yesterday i decided to use 1 tsp of rosemary essential oil and some dish soap in 5 gallons of water to treat the root systems of plants in RDWC for root aphids. for 30 minutes each plant sat in this solution and it definitely cleared most, if not all of the aphids out. everything was fine by the time i went to sleep.
problem is, today i checked the room and they are all seriously wilted. tops hanging over like i supercropped, lower branches drooping and aside from the treatment, i can't think of anything that would be wrong.
the roots definitely don't look as healthy after the treatment. sort of brown so i added some h202 to keep things clean.
is there a chance the treatment seriously damaged the root system? i changed the system out and started with fresh nutrient solution at about 550ppm, up from 350 where i was seeing slight deficiencies.
pH fluctuates between 5.9 and 6.1 most days. only running maxibloom and general hydro's cal-mag. any insight?
