my plants were plagued with root rot every week for 6 months, even though i changed my res once a week.
i started with fogponics, then my first crop died as seedlings, thought it was the fogponics that brought the rot.
i switched to nft and got the plants to be 1.5 feet tall, but they were plagued by root rot for 6 months.
first i thought it was the temperature, so i bought a water cooler and brought it down to 50F, but the root rot didnt stop.
someone told me 50 was too cold so i brought it up to 60, but the rot kept coming
maybe it was because my ph balencer is very potent and i accidentally dropped it to 3.5 sometimes, but it always rose back up really quick so i wasn't too concerned.
i tried hydroguard, then voodoo juice, then voodoo with sensizyme. no effect. the sensizyme actually seemed to super charge the root rot.
i made some compost tea that gave my plants a big boost for a while, thought i solved the problem. but the tea made the water murky and it was harder to see the root rot coming. the rot came back and killed all the plants.
my new plan is to keep the water temp at 60 and try really hard to never drop the ph below 5. maybe it was the great white in the tea i made that helped for a little while. ill use the great white and the voodoo juice.
not too hopeful though. the rot has really discouraged me after trying so many things for so long.
wondering if anyone has any ideas, or can recommend any hardy strains with good yeild. thanks guys.
