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.

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.Roots.

Root rot even using a little water. Can't help It!In my second try I still had troubles with root rot by overwatering issues. This time I waited even 3/4 between waterings (half liter for plant) but soil never ever dried properly. Next time I'll use Light mix, grow shop pots and practice patience. What else do you advice peep?Week 16

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

Rotten rootsCrescita 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 compromessa5y ago
