Roots Excelurator issue?
Benick024started grow question 4 years ago
Anyone had any issue with Roots Excelurator causing root rot or causing the roots to become brown and slimy? It was used in combination with Hydroguard in a 5gal DWC and it does have an air pump feeding two air stones. And i never have the air pump turned off.

What else would you call brown slimy roots other than root rot. I don’t understand how a ph imbalance would trigger a colony of bacteria to attack the roots? In my experience with DWC, it has always been a combination of factors which are; res temp, oxygen, light leak, plant/organic matter and human interference. Touching/disturbing roots Can easily introduce bacteria , leaves or plant matter in res will do the same. Sounds like you have enough oxygen, but I don’t know that. Light leaks are common. Warm res temps is numero uno. It’s best to keep it on the cool side to avoid any possibility of heat being a contributing element. Like 20C max. Preferably 18C. Down at 15C and your slowing down metabolism. Hope any of this helps. Cheers 🍻

Приветствую, бро! 👋 Это не корневая гниль, это проблема с питанием вследствие твоего слишком щелочного ph, как для гидропоники dwc. Отрегулируйте ph в значении 5.6-5.7 , смените раствор, черные места в корнях обрежьте, разберитесь со слизью, максимально очистите корни, но не перестарайся, бро! Корни - очень хрупкие и очень осторожно всё делай! 👌😇👍 Удачи, друг!

Help with DWCHelp. Need it for DWC. Why are my roots turning brown. They just look weak and not so strong. I can touch them and know they are not healthy. Running 4 buckets with 4inch airstones. I'm nowhere near an expert. Just still learning. I've done a DWC before,never problems .

Is this a sign of root rot? How to save the plant?2 weeks after germination: the base of my plant's stem has a dark color which I think may be root rot. The rest looks very healthy. How can I make sure it is rot? Is peroxide/water solution really helpful if that's the problem?

DWC - root video, h2o2 issueYet another anxiety, I hope it is nothing special. But prevention is better than cure and here you all know more than I do!
I added 10ml of 3% H2O2 inside the DWC through the control tube, after a few seconds there was a strange chemical reaction.

Root rot?Roots are brown but don't feel slimy and give off no odour. New root growth is virgin white. Could it be discoloration from the nutrient solution or is it the dreaded root rot? pH is constant 5.9-6.1...I added 5mL/gallon hydrogen peroxide to be safe

Roots getting brownMy Ph probe didn't work, PH was at least more than 0.30 (maybe 0.60) than displayed. As a result they had multiple chlorosis, now septoria leaf spots and possible Pythium since the roots are getting brown. What would you do to save the crop ? Adding mycorrhizae? Thx!

Root rot or not?I can’t tell if this is normal discoloration or starting signs of root rot. Running Orca, Roots Excellurator silver, hydroguard and z7, res temps have drifted around 72-75f when my chiller was down for the first week, have since kept it at 68f. Would greatly appreciate some help.

Root problem or not?I would like to know if this discolouration because of the clay pebbles sitting constantly in the DWC pool and colouring the roots or from nutrients or is this a root problem? There is no slimy thing or bad smell or stunt growth which can be detected.
