Hi, i've just started using a bubbler and i'm paranoid about getting root rot.

i've been reading about Barricade and Tarantula from AN but don't know if it's all marketing nonsense
currently nutrient wise i'm using Grow and Bloom from AN and i really don't fancy a 15 step protection plan......i'd much rather just buy 1 bottle that just does the job, if possible

any advise or suggestions are greatly appreciated

why would you get root rot ?

have you got airstones ?

how big are your bubblers?


put your wallet away , an will empty that quick time

i grew out a KaliMist from seed and it turned out to be a male, so i chopped it down....and i noticed a little mold on the roots, so i started reading about potassium silicate to prevent this.

yes, got airstone and i'm using an oxy-pot.....think its approx 20L

cheers for the quick reply jiffa

when you say mold on the roots , what do you mean ? decribe it to me

Best way to avoid root problems is plenty of Air bubbles and nutrient solution >22deg C.

i was just white and 'whispy' fur on the roots......when i was binning it i knew i should have just taken a pic but didn't

i definitely think it was bad

is root rot difficult to get in the bubbler system, and am i just fretting unnecessarily?
water based i thought the chances of getting it would be more

if you got an aistone in each bucket , you should be sweet .


it the roots where white they weren't rotting .

your dissolving oxegen into the water constantly so they wont drown , dont reckon they'd last long without the airpump

thanks snadge, i've got a little res heater which is at 21.....i'll stick it up to 23/23
cheers man

ahh got ya....thank you

got a solution, didn't cost anything....just need to learn not to worry so much

might go have a bifter to celebrate

cheers again

22 is good 21 is better, I mean keep it under 22, DWC is a bastard for root rot if your solution temperature is high.

cool thanks snadge under 22....cheers man
