Is this hydro saveable?

[#1cheesebuds]

Is this aerogarden lady saveable at all? Shes 49 days old atm. I thought about adding some calcium/magnesium to the res.
There is an airstone in there thats on 24/7. So I don't know, it's strong enough to put out enough bubbles. Feels like I need a stronger air pump for better oxygen to the roots. The roots look white.

Does look drown. Perhaps cold at the same time. Food won't fix it.

 

[#1cheesebuds]

Ok... then what will fix it? What about adding Cal/mag to the res? The water temps feel fine.

Transplant to soil

If they are drowning then more air will help. Feeling is not a good way to check water temps...use a gauge. Hydro plants need air. What size is your air pump? The more info you give the better we can help. Give us some details...we know almost zero about it...I have grown in water only for over 5 years now...
Have a good day. Peace, negative.

 

[FTL]

If you can give some more info it will be easier for people to help you

Water temp.
Type of water you use
Air temp @ canopy kevel
PH
CF/EC
Type of light you are using
Distance of light to canopy

Well i just now added a lil bit of cal mag to the rez. Ph is about 5.6.

DWC? Root health and the state of the roots are more important than anything else in water cultures. Do you do any preventative measures to combat root pathogens like Pythium root rot?

Cheers!

Get some ogbiowar root pack

This is the old air pump im using now. The deal is that it's an aerogarden and I don't know how to properly work it because it has to many settings to choose from. Like, for example, it has the ability to change the pump cycle.And I don't know what to put it on.
I don't know what settings to use. I used to grow in DWC back in the day and it worked just fine. The led lights are around 10-12 inches above the canopy.

Get some ogbiowar root pack

What does that stuff do?

 

[whiteberrieS]

Coats the roots with like 20 different strains of beneficial bacteria. I had 16 clones about to die in my cloner and @wh1p3dm34t said yeah they aren't gonna live without some trichoderma Rex...root pack has it and a bunch of other beneficials. Does your system have misters in there or just bubbling water? A water pump and some misters in there will help a lot too

air pump should be on 24/7. Water temp should be ideally around 66...no way your getting that without a chiller. Lights should be measured in intensity not distance from canopy. Water should be changed out weekly and Ph should be kept around 5.9 or so when in flower. Air temps should be close to 80 lights on. What nutrients are you using and at what ratios? Do you run a sterile res or live? Hydro has many moving parts and they all must be working together. The picture of your air pump tells us nothing about how many liters per minute it puts out...that's the number you want to look for...almost impossible to give to much air...almost.
Peace, negative.

There is an airstone in there. But I think the pump I'm using is too old and weak to put enough are for lots of bubbles.

The pump is on 24/7. The temps are good. The box said that the lights are supposed to be 50watt leds. Plus there are 2 bright led grow side lights.

White but how do they look and how developed are they? Roots are clearly not taking up nutrients so shouldn't your focus be on solving that?

Most issues in water culture are root rot and fungal in nature. Roots might look fine on the surface but being rotted from the inside.

It's not a matter of if but when you start running in to problems without running a water chiller and not doing and preventative measures to keep roots healthy and clean of any biofilm from the root stomata. People use oxidizers or mono bacteria cultures to remove biofilm and as a result increase nutrient uptake and keeping nasties at bay.

A low temp + beneficial micro-life, can't compete with a proper temperature and sterile environment.

I havn't seen anything said about feed yet. Just adding calmag, and there appears to be an egg yolk

Bring your PH up close to 7 wouldn't hurt

I have been feeding it the food the aerogarden came with and according to whats on the bottle of food.
