Hello Icmag community, i salute you from the far north of our globe with i have been running my homemade dwc system in the past like duration of 6years with in my opinion good success. but recently moved to another city and started the hobby again and for the 6months and counting im basicly still stuck in the early early grow stage, after 3 different seedlings...
im pretty sure there is something different in the tap water in the new town which is fucking up all my past knowledge how to run things.
70liter tank last like a week or two before gets all dregged and slimy. rendering the roots useless and dysfunctional. which form poorly after coming out of the netpot and contacting the water anyway. in the past the root growth has been much more firm right from the start.
during the good years a tank didnt require a forced total reset, only fill up corretly as consumed.
for the last 6months i have used the same AHH nut set as before, after the last reset i changed them and waiting for the results. more to follow on that one.
tap water here is run through slimestone deposite according to the water department, tho in EC meter the numbers are not alarming, like 0.14-0.15 on the past versus 0.17-0.19 atm.
im no chemist, i dont have a clue what might be the reason for the water + nuts + air acting up so differently on the res, and on this i would like to have some much needed feedback..
also can be stated that all the regular basic enveriomental aspects should be in order. light,temps,ec,ph,humidity etc etc
