Roots won’t submerge

Meksterstarted grow question 3y ago

Roots won’t submerge. Dwc, steady ph, water at ambient. Jacks 321, Clorox. Had instant root rot in week one. Clorox got everything white.

Hello. The reason the roots won't submerge is "surface water tension". The old trick is to add some liquid dish soap. Just a few drops you don't want a lot of foam. Chuck.

Im thinking the clorox is preventing elongation. your roots like fine now so get the clorox out and add fresh water and start light on the nutes... like 200-300 ppm

Looks good to me. I would give them some time to grow if everything else is in check pH ppm. I would just keep enough water for them to be in just not to high. leave little air gap just enough water for some roots to hang in. If plant looks healthy I would say your good. Just give roots some time to recover

First time I'm using air pots. I always empty the trays with runoff water (if there is any) and I noticed the roots on the bottom side. They seem rather long? I was under the assumption they would be 'air pruned'?

NLXBB Is she Rootbound? Drinking 2 L a day in 2 Gal Airpot My NL x BB is drinking about 2 liters a day. The top leaves aren't up as often these days. They are almost always in a constant state of going up and down. Can she possibly be rootbound in an airpot? Or it's just the fluctuations of wet > dry going sooo fast every day?

Hydroponic Roots Question okay, thanks in advance! How long does it take for the roots to grow out of rockwool & into the water? I used shorter cubes this time. Does the bubbling water ever reach the rockwool, or just a level to reach the roots?

water draining too fast - slow growth Although I spray water around the stem slowly, the water drainage was too fast, just spraying 20-30 ml of water and it drained right away in 2L (half a gal) pots - watered 100-150ml Do you think there could be a problem with the roots or soil structure? She is growing so slow
