First grows

Not a clear enough picture to access damage. She does look small and droopy though. Is your air stone and pump working? Looking at your picture of the roots it doesn’t appear to be on.

What are you using to check the pH? What’s the reading?

I just opened the bottom up and the pump wasn’t working again - this unit is 15 days old and I literally have to do something to it every day…the internet is always disconnecting, the pump is clearly defective, the light leak and noise and rattle that comes out of this box is like my grandparents old fridge… (which is cravy crazy the pump isn’t working lol

I know it’s a strange place to ask but does anyone have any experience returning a unit? This is WAY more trouble than the remote possibility of an ounces of cannabis.

I feel duped. Maybe not duped; maybe I just am not the type of customer who shouldn’t have bought this product “yet”.

Sorry about your unit!!! Did you put in a ticket to let customer service know? They will send out a new pump for you. In the meantime if your pump is all the way out you might wish to consider picking one up until they send you out a replacement If your afraid your plant is suffering.
Can I ask where on your unit your experiencing a light leak? I had one on the upper Left side of my unit, i used a magnet to bridge the gap. I can’t show you how much light comes out because my plant is asleep right now but here is a pic of the magnet pressing the side panel back in to seal the gap.


As far as the noise, you have to expect a little but some people have noticed their pumps touching the unit or its parts and have padded it to lessen the noise.
You may wish to talk with @Stephen, to see if he can trouble shoot the source of you wifi because others have been experiencing issues unrelated to their router and modem lately. Again I’m very sorry and hoping you won’t give up!

I’ve noticed at times that my box can be quite loud and rattle. One thing I noticed was when I opened the bottom door on the back of the unit the wires were vibrating against the machine causing the noise level to basically double. Once I moved them it did quiet down a bit. The fan in the top of the unit seems to have the same issue right now (although not as loud) but being as I am in a grow I don’t want to take the top off to adjust. Sorry to hear of your other issues!

Hey @Mike_Sampson,

You can return your unit within the first 30 days if you wish. I can assist you getting the unit to quiet down a bit, as @Bplatinum9 indicated above, some great troubleshooting tips.

I can also send you out a replacement airpump, have you submitted a ticket about it yet? I’m about to dig into them now.

Cheers,
Stephen

Hey @TaraGrows,

How is your battle with root rot? Did the Hydroguard arrive and is it helping?

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi @Stephen, thanks for checking in! Time to break out your 80s nostalgia memorabilia because I feel like I’m in an episode of Stranger Things. My girl is looking good, growing nicely

However, the Upside Down is just as slimy and root rotty as before.

Now, I’m super happy at the new growth of roots and a lot of it looks white. What are the professional opinions?

And as a second question, I extended early vegetation by 7 days, but would anyone say she might be ready for the next cycle? I don’t want her to veer too far off course and I’m not certain the differences between the two.

Again thanks so much for all the help and thoughts and positive vibes!

Are you sure it’s slimy? Smelly too? If not that may just be nute stain. If so get some hydroguard going right away, and get a bottle of revive!! Also recharge will help your roots explode. Apply all three and you should be good to go. Keep hydroguard and revive as part of your regular feeding schedule :+1::v:

@Osage I have incorporated Hydroguard into my feeding schedule(whenever water is changed I add it). What is the benefit of this recharge you are talking about? Do you have a link as to where it’s at? Does it help with yield?

Recharge is a beneficial bacteria, that helps with massive root development, thus enabling the plant to take up more nutes, and in turn get bigger and better yields. Can be used with any medium, and any nutes.

I have started using the equivalent of recharge recently (3 other products with same stuff, already had from soil grows) with amazing results so far as well.

Hi Everyone,

I ended up adding an extra week to my early transition; I still feel like she’s slow going - At this point is there anything I should be doing?

This is at day 40 (Just wondering if I can do anything to help her grow?)

Thanks,
Mike
