starting with the transplants....no fuss happy plants!
Check out this plant....it used to be normal about 1.5 months ago...then it did this...
And here is the "promising" new root growth.... I don't hold out much hope for the hydro plants...they live on despite me trying to kill them at every turn...finding some interesting "snot" on a couple of the plants roots this am....more bleach... more hygrozyme (which is an enzyme formula that is supposed to break down dead plant matter...) ppms in the 200-300 range, roots at 74F . And i've been changing the resevior like crazy , at least once every 3 days and thats way too much work.
some root darkening but still branching...
this plant was happy a couple days ago but is looking like death warmed over....i lose plants on occasion....
here's what my pvc airstone looks like....hooked up to a 1744 galon/hr air pump.... so far its been better than the flood and drain though I'd like to combine the two...as i currently have to raise and lower the water level to get complete coverage (just really want to get bleach/nutrient solution up those dark, partly slimy holes every once in a while.
and the plants from above...mostly on the mend from the aphid infestation and resulting abuse.
1000 seeds on the way....this little hydro grow might be on its last legs....as soil appears a better option. though I do love the hydro...(I have a little thing for water...and plants...)
looking forward to everybody in soil, happy and getting blasted with 1000watt every chance i get!
