So since i put molasses in my hydro mix for a couple days il i realized what a bone head move it was (not to mention after a lot of posting about it) my roots are really beat up and scraggly....i read one guys post from a while ago that said molasses gave him root rot and within a few days his plans were toast...i watch mine like a hawk so i caught the problem before it was fatal to my plants but it (the molasses) seemed to take out all of the thinner roots...like stripped them right off...see it got all slimy and i rinsed off the roots really good but the moilasses had deteriorated the roots pretty badly so now all thats lef is the thicker roots, the roots are still just as long bu no as thick and no nearly as many wispy thin roots.....the plants look ok other than a few yellow leaves which sometimes happens in the second half of flowering right?.....i put a halof tsp of rooting powder in to my res water to try to get them to come back.....im 4.5 weeks into flower...what should i do??? Will this set me back a week? HHHHEEEEELLLLPPPPP Please answer all questions pretty please

I don't know what the answer is, as I grow in soil. I think what you've done already is on the right track but again no experience in hydro. At the very leastyou know you'll never do this again. Good luck and return of the Jedi

why would you put molasses in your res??

you defiantly hurt your harvest thats for sure

i would say change your res water add your powder some light veg nutes for a little extra n and 8 drops of clorox bleach per gal to oxidize the remaining roots good luck with your grow man i hope everthing works out
