Got GUNK in REZ NEED HELP FAST!!!

looks good man...ok here is the trick with the farms and the plants eating readings...mix your nutrients test them with the ph pen (write the numbers down ph and tds)than dump the nutrients in the waterfarm and when they run through the medium check the numbers again(ph tds) at this point you will be like wtf the number is higher on the tds(its because the medium)now you subtract the first reading from the second reading and this gives you the ppms that are not nutrients..so when you check your ppms you subtract that number and get the real reading...lesson two lets say your at 800 ppm with a fresh batch of nutes and the next day you check and your at 750 ppms what happened is the plant is drinking more nutrients than water and you ph will rise and tds go down...now if yu check it and it went from 800to 900 ppm in 24 hrs than you know your to hot..hope this helps im kind of stoned rite now any more questions just shoot..peace

right on thanks bro so no need to lower the dose due to the plant being affected a little by root rot or whatever someone said its stunted so giving it the same amount of nutes would damage it??? well i dont know shit... haha but giving it the same amount of nutes what have any ill affects right???

heya

i have no exp what so ever with waterfarms....but i do know rezervoir temps should be at 68 degrees go much higer and slime will form causing rootrot....maybe a chiller in the reservoir if temps are 2 high?? i also read that H2O2 can solve root/slime problems....although it kills all the benny's its used for that....i hope this helps a little coz i olny have this info of reading....

by following the tds instructions i gave you a few post ago you will know what they are eating...you want to find the balance that the plant tells you...after adding back nutes rite down the ppms and check them tomorrow and tell me the difference in the two numbers...that will tell me if your under feeding or over feeding...if the tds number goes up over night than your to hot if it goes down your not hot enough..peace
