Root problem? Why and what's solve
BraveheartGeneticsanswered grow question 4y ago
Lack of oxygen in the root zone. Make sure your water is about 20 degrees Celsius. 3% hydrogen peroxide in water mix will add oxygen to roots. Adding an air stone to feed air to roots constantly is probably the best idea. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

are the roots slimey or just brown. Some Nutrient can stain your roots brown. if it is slimey then it can be caused by lack of bubbles. Water temperature above 70f can caise it. light leaks are the main causes.

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!

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?

How long before they die ?2 of them getting yellower by the day, 3 or 4 of them lost their roots under the pot and they come off very easily. Color is very dark but no slime or foam. It's too bad : I had only 2 weeks and 2 days remaining. Any idea ?

Persistent issues - wilted leaves, light-green splotches, brown rootsMy plant has these issues. I've rinsed off the roots in case it was nutrient buildup on roots, which I still believe to be the case. I have given this plant a good amount of nutrients the week before. Does this appear to be a deficiency? Any ideas?
Thanks all for responding5y ago
