Indoor Opinions on root growth for 18th day in DWC. Polar Express.

[steelcap956]

Res temp 63 64f pH is questionable because the meter is frakfrea garbage but it's all I could afford at the moment. Last reading was 5.5. Using AN pH perfect MicroGrowBloom nutes. It's supposed to have a balanced ph. Cal mag from Botanicare 12mls every res change for my 5 gallon set up. Spay leaves with Rhizotonic solution every morning. But I do pull the plant out of the hydroton once or twice. Is that bad? Is it stunted. Also sometimes the nite res temp is at 61f for a hour or so til the temp rises to 63-64 and cooler kicks back on. Opinions welcome from experienced hydro growers.

Yea... that’s a bummer.

The roots will grow down through the hydroton and Into your water in the bucked... pull the plant up.. break the roots.

Plant will be severely stunted for quite some time :/

I hope a miraculous turn happens tho!

Whoa dude, don't do that! Doesn't your lid lift off the bucket so you can see the roots? You must have snapped a load of roots getting it out the hydrotron?

Na I was careful. She's a bruiser anyway.
This is on my lunch break. I sprayed a little Rhizotonic on the leaves. Should I cut the yellow ones off?
