Root Rot 101- Myths Debunked

[Japanfreakier]

Yes more things in the mix means there's more to think about. I still want to know if fire really burns though.

In, and of it'self, no.

Aloha, JF,

Actually, it does not.
Burns da hell out of anything in close proximity, though.

Glad I could he'p

one more myth down, thousands to go.

 

[DHF]

Additives that`ve been time tested and proven to "stave off" root rot without being able to control higher rootzone temps seems to me not something else to think about , but rather a blessing till bottom container temps can be remedied in a "normal" dialed hydro setup......

Now we got 2 trolls in the mix......yeah....fire burns......yuk yuk...

DHF......

 

[Japanfreakier]

You're a troll DHF, there I said it, it's out, you're a troll.

 

[DHF]

LMFAO......Ninny Ninny Boo Boo........I`m rubber and you`re glue , all that bounces off me sticks ta you......

JF......Grow up dewd......You really discredit yourself too regularly..........

I grow tired.......DHF....

 

[Japanfreakier]

I wasn't throwing insults there buddy, you got that covered. So seriously how about you just ignore me for a change and get over the fact that I called you out on silly advice? I know it really really pissed you off, but get over it.

 

[bendoslendo]

IMO JF and DHF are currently some of the best regular poster's on the site, and their bickering is the only thing that detracts from them both. Now stop thread-jacking this groundbreaking topic. On to breaking new ground...

Coming soon, 10Kw sealed room with CO2 featuring imadoofus style solo cup in turkey pan systems. Should I use blue solo cups for veg, then transplant to the red ones for flower?

 

[DHF]

I don`t give "silly advice" , just solid experience on shit I`ve fucked up and made mistakes on over the yrs and overcame for optimum results.......

How bout YOUR attitude Mr wondering if fire burns in 2 separate posts because you were ignored in the first as should`ve been......

Please......Doofus is lookin better and better compared to your shit JF......

.....DHF.....

You were giving advice on walmart bags you have never used yourself. I also saw you giving advice on aero-cloners (although if you were honest you'd admit you only went to that thread because you saw my handle and you wanted to troll me again and throw more insults) maybe I missed where you used aero-cloners, saw your other method of cloning though. Experience eh? Maybe your experience covers things you've never tried, mine only covers things I actually do.

We're still waiting on the pics from this experiment which I think he claimed would not only survive but flourish.

 

[imadoofus]

sorry, this experiment was trashed months ago. wanted to give serious seeds feminized a go, posted new grow thread!

lol, PROPER dwc, please stop by and check it out ; )

 

[DHF]

Gave "warnings" about God only knows what WalMart bags were dyed/color impregnated with since all the offgassing and toxic leaching into hydro setups has come up lately in total "Crop failure" ....

You , for whatever reason , seem to think that anything you post gets you kudo`s/recognition , when in actuality , only shows your ignorance .........time and again.......

Please....DHF........

 

[Japanfreakier]

How can you bring up experience and then "god only knows" in the same conversation? No need to answer.

BENDO

i can take anything, but dont ever question my grammer. then, its personal. and i dont own a thesaurus, i make people buy directionaries. i just read obssesively. truth is addictive.

exude- ex·ude (g-zd, k-sd)
v. ex·ud·ed, ex·ud·ing, ex·udes
v.intr.
To ooze forth.
v.tr.
1. To discharge or emit (a liquid or gas, for example) gradually.
2. To exhibit in abundance: a face that exuded self-satisfaction.

and its not plant physiology- its plant pathology. but, welcome to this thread, give me a brief moment to answer other questions and imagettoyou ; )

I'm not going to get in the middle of this firing squad: but this quote is funny! "I can take anything, but don't ever question my grammar" it's true, doofus is very well written, I'll give him that.

This is not very good growing advice and I wouldn't take it as gospel. But, the fact is he's not asking anyone to. If he wants to grow poorly that's his prerogative. It's sad to see derogatory statements over something so benign. If this is bad information: enlighten him, don't chastise him.

With this being said, maybe you guys shouldn't be so harsh, I mean..... karma right? I'm pleased at how well Doofus is taking this. New or veteran, Young or old, closet or commercial; we are all growers here.

OK, I'll get out of the cross fire now.

 

[buddin_904]

lol this is a like the only little drama situation in my life so ill chime in once again....

numerous posters with actually correct statements have tried to steer doofus in the right direction....however he consistiently ignores veteran advice and keeps on posting updates about how hes not getting root rot.....this thread is just sooo stupid....im waiting and waiting for some mod to come and delete this!

 

[buddin_904]

perhaps his algae laden roots are protecting him from root rot???? JUST SOME CRAZY guess i thought might be a cause of him not getting root rot...but who knows...."the project was scraped months ago" and probably from ineviatable root rot LOL....its easy for someone to lie to your face and its a trillion times easier for people to lie online!!!

 

[bendoslendo]

imadoofus seems resistant to enlightenment. many tried before things got negative.

Anyway, I think he loves it. Check out who bumped this thread after 1 1/2 months of it being dead. Won't speculate as to why...

 

[Japanfreakier]

Well there are some funny moments.

 

[imadoofus]

I've read the thread and it does't make perfect sense. I still stuck on which myth you think you've debunked. I can't honestly remember every hearing myths about Root Rot being caused by light, heat, or low oxygen levels. I've only heard that the cause of the root rot, Pythium, is more likely to take hold in Anaerobic conditions outside of a certain temp range. Light in the res brings algae which is competing for food. No myths to debunk.

The only real assertions you've made is that its the additives causing the root rot, and root rot is normally added to a res, correct? OK, lets clear this up, root rot is cause by pythium, not additives. Pythium is a waterborne pathogen which is usually spread by inadvertent contamination, think food poisoning. The water or wet component, i.e: buckets, pumps and hoses, etc. is the contaminated source other than plant material from an infected plant.

The real doosy is the turd of an experiment with a asinine conclusion that got you laughed out of the building and you're still trying to defend the work as legit.

thank you for taking the time to read the entire thread.

water, whether tap or r/o, is not sterile. some amount of plythium is ever present, in reference to your food poisoning analogy, its all about not providing bacteria optimum conditions to reproduce past the threshold of the plants ability to stave off infection.

take a steak and leave it out to ambient temps for a few hours, it starts to decompose. leave it in the deep freeze, good months.

weak roots, as a direct results of additive alchemy, low d/o or extreme temperatures, are exploited by the plythium and then spread. this, however, doesnt mean you could take a sample of infected, decaying roots and place into a healthy plants res and that plant would be afflicted also. its not just the plythium, but what caused the plythium.

my only argument is stating that the boundaries of whats acceptable are much more forgiving than once thought. and for what its worth, use the search option and read for yourself opinions regarding root rot in hydro.

seacrest out.
