hi everybody, i've ran several hydro systems, mainly buckets. But now i've got a problem, i've lost 3 plants in the last 3 days. they look fine and heathy, i go to bed the next morning they are wilted and dying. not dryed up or anything just look like a plant that has had no water. ppms are low around 1000 to 1100, ph is 6 - 6.5, water level 1 inch up on net pot. oh and in 3rd week of flowering. any suggestions? thanks in advance

Can you give us some more info..what sort of hydro you running? water temps?

Organic Hydro · 11-19-2005, 07:48 PM

Sounds like root rot .

temps 65, lights on 70f. was using hydrozime, maybe not enough? it seems to happen on one spot of the shelf, one dies, move the next one over on it happens to the one i newly moved. it even happen to one plant that i had mycorrhizal in. EA/EN there in just bubble buckets.

Pardon my late reply ,
i kind of forgot about this post untill now , if you've had it earlier then you can be sure it was RR again , i've see people use it at 33% above the recommened dosage and it did no harm to the plants , killed the RR but quick too ! , how often are you changing your res and how many cycles of flooding do you do per day ?

i'd say make the hydrozime a part of your nutes from now on...just to be on the safe side.

Hope this helps

Peace

iv had good results using canna-zym wen experimenting with root rot..id stick with using the hydrozyme iv onlly heards good things about it..
is this a bubbler you are running? if yes. are there enough bubbles in there? you say it happened in the same place so chances are it could be lack of oxygen to the roots....
