Oh Nooooo! It's the brown frown...root rot!!!!!π«
Overnight she's looking damn near dead..
Plenty of bubbles in the res and no sign of algae...but her roots are slimy and brown...π
Checked TDS also..way too high..I suck at DWC I guess..π
Emptied the reservoir and added nothing but filtered water, florakleen, and 135ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide.
Tomorrow I'll do another change and add hydroguard (if it arrives in time), boomerang, and green eden endoboost to replace the beneficial bacteria ...or I'll just add peroxide again for a day if the hydroguard doesn't arrive in time.

The plant looks a little worse today on the tops..much leaf death, but most leaves a couple internodes below look normal still..
The hydrogard didn't arrive, so I just added more peroxide.
3/12:
Did a res change today with filtered/de-chlorinated water, and added hydroguard, boomerang, and green eden endoboost. I plucked off a small trash bag-full of dead leaves and took some photos. She's so naked now..but the lower leaves are getting light, which is good because they will have to be the primary photosynthesis engines for her now. The PPM was just 380..quite a bit better than the 3,000+ I let it get up to...(oops)
I'm also now keeping the tent temperature at between 67f and 70f throughout the day, and it drops to the low 60's at night, but tomorrow I'm gonna try putting my bucket into a big 7 gallon roaster pot filled with chilled water to ensure that my roots stay as cold as possible. I've got a bunch of blue ice packs that I can swap out in throughout the day.
I also cut a big piece of mylar and used it to fully cover my bucket and reflect away the light in case there really are light leaks..
The root mass on this plant is filling about 90% of the bucket and when I remove the bucket lid, I can only really see bubbles coming up on one side of the roots. I'm gonna order a more powerful pump and bigger airstone.
3/16:
Sad to say that despite all my best efforts to save her, she didn't make it...π
At least I can get my spring auto crop going in advance of the other FFT's finishing........always look on the bright side of life (whistles)π
