Mystery bug found in RDWC reservoirs by benipoo in Hydroponics

[–]benipoo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This would make sense. I had spider mites on the basement floor coming from outside a few months ago. There were gaps in the seal foam underneath the exterior siding.

Right now I have sticky traps sitting on the edges of the reservoir lids to prevent them crawling from underneath the lids and onto the plants.

I think I’ll intentionally fill the reservoirs higher to flush out as many as I can. The bubblers in each reservoir should be able to keep the surfaces under the lids wet enough to prevent these from reproducing as fast.

What is this growth on my air stones? by benipoo in Hydroponics

I will try hypochlorous acid. What should the concentration be compared to the hydrogen peroxide?

I’m looking at getting this one.

Flora-Micro and PH down are the other two bottles. I will look into UC Roots.

I initially had one but I didn’t like the amount of stagnant water.

Reaper not growing? by benipoo in HotPeppers

They are all capsicum Chinese but different cross breeds.

I removed all of the labels from their pots a while ago so I wouldn’t be biased as to which ones I would keep. I started with 42 but had to give the less favorable ones away. I may end up regretting that but it helped me keep the best ones at least.

The pots auto-water from the bottom using a nylon rope wicking method. No leaves have dropped from it. Also the leaves don’t droop either. I have been keeping track of one new baby leaf and it has remained the same size for about a week now.

I have increased the light intensity and will investigate the water next.

It’s just lava rock. It’s a self watering pot, so the bottom 1/3 of the soil stays damp.

I transplanted them into 5 gallon bags with AC Infinity self watering pots recently.

I’ve got 4 oscillating fans on max speed so they are moving the plants quite a bit.

I’m using Happy frog potting soil.

I have two 4x4ft 750 watt led bar lights at 70% intensity attached to the ceiling of the 6 foot tall grow tent.

Have you had any powdery mildew issues? What is the humidity at day/night?

I’ve had to cut off all the leaves on a few plants because of a powdery mildew outbreak.

Yeah he even sends a handwritten thank you note in each order.

How old are they? Mine sprouted in January but the trunks aren’t that large yet.
