How long before they die ?
Maskedcucumber
started 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.

Roots getting brown
My 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!

What’s up with these roots?? They don’t seem rotten but they definitely have some trama from over nutrienting them. Any help? I’m adding hydro guard and root rapid start this week to combat and bring these seedlings back to life. Any help is awesome! Thanks growmies

Is this root rot, could it be an excess of nutrients? How can I fix this from happening.
I have some root issues, I recently upped the PPM in my tank, and since then my roots have started going very brown. PPM was at 900 when this issue appeared, so i reduced and is around 690 Ph is 5.8, - OUTDOOR DWC Photos are before and after I cleaned roots.

Root Rot?
Is this root rot? I have fixed my temps in the last 4 days. I am already using H&G Roots Excelurator. Is Hydroguard better or should I use both? I also tried fixing light leaks. Any other suggestions?

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.

Persistent issues - wilted leaves, light-green splotches, brown roots
My 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 responding

Hey Guys, So I've been putting house and gardens amino treatment and root accelerator gold into my res and now I'm paranoid I have root rot. res is hella cold at 63 usually and they don't seem to be slimy aside from the gunk on them that I think is those additives. Is it normal?

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.
