Root rot using Botainicare nutrients?
Momma_munchiestarted grow question 8 months ago
Help! Do I have root rot? I've followed botanicares nutrient line to a T for week 3. I grow in DWC. My humidity is 65% water temp is 70, ppm 1060. Is it just due to my nutrient line being more brown colored? My first time in hydro.

if not slimy or stinky, probably just stained.

Possibly also needs more oxygen to the solution (more bubbles). Yes 1060 is to high. Also your humidity is way too high. Needs to be around %40 at all times. Don't go below %35

Probably stains from nutes if they’re colored similar.
1060 is quite high for such a small root mass. I’d consider toning that down quite a bit

That looks more like stains from the nutrients rather then root rot. Make sure you have a gap between the bottom of the net pot to the top of the water level.

Root rot?Roots are brown but don't feel slimy and give off no odour. New root growth is virgin white. Could it be discoloration from the nutrient solution or is it the dreaded root rot? pH is constant 5.9-6.1...I added 5mL/gallon hydrogen peroxide to be safe

Help with DWCHelp. 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 .

DWC - root video, h2o2 issueYet another anxiety, I hope it is nothing special. But prevention is better than cure and here you all know more than I do!
I added 10ml of 3% H2O2 inside the DWC through the control tube, after a few seconds there was a strange chemical reaction.

Is this a sign of root rot? How to save the plant?2 weeks after germination: the base of my plant's stem has a dark color which I think may be root rot. The rest looks very healthy. How can I make sure it is rot? Is peroxide/water solution really helpful if that's the problem?

Roots getting brownMy 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!
