Can you use cannasym at the same time as silver bullet roots? It says it’s a enzyme, not sure if that means it’s living like microbes? that would get killed.

One or the other bro, silver bullets is for a sterile res which will kill all bacteria good and bad whereas cannazym is benefial bacteria

Ah right ok, thanks for all your replies I really appreciate the help.
The mother plant was too big so had to flip to 12/12 though she’s really small and I really regret all the defoliation it was totally not needed. Got a couple of others in there also way too small (I think?) really not sure lol live n learn!

What size pump are you using in lpm? I ask in litres as a UK gallon is different from a US gallon so confuses the he'll outa me!

Got two in there now, one says 2 Litres per minutes, the other 1.6. That should be ok? There pumps I had got for airdomes in autopot setup.

Need to change res later but doubt will find time

I think that might be your issue, my bucket is 27l and I fill it with roughly 18l of solution to take it to just underneath the net pot and I have a 40lpm pump for 2 buckets so 20lpm per bucket although some people will say I'm going overboard but I've had 2 very successful grows and no sign of root rot either!

It is really not about how much air you are pumping into the reservoir it is about how much oxygen exchange is taking place. Large violent bubbles are very inefficient at exchanging oxygen while tiny soft bubbles are very efficient. Smaller bubbles are "softer" because the rise to the surface slower which is less violent and gives the air more contact time with the water for a better exchange rate.
