How long before they die ?
Maskedcucumberstarted grow question 4y 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 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?Leaves. Curl down
