Im growing my only plant I have left which is Big Buddhas Blue Cheese. Im growing in a 10 gallon dwc. Im using Flora Nova. Plant is about 6 weeks old in veg. Had it under CFLs. Been keeping my water temps down with 2L bottles of frozen water.
Ive noticed the rot root(didn't know at the time it was root rot) about 2 weeks ago. I thought I was just the flora nova.
I turned on my 400w MH about 2 days ago. Yesterday when I came home the plant looked horrible. checked the res and the roots were slimy brown ( looked at multiple pictures of root rot and brown slime, im 90% sure its root rot) along with foam in my res. the ph rose to 7.5. the temp in the room was 90 and 80 in the res, so im sure it was the high temps that did me in. I also hadn't changed the res in about 4 weeks.
So I took the plant out and rinsed off the roots in my sink multiple times. Now I have the plant just sitting in the sink with about 1 gallon of plain water with H202. im going to the store today to buy a 5 gallon bucket with new air hose and stones.
My question is can I use h202 or bleach along with the FlorNova? I thought I read somewhere you can do it with a organics. So I was thinking about using chemical nutes. I did try to take 3 clones but I have no clonex or anything so im hoping it works.
So please any advice to sqve this plants. ive topped it like 4 timesa already, 20+ colas and super cropped twice. it was doing so good. id hate to have to start all over. PLEASE and thanks.
ok, just went to Walmart and got a 5 gallon bucket, air stones, and air tubing. about to put my plant in it. What kind of mixed should I do? I was thinking ill just fill it up with some Phed RO water and I idk if I should go with bleach or H202. please help guys, need to get that plant in something.
I have root excel, flouralishish (could be spelling that wrong) and floranova grow/bloom. I have to get this done in the next hour.
If I don't hear anything, im just going to use plain phed RO water with a little GH root excel and I saw Granger posted this on a forum.

I have 3% so I will double this amount.

I am also new to hydro but i had a similar problem and i let my plant bubble in a h2o2 solution for ten minutes and washed the roots well under sink water.I got my problem from high temps and light leaks into the resovoir.My roots look much better now.Anyway I really hope someone else can chime in with more knowledge.Good luck bro sounds like that plants a beast.You should put a pic up.would love to see,also thats my favorite strain.

H202 no bleach.
Rinse what you can off, leave em in your sink while you THOROUGHLY clean your system. Id run a strong mix of h202 thru it get it clean...very clean.
Then aboit the only other thing you can do is a good enzyme product and then no guarantees.
This is the heart breaker of a dwc system.
Id run heavy enzymes or go sterile with h202. One or the other not both they cancel each other out h202 kills enzymes.
I reccomend cannazym but its kindy pricey others use hygrozyme and other enzyme products what ever you choose you need to run like a double dose... dont be cheap its the ONLY hope you got at this point.
Or
Scrap it an start ovee, its a very real possibility your gonna end up here anyways.
Post some pics so we can see how depressed the plants are.

Are any of these enzymes?

I also have super thrive.

Richyrich's Tea will solve this problem. Easy, cheap and effective.

The tea I prepare is simple with less than half the stuff Richy puts into his, and the ph of it is 6.1 + nutes (veg) gets around 5.8, if flowering nutes, then goes to 5.6-5.7.

Really saved my ass in my last run, take your time to read about it. If you got the slime, no h2o2 or bleach will kill it. Happen to me.

Either go with Richy's Tea or Erythromycin (I think its called something like that, its an antibiotic (really hard stuff)) but works great to clean the system and get rid of the slime.

Tea is organic, cheap and easy to use. And you an add it to your system with plants on it. Unlike the erythromycin.

I now grow tea style. If sterile goes wrong I just add tea and switch.

Plus I top off now only using tea. My tab water comes at 140ppm and after I make the tea with it it goes to 170ppm so it doesn't screw my feedings at all. Plus gives some nice N to the mix without needing any nutes (really nice for flowering) to keep the yellowing away till the end of the crop cycle.

cheers

you guys are awesome man, I appreciate yall taking the time to help me out being this is my first grow, there's lots I don't know. From everything people are telling me and stuff ive recently been reading about, tea is the way to go. But there are lots of tea recipes out there. Guess im just going to have to pick one and start from there. K+ guys.

I have a dwc bucket going and noticed I had a bit of root rot and maybe other problems . So I started using Hydrogaurd, nothaving much money I found it for a round 20 bucksor so. ithas root innocullants in it. It will turn your slimy roots into good healtht root's pretty quick. My brown roots were growing new white roots out of them in about four days and now it is starting to explode root's again. I tryed Peroxide but it was not enough.

Another thing is , it might be stressing bad from putting it right under the MH lights. Keep the light up high for a while .
