Advanced nutrients organics in dwc..... Any one have any xp? - Organic Hydro - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Jjburnout · 03-11-2010, 04:54 PM

I'm wondering if anyone here has used the following AN products In dwc system? Iguana juice, tarantula and piranha. I am currently using these three organic nutes in my dwc and i am getting brown roots... Not root rot, I don't think anyway..... The roots are not smelly just brownish and there is a little bit of foam on top of res. Most of the discoloration is between the top of the res and the bottom of my net pots. I'm hoping the brown roots are just from the organics. Also it seems that not all the tarantula wants to disolve, Lea ing a black sandy deposit in the bottom of res. There is no light leaking into res and the roots under water are alot whiter than the roots in the air..... Any one else have any dwc experiance with these products?

I did the same thing when I started out with AN Organic Nutes, the brown stuff is the microbe organism in the water reproducing and colonizing the root zone. When the bubbles pop the enzymes from the microbe dispers in the air on the roots thats not in the water thats why the roots look brown from the emzymes. I'm a soil grower now but I bubble every know and again. I made a bubble cloner that works wonders.

You should be fine. Yes the organics will darken the roots. Be careful how much you add. Once the colonies are established, they shouldn't need as much beneficials per rez change. Weekly, right?'

You should add a submerseable recirculating pump. Put the pump in a paint filter bag, available at all paint departments.

Yes...I do weekly res changes and i am following the AN calculator.... Its my first time using organics in DWC and im just trying to get these nutes all dialed in....im glad that the brown roots are nothing to be worried about............ so is it necessary to use the beneficials every change?

thanks for the input

I think your going to find no matter what nutes you use in DWC there is going to be a bit of nute deposit in the bottom. Prob why peeps use RDWC?

How often do you drain your res? My res gets a drain every 7 to 10 days to keep fresh nutes in the res at all times.

Yeah thAt's true with the water pump it stirs the mix more consistantly hence not as much residue at bottom but regardless ull be fine. I use an airwand at the bottom help a lifttle More cuz was bubbling little more all over but ull be fine following an schedule. Even cut
a little out once Its established

Sounds normal. Sometimes the humic acids in piranha and tarantula can stain your roots a brownish color. Keep rockin those beneficials though, it'll keep your roots healthier which equals more nutrient uptake.
