well my sealed room was working great until the other day the heat got really bad for like two days and the AC could not cope (just upsized last night to 140000 BTU) but the roots were all stinky leaves wilting and not looking very healthy. I flushed them out with fresh cool tap water twice and cleaned up stinky roots and tubs. Anything else i can do to get them to pull through ?

Also forgot to mention they are hydro in ver/per mix PH=6 EC=30 and i turned 3 of the 6 lights off as well to try and de-stress them

That's a hella way to end the year,

Have you seen the new seed catalogs? (Just in case)

Hydrogen peroxide works well for root rot as well...I used like 5ml per gallon with 3% H2O2 (what I could find at Walgreens) in straight water...Change the res every couple days and add fresh H2O2...I had rot problems early in my hydro days and found it worked great...Usually cleared up in a week or so...Just be sure to check the percentage before you use!!! Some "food grade" can be 35%...Less is better than too much

Keep your temps low and be sure to light-proof your res and your golden brother

Hope this helps
