Roots Excelurator issue?

Benick024started grow question 5y 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!

Root rot even using a little water. Can't help It!In my second try I still had troubles with root rot by overwatering issues. This time I waited even 3/4 between waterings (half liter for plant) but soil never ever dried properly. Next time I'll use Light mix, grow shop pots and practice patience.
