why r u using 29% hydrogen peroxide instead of the usual 3% though? could be burning your roots a bit, as this looks similar to nitrogen toxicity... could also be too much nitrogen.

its not actual hydrogen peroxide its H202

and i use it due to not having a water chiller it suposta help with fighting off rot and such.

so too much N huh? should i cut down on grow? cuz im not adding as much micro as grow?

29% H2o2 (hydrogen peroxide) @ 5 ml/gal. is less than 3% when DILUTED.
also, try this
6ml micro
9ml bloom,
2-3ml grow
3-5ml calmg+
10-20ml h2o2
it is definitely not a N toxicity.
every feeding and water needs Calmg.
how are the roots looking/smelling?

eh.. Many strains do that and I say it may be environmental before thinking it's a genetic thang. I just recommended changing up the food chart to something I gave him initially, that I think was either mis understood or poorly written. I have worked with Bubs since before it was called pre' blah blah blah.. Bubbas should have some friggin huge dark fans. this is why I changed up the food a bit. they honestly look pretty good, but they could be a little darker, and have some fatter foliage and thicker stems.

ok ok,it smells kinda funky dont know how to describe it,the roots dont look too bad a slight tan but mostly white i'll post pix in my diary tomorrow of the roots, so i WAS plannin on doing a drain and refill tomorrow maybe i'll clean it all out and refill with the change up regimine. Thanks toohighmf. so should i add aquashield or leave it out? could that be the problem? cuz i did add some when the rez was hangin out at 78* for a few hrs.

At those temps, aquashield works, but bumping up the h2o2 will definitely kill the funk. 5ml of 29% h2o2 is less than the recommended dose. Someone please show me a plant that died from a bleached rhizosphere. I have conducted my own experiments w the stuff, and have applied 35% concentrate for 20 minutes with no ill effects. I put a liter in my pythium ridden ez-cloner and had beautiful roots. I been using the stuff for years in sterile enviros. it's awesome stuff. dissapates on its own every 72 hours.. what else are you putting in your res?

Nothing else that's it. So should I drop the AS and bump up the H202 like your above nute alteration?

@ 5ml/gal of calmg+ I doubt it. he's low on micros and his res temps for RDWC are too high. higher temps mean lower oxygen exchange. how to fix? oxygen...

sweet thanks alot toohighmf,more H2o2 and aquashield----CHECK!!!

i'll be refilling today with your recent administered nute formula,i guess we'll see how it works in the next week huh?

I'll post pix as/after i clean and refill later on today.

and U4EA: im runnin a 600w HPS in a Cool Sun 6" aircooled and its prolly 1.5-2ft away from the tops,canopy temps usually 73-76* on warmer days maybe reach 80* so i dont think its that.
