Plants exploded this week in growth. Very nice thick stalk and each have grown 4 nodes so I will be topping down to the 3rd soon, however I am trying to cure what seems to be root rot with about all my plants. Gods gift has shown the most signs of root rot while the
Arctic Grape and Pandora’s Box (same reservoir) are still growing very strong but are showing brown roots as well.
UPDATE 12/19/19
Wrapped my reservoirs in black heavy duty gorilla tape and cannot see any light or glow inside anymore.
Topping reservoir with nutrient water (tap water, 24hrs covered indoors) at 1tsp/gal. I fed my gals pH'd tap water for the first week from seed, week 2 1/4tsp/gal, week 3 1/2tsp/gal. I will cut back the nutes if I go overboard, end of week 3 my PPMs in
reservoir are 378 and my topping water will be 550 ppm. Will update PPMs in res after I top it up. Thanks for all the feedback on my first grow guys, I know I can do this!! :D
I am struggling with root rot in both my 20 gal reservoirs. Fixed light leaks 6 days ago (day 16) I included hydroguard in every reservoirs change and my water temps are pretty stable at 67-69 degrees f. I have 2 large air stones per 10gal water on highest setting. Any ideas?
Hey there CannaBodian, yeah you can increase the hydroguard to full strength and you can even clip off the bottom 20% of the problem roots - that's called root pruning. You dont want root rot getting out of control. Hope this helps ! 🚀
You can add 2 tsp of 3% hydrogen peroxide per gallon to your reservoir and it will kill any bacteria that is causing root issues. It will break down so you can add it every 4 or 5 days.
@Wicked_Stix, Thank you for helping! The hydroguard seems to have done its job and I see slow recovery already. Silly me didn't get all the light leaks, reservoir material was pretty thin. Wrapped them in black duct tape, and its already getting better. Appreciate the advice man!
f'ing love these strains... tempted to grow em. Would you re-grow these?
Look forward to keeping up with your grow, i'm following as of now. Im growing a few similar strains check out my progress, i'd love to hear your feedback.
@Kid_Colombia, bro thanks for following! This is my first grow ever but I def think I would! Gods Gift and Pandora's Box have been soaking up all the nutes so far and love the T5s. Pretty resilient as well. I will for sure check yours out man! Cheers!
