Root rot?

Kosmicstarted grow question 6y ago

This clearly looks like root rot, right? Gonna try to save my babies by amending their soil with perlite. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Total newbie here, so I'm taking it as a learning experience 🤷‍♂️

Ты их слишком заливаешь водой, бро! Им достаточно в таком возрасте по 100-150 мл в 1-3 литровом горшке! Слишком обильный полив и в тех растениях, которые живут у тебя в 3,5 литровых горшках, но ты даёшь им по 500 миллилитров воды! Для их горшков максимальная доза воды - 10% от объема горшка - 350 миллилитров воды максимум можно вносить в такие 3,5 литровые горшки! 👆 Меньше полив, бро! Удачи, друг! ✊😇

Your problem is your feeding practices.. Your giving your young plants way too much juice bro. The soil mix is hot enough as it is without you adding nutrients to the feed water.

Root Debris in DWC. Lots of it. What is causing it? How do I fix it? I don't see root rot at all. It's not really as dark as the picture.Why am I getting so much root debris? The pH is always fluctuating and I can't get it to stabilize. Is this the cause of the weird root debris? My other plant isn't doing it with the same mix and same pH swings. I don't see root rot anywhere. No slime nothin. Just light brown.

I've tried using enzymesKomplete in the buckets as told by a local hydroponics store and it seems to do lots of harm to the first plant and will not use it with my second seedling.
