Clones from root rot plants

Hello lads, I'm from the UK and this is my first post/thread.

I have had a disastrous start with my transition from coco to RDWC.

First attempt root rot in all 10 plants at 6 weeks old from seed, binned and started again. Second attempt root rot in all 10 plants at 6 weeks old from seed.

Luckily I know where I went wrong. This RDWC is a big learning curve

In the last few days changed from a sterile unit to using Hydroguard and it seems to have helped, but they are only about 8" tall and the roots aren't great even with the new white root growth after the Hydroguard. I have decided once again going to bin them tomorrow.

These were all grown from expensive seeds so I was wondering if I could get a head start and save some money by taking some cuts.

My question is has anyone ever taken cuts from root rot plants and did it pass on to the clones. Basically is root rot systemic?

I am just worried the bacteria will spread from the roots up into the stem and into the plant itself

Many thanks

Root rot is not systemic

Thanks First time. Will take some today.

As long as you haven’t noticed any wilt it’d be fine.

I would just turn your lights down brew some Heisenberg tea (hydroguard, great white shark, ancient forest humus, black strap molasses) while you use hydroguard at double strength and then Top Feed with the tea. Should be recovered in a couple days. Add ice to your reservoir to keep temps low to slow bacterial growth till you can get those bennies brewed.

Thanks Kami. Didn't know what Heisenberg tea was so googled it and found the original thread by Heisenberg. Blimey 214 pages long.

Does this Heisenberg tea keep and how do you store it?

I just did it and they are fine! Make sure you spray the cutting down with h2o2 to disinfect to be safe.

I have successfully taken cuts from pyth plants with no issue

Cheers lads the cuts are now in the cloner. Just wish I had done it as soon as the rot set in instead of messing on with them.

Just a note I had a few different strains that became affected at the same time. Critical Orange Punch and a few others really took it hard and didn't put up much of a fight. Barneys Blue Gelato and Phantom OG on the other hand kept on going and nearly made it. I have taken the clones from these two hard knocks.
