Root rot in (re-used) coco?
ActioPaulianastarted grow question 4 years ago
Medium: coco/perlite (65/35), 25L AirRap pots. Re-used from last grow after 2 months drying followed by rinsing all the cocodust away. There was still rootmaterial from last growth in there. Plants are droopy all the time, stunted grow, but no rotten egg smell. Is this root rot?

I see a bit of old root growth but not to much root rot. By what i see, you have at least 90% healthy roots. Ive reused the same soil going on my 2nd grow using the old mulched up root systems with no issues and healthy plants from seed to harvest. Make sure you sanitize the pot and flush the soil as a precaution. If the soil is still fertile to grow in why not reuse soil when you can? However if you aren't 100% confident reusing it, then the best choice is always new soil.

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. What else do you advice peep?

help in Hydro RDWC/DWCHello, my plants are now about 4 weeks old. The leaves droop and curl. The spots on the leaves are increasing. Is the PPM value too high? It's 1000ppm tds
They grow in an RDWC system with top feed. The top feed is permanently switched on. Can that lead to problems?

Clones have browned rootsMy clones have started to sprout my first roots luckily enough although yesterday I made a mistake by leaving them outdoors with the dome off my roots have browned and I suspect it’s from sunlight/wind, new roots are white it seems. Plants look a bit sad
Should I be worried?

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.

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!

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.

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?
