root rot

hey all, I have a buddy who is using straight compost (little amendments added) and they did not do a good job of aerating with additional perlite or chunk perlite or anything. I believe he has a root rot issue as there has been lots of wilting (2 plants have been killed off) and he is also...

Hello fellas, I am experiencing severe problems with an indoor plant. Basically this is my second time growing weed, so I consider myself a total newbie. Expert opinion needed! Started with two plants, a sativa and an indica-dominant, and veg stage went great, with plants growing tall and...

Basic info: DWC w/ top drip Res temp - 23C / 73F Nuts: 2000PPM general hydroponic Supplement: 2tsp/gal HydroGuard 2 large airstones Roots do not feel slimy at all and no smell. The color of my roots is kind of surprising. That being said, the General Hydroponic Micro is very brown. Is this...

Okay so I have a homemade aerocloner had 4 clones in for about 3 weeks nice long white roots then BAM over night what looked to be BLACK algae? Suffocating all my beautiful roots, also black particals floating on the top layer of water and clinging to the sides of the bucket walls.(looked like...

I've Been growing a number of years in hydro and for some reason growing in this house I have had crazy bad bacteria blooms in my Resevior. If you are in the same situation or have had the same situation in the past you know how crazy frustrating bacteria can be. I'm currently using a flo n gro...

i just got new clones...4 Pineapple Express, 3 Gorilla Glue, and 1 granddaddy purple. This is the first time I've received clones in "root pouches" and have narrowed down my issues (so I think) to two things: PH fluctuations or Root Rot. My Water is well water and I always let it set out for...

Hi guys. This is my 2nd time running into this issue and the last time I said screw it and transferred my DWC plants into soil. I want to figure out what this shit is. I have 2 autoflower plants in a 12 gallon DWC. I use HydroGuard to control bacteria but every time after a couple weeks this...

NOTE: I was told great white was useless and a waste of money in DWC/hydro. This is my 2nd grow and my 1st time using great white. My last grow was slow and steady with hardly any roots until week 2/3 but now this is 8x times the roots I had my 1st grow and the best part is its 10$. It's been...

The following shots are from inside my first and only grow box. I scavenged an old 18"x18"x54" 4 drawer filing cabinet for the heart of the project. I spent about 4 months tinkering/building/converting it...I kept staring at it; thinking of more efficient ways to use it before I placed any...

So my have been flourishing since I sorted the feeding schedule out, but one problem - root rot. I've been putting ice packs under the bucket to keep it cool, tried lights off for 24 hours, checked for light leaks, scrubbed the reservoir, boiled it, bleached it, changed the air stone and line...

I've been waiting for my buds to harden up and get bigger but now I'm starting to think I've went past the right time to harvest. I feel like they are becoming more leafy and less dense with time, is that normal if you wait too long? They are also having lots of problems; my plants seem to be...

Hey, my recent grow is mango kush. it's week 5 and the trichs are easily 50-70 amber more like 80%, accept 1 of the 6 plants is at about 55% amber. Has anyone else experienced this strain flowering very quickly, or know of any factors that attribute to strains flowering faster than normal? I'm...

Hi all, I apologize in advance for the extremely lengthy post. And I did scour all forums (this and others), books, etc. as much as humanly possible before creating this post. I don't want to be one of those lazy people just asking questions when the answers can easily be found. I'm a first...

Hey guys, I have a question about reservoir problems. I have one of my girls in a 5-gal DWC res going on week 7 of vegging. I'm using tap water with starting ph of 6.0, ppm of 25. Strain is Northern Lights, nutes/additives are: GH Flora series - 1 tsp/gal GH CaliMagic - .5tsp/gal Botanicare...

H2o2 - Great use for DWC and hydro, I use it as a disinfectant for buckets, clogged air tube or stones. Recently had brown spots on roots, sprayed lightly and brown went away and all new root growth was white and vibrant. Neem Oil Extract - Got this at walmart after some aphids started...

will hydro guard and cannazym used together help me get rid of my root rot? I also have voodoo juice, tarantula, and piranha by advanced nutrients. Are these safe to use with the other two products I ordered?
