Rotten roots

Crescita rallentata. Sembrava andare tutto nel verso giusto invece la radici della mia white wid dwc hanno subito l'attacco di un batterio che le fa andare in putrefazione e non riesco in nessun modo a eliminarlo, ho eliminato un po di marciume ma credo che ormai sia compromessa

Roots. Color - Brown

Hi @HDROBEAT I had a similar problem in the first month and a half of this season. I've cleaned the reservoirs every few days with no effect. Then it hit me. Because I was only cleaning it "organically" with only water and a sponge, a lot of bacteria were still there after cleaning. That's why I decided to clean it with a hospital grade chemicals and it did the job. The moment I've cleaned it, all 4 of my plants started to regenerate. All my plants were stuned for over a month in this early stage because all the roots got just after a day after every res change slimy. I took a syringe and tried to put a precise stream of water on the parts of roots that were slimy and I managed to get rid of it but it eventually got slimy again after a day or two. The conclusion: Do a water res change, clean your res with chemicals and try to get rid of the slime with a syringe or a stream of water but don't touch them with your fingers! They are very fragile. Eventually you get rid of it. And try to keep your water cool.

Get your water cooled down to avoid this in the future. For now you can run 2 to 3 teaspoons of h202 per gallon of water. Will help oxygenate and clean and disinfect your roots. Throw frozen water bottles in your rez as well. Luck and cheers
