I have a aeroplonics system roots look brown are they rotting?

[B.CPower]

Some Details: I have a aeroplonics system ezclone setup. I use Technaflora B.c products currently from there kit i got from the store. There is some organic mixtures in the vitamins. Temperature is a rough 75 -67 Humidity is around 60% 400HPS bulb I'm wondering if the brown in my roots is anything I should worry about.There are some signs of red on the stem of some leaves. Anyone help me out before my harvest is down the drain?

roots look rotted but it could just be stained what the water temps?

Looks like the organics are going nuts in the NFT section of your setup there. If it's rot the roots should come off very easily, smell nasty. If the roots are strong I'd cut out the organics and dump the rez and wash out the trays as best you can.

My drunken friend whose its at over did nutes and did straight 6 nutes with adding no water so i know there a little burnned. I put some Hydrogen peroxide in there already.The temp is at 70 for the water. These plants should be going into the flowering stage soon so should i just leave them in veg so they can heal then flower or flower anyways?

It looks to me like the roots are sitting in water, like DWC. Aeroponics isn't meant to soak the roots in water

its supposed to spray water roots arent ment to stay in water 24/7. I owuld try to flush the roots to get out excess nutes your drunk friend did and veg for another week for healing time. also you might want to consider putting them in sooil or an nft table with rockwool and net pots.

There in Rockwool and net pots. What are the roots not suppose to reach that far? How would i fix that problem? They do get sprayed into the system the roots just follow the flow of the water while it drains back into the bucket so most of the roots are being sprayed 5 minutes off 1 min on rotation. The roots looked fine when they were in the bucket, after my friend burned them is when it started.

Thats not AERO its DWC,Definitely looks like root rot,organics and DWC = root rot.Check out the Infirmary theres a sticky on it."stange slime buildup on roots.If it is sorry to say you may be dead in the water its a bitch to get rid of and they wont make it threw flower .If its a strain worth keeping get some cuts.
Tell your buddy youll break his hands if he touches your girls again
What are the roots not suppose to reach that far? How would i fix that problemAero uses sprayers in 1 tray that constantly drains into a res so the roots are not sitting in your nute solution,check out threads by pirate you'll see what I mean

 

[B.CPower]

Well you see the sprayers ez clone ones are in the system look in the boxes of my setup that holds roots and sprayers how am i suppose to stop the roots from growing out of there area.It sprays and drains so your no help.

 

[jm420]

Sorry man I didnt fully understand your system R the ends of your PVC wide open to drain?or are the capped with an ebb and flow type of drain? air stone in res ?

 

[B.CPower]

there's a type of cap and there's enough for it to drain already checked that. They get enough oxygen i think through the root ball on the net roots and the acidic water which is used in aeroplonics 5.5 ph. The System is PVC tubing with ez clone sprayers 2 for each plant.

 

[dtfsux]

You need to keep the roots out of the rez, maybe some screening.

Maybe raise the pipes so they drain faster.

I would cut off the slimey roots, and change the water daily (just use water for a few days) until the roots improve

I would also add an airpump

 

[jm420]

I was thinking some kind of screen as well ,Maybe some florasheild,hydro gaurd or possibly physan.for the rot.
Has it infected the whole system or just roots in the res?
