I just rinse my coco with my veg nutes aka (6/9) at .8-1.0ec

I keep my ec around that all through veg and pump it to full 6/9 around 1.2ec for flower.

No need for cal-mag if your using tap water and 6/9. I know people run 6/9 with no cal-mag even with RO water. Wouldnt rinse with plain h20 never done that once in my life but I use coco out the bag.

Dead Rez (bleach or Dutchmaster Zone etc) Flood and Drain Hydro using the Lucas Formula (+humic acid + calmag) was hands down the easiest and heaviest yielding run I've ever done. There was NOTHING to clean up at the end and every piece of equipment was re-used without cleaning. Soo simple.

I know I'm chiming in here late, but honestly look into Dead Rez systems. As long as you're giving your girls what they need you don't need beneficial life forms.

I'd grab a bottle of sm-90 it will get those roots back to huge and white quick rite. It uses some type of flower I cant recall but it smells like super lemon drop and it works great.

as for DWC it sucks try flood and drain buckets with pebbles ala soquick search icmag is boring as shit and you will see what Im talkin bout! Keeps the nute temps down and doesnt drown the plants either. dwc is okay in veg dont get me wrong but you have to keep it cool.

I know this an old thread but there's no much activity in this subforum so I wanted to post something helpful.

Another vote for Great White. I had the exact issues you describe (got the res temp down by shielding my res with sunshades) and the only thing that fixed it was Great White. Only takes about a day and the good bacteria defeat the bad and things stay SUPER stable. Like way more stable than without GW and without bacteria even! I add the GW at each full res change only and it'll be good for the duration.

definately h2o2 and certainly no bleach.

if you have a hydro store i would grab some sm90 its great stuff and will fix the root rot quick. Its also good for other stuff too.

most issues in hydroculture always end up being ppm in the rez.

i understand water temp and oxygen are big issues. but if reses and rooms are hot, then nutes should be 1/2 or even up to 1/4 strength

i have had reses above 80 in some sitiaution before. with no issues if ppm is adjusted accordingly. i do not recommend this approach as it is far from optimal. but nonetheless you get the idea

good luck

Dude at 80 degrees dropping the nutes isnt going to affect any case of root rot dude. high temps cause bacteria fwiw.

dwc is one of the most forgiving systems.

i am speaking from experience. not from what i have read. its lack of oxygen not high temps that cause bacteria

pretty sure an air stone is providing all the oxygen the roots need

i did r/d for over 2 years for bc northen lights. and have done everything near and far to dwc in my tenure

kind regards
