How does it look?

Badbreathstarted grow question 22d ago

I found out that the Brown mushy was the baccterria from voodoo juice advanced nutrients. So i washed the roots and changed water. And didnt add any new voodoo juice, Does it look okey now or do i still need silver bullet root?

Your roots look much cleaner and healthy now! If you were dealing with root rot, plain water won't fully kill off the microscopic bacteria in the tub. Using Silver Bullet Roots is a solid move right now to sterilize the system and prevent it from coming back. Just remember the golden rule of hydro: choose either a completely sterile reservoir using Silver Bullet/H2O2, or a beneficial bacterial system with Voodoo Juice. Never mix them together because the sterilizer will instantly kill off the good microbes. Also, keep an eye on your water temps and try to hold them around 18-20°C to permanently stop root rot from returning.

Hey grow buddy... To start with, I would try it this way, and if the problem comes back, I would use Silver Bullet Root... Good luck, grow buddy.😎

Your roots look way cleaner now! Plain water won't kill all bacteria, so using Silver Bullet Roots is a smart move to sterilize the system. Just don't mix it with Voodoo Juice—sterilizers kill beneficial microbes. Keep water temps at 18-20°C to prevent root rot!

hi.... you did exactly the right thing! 👍 I would first give just pH-adjusted water for a few days and then slowly start fertilizing again...... Especially not too much water! I don't think you need Silver Bullet Root....... But I would check the roots daily just to be safe.... Fingers crossed for you..... Good luck, Growmie 😎

Since you already did 'something', i'd wait to see if it worked before doing more. If you just used plain water, still might want to spray with some weak h2o2 or your silver bullet root stuff but don't double dip on a disinfectant treatment until you see the first application's results. the answer is based on whether or not the slime regrows... Staining without slime or stink is usually from the fertilizer. turning a little tawny isn't a major concern. organic material added to the reservoir will rot, which is generally bad for hydro. That's not quite the same as everything that falls under the "organic" marketing term. it's not the same as the term from chemistry. The marketing version is not a scientific term.
