Oh boy... root rot for sure. H2o2 29% from NutriLife is what you use. Not that store bought 3% shit. Your water temps need to be around 68 or lower.

I thought running a benny would stop root rot

adding rotting shit to a clean res can cause rot. esp if res temps are over 65f...

i'd take cuts and start over. you'll do better, with better outcome, and faster than trying to fix that (which probably won't make it anyway).

Not a terrible idea. Fill the aero cloner and gives you time to completely sterilize the hydro system.

How much do use cuz or how do i use it? I'm not sure how much water is in my ribs anymore when I did my res change I used 30 gallons but I'm almost sure it's a lot less than that now but I also don't know where or how to even guess how much water is in my res how would you do it

What would yall do if you were in my shoes how would you clean it or try to clean it

A 5 gallon bucket to the bottom of a met pot is just over 3 gallons. And you use 3ml/gal. Instructions on the bottle.

Ugh i fukn kno don't remind me.. i got plenty plants tho lol so im not really stressing it.. this is my first hydro i built so i expect bumps in the road

You will get it figured out bro. At least you wasn't depending on it. Peace out Bare
P.S. I wander why it affects some and not all. Don't you have a 8 bucket system with 50 gallon res. How many plants are affected ?

I decided to try pool shock this round vs. hyrdroguard in all my past runs. So far, thing are looking great, only about 2 weeks into veg though.

About how much do you use per gallon

I took 1.00 (one) gram of shock and mixed with 1 gal of water. This is now my concentrate. I then use 5ml of concentrate per gallon to treat my system. It's a 40 gal system, so when I change out the water, I use ~200 ml of the concentrate.
