Smerky those measurements where meant for a 15 liter res mate ...not 4 ml in a liter ..... 4 ml into 15 liters which is about what you mix for an oxypot

so mate ...get 15L (fifteen liters) of water & add ....in this order ....

cal mag = 6ml
silica = 4ml
rhizo = 15ml (quarter bottle strength)
canna zym = no more than bottle strength
aqua vega = make up the PPM to 500 with equil amounts of A & B

Those are amounts that go into 15 liters of water .... if your brummie bucket is 75 liters then you need to x those amounts by 5 =

cal mag = 30ml
silica = 20ml
rhizo = 75ml
aqua vega = up to 500 PPM with A & B equil amounts

Hi mate my rez is 23 and my roots are off white. Bt all plants look healthy and green. It looks like a bit ov root rot wat shud I do ?

 

[DWCocha]

hey bud ...if you use a pipit that has had other nutes in & then use it for silica ,it will react & go shity ...make sure everything you use is well rinsed & if its not that ,then maybe its bad ? ... unlikely though unless its been kept in a hot place or see through container ?.

as for the rez bro ..... not good , & zym wont help once you have rot / slime ..........read the "sticky" threads at the top of this hydro section of the forum , the "8 step program" & others about curing it ,but Im guessing its the temps & the 1st thing you need to do is get them down ... 20 or less if poss or it will not go away if at all .... every time I got it i scrapped the grow or let it run for a fraction of the final weight in the end :stoneslap: prevention is the key mate :Sharing One:

I've gt my temp dwn to 20. And they look fine. The rez smells fresh and clean. My friend says its not root rot just green slime were light is hitting water. I've now covered that part and changed my air line from see threw to black. Wats the best way to keep rez temp below 20 is there a rez chiller u can buy. And should I use somethin like c202 or aqua shield to keep rez clean and protected
