well I have like 12 clones that neep to be transplanted. all I have is one coco coir brick. so what I need to do is hrydrate with ro water and flush till near 0 ppm them super charge the coco with calmag and little nutes with some root accelerator?
most issues in hydroculture always end up being ppm in the rez.
i understand water temp and oxygen are big issues. but if reses and rooms are hot, then nutes should be 1/2 or even up to 1/4 strength
i have had reses above 80 in some sitiaution before. with no issues if ppm is adjusted accordingly. i do not recommend this approach as it is far from optimal. but nonetheless you get the idea
good luck

Dude at 80 degrees dropping the nutes isnt going to affect any case of root rot dude. high temps cause bacteria fwiw.
dwc is one of the most forgiving systems.
i am speaking from experience. not from what i have read. its lack of oxygen not high temps that cause bacteria
pretty sure an air stone is providing all the oxygen the roots need
i did r/d for over 2 years for bc northen lights. and have done everything near and far to dwc in my tenure
kind regards

If I may, your life and plants will be much happier and healthier in Flood & Drain
It should be easy for you to covert this grow
Just get a net pot that your rots will fit into + a ~ 5 gallon tote to put the plant into
Note how soft and fluffy these roots are. Billion times more efficient at nutrient uptake

Sorry but you don't know what you're talking about good sir. It is the temperature of the water that determines that amount of dissolved oxygen that the liquid can hold in suspension. More airstones are needed at higher temps to achieve the same dissolved oxygen level you'd achieve with fewer stones / less powerful pumps at a colder temperature.
The ppm doesn't cause the root rot with DWC, the temp does by reducing the total saturation point of the oxygen in the res at the higher temperature, plain and simple.

Subculture B from GH or liquid piranna by AN work well for me you can also breew your own Richyrich's tea.
