I'm no hydro guy, but them roots look minging mate. I was under the impression they should be white :/

**potreek** · 15-05-16, 11:37 AM

I know mate, I think a little browning is ok with the feeds. But I think these are rotting

**potreek** · 15-05-16, 04:06 PM

Anyone help me out here?

If it is root rot how long have I got to save the plant before it's totally snookered ?

**Bud Lightyear** · 15-05-16, 04:38 PM

Defo looks like root rot, does it smell like bad eggs and feel slimey ? What's your rez temperature, you do have a airstone in there right ?

Regards BL

Doesn't smell bad, but yeah there's some slimy areas.

I don't get it though, the res temps are around 19 - 21 and there's 30L air pump... Unless the res temps are rising or my temp gauge isn't accurate.

It's a lot worse than it was yesterday. Think there's a day left to try and save this plant.

Might do a coco grow and try DWC again during the winter.

What nutes are you feeding them . Certain nutes start breeding cultures in your res tank . I can't use super thrive in Dwc but have always used it on trays

ionic ones mate. I have a technaflora kits as well, never used it.

sound mad.. but if it is the nutes would changing the res over to technaflora and washing the roots under running water help ?

Don't want this plant to die on me

Wash the roots and remove as much as the slime as possible under a cold tap gently . Wash the complete bucket air stone lid with mild bleach solution and rinse . Once you're happy with everything being clean and that's even the air hose . Fill bucket back up with plain water 5.8ph just about a inch below net pot make sure they is no light leaks getting into the bucket even though the clay pebbles and net pot . Give it a couple of days and you should see some white roots . Then give it the weakest feed and build it up slowly and keep everything clean and change res every week

going to try that just now. Would you suggest switching the technaflora nutes after that ?
