How long before they die ?
Maskedcucumber
started grow question 5y ago
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 ?

Sorry to see the root rot bro. I use a product called hydroguard and that seems to help prevent or at least stop the rot getting as bad as yours.

Help with DWC
Help. Need it for DWC. Why are my roots turning brown. They just look weak and not so strong. I can touch them and know they are not healthy. Running 4 buckets with 4inch airstones. I'm nowhere near an expert. Just still learning. I've done a DWC before,never problems .

Root rot or not?
I can’t tell if this is normal discoloration or starting signs of root rot. Running Orca, Roots Excellurator silver, hydroguard and z7, res temps have drifted around 72-75f when my chiller was down for the first week, have since kept it at 68f. Would greatly appreciate some help.

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 think I had a common problems with my LSD-25: the water level. Did I have to set my water level just below the tip of the roots when they appeared? I had nice roots the 1st week, I set my water to keep the roots in the water but she looked like she drowning.

enzymes Komplete for use in DWC bucket or just for cleaning?
My biggest challenge thus far as I already killed one plant is keeping the water temp cold enough. 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.
