what exactly dose the h202 do

Click to expand...

H2O2 adds oxygen to the water...pythium (causative agent of your root rot) are generally anaerobic (they don't like Oxygen). So not only is small amounts of H202 good for your roots insofar as oxygen is concerned, it also kills off microbes.

The latter is the main reason why you do not want to use too much H202 with organics. It can possibly kill off the good microorganisms as well. Oxygen is a powerful bacterial static .

whats strange to me is my roots were brown befor i even started flowering.......

also i just finished the h202 bath and my roots look the same

I would draw a new h2o2 bath for her, and while she's sitting in it massage the roots very gently to try and remove that built up rot. I don't think that your going to see any improvement in the roots color/health though because the plant is dead. It is going to still mature, so just watch those crystals, but your not going to see any new growth on it anywhere, height, weight, or roots. If you wanted to, you could just switch over to a clean water solution or use clearex in your res, ph balance it, and start your plants flush, after the h2o2 bath. It's not going to take up anymore nutrients, because the roots are dead.

H2o2 bath, clean water in your res (or Clearex), let em sit for 4-5 days (til trich's turn amber), then chop her down.

What color is your res container? I got me some black ones, and although they absorb light, they reflect heat, which helps keep my small res (7gal) right around 68f with me doing nothing. Not only that, but black buckets reduce your chances for algae, or bucket slime, that gross stinky shit the lives on your buckets walls. Might want to look for something darker than what ya currently got.

This is just my 2 pennies though.

At least it's not bud rot, as far as I know you don't smoke the roots....

Hygrozyme. Get some.

ok so my buds r going to mature in a 5 day or so?

i shoud flush now

im confused
so the root rot killed her (shes dead) but the buds are not only still going to mature but there guna mature like now at 5 weeks flowering???

Well i'm no plant bilagist, but I gess the plant will put the last of it's enagy into trying to making buds, in the hope of reproducing.

My root rott looked WAY different than yours. If your plant isnt wilting, and looks okay, then just do the H2O2 bath, change and clean the res really well while that is soacking, and put it back in... business as usual.

Are your roots slimey? It seems to me that the plant will tell you what the problem is, Dont panick and "chop her down", that's just assinine.

Post up some fresh pictures of the plant. please.

Pythium is just a general term for lots of root diseases, Im sorry to hear about the plant but i diddnt expect you to be able to save it when it was that bad off but there was no harm in trying. I am pretty sure your plant will not mature anymore, you can keep the buds but the high will be minimal, i would suggest just throwing them in with some trim and make some butter or hash and learn from your mistakes so your next plant will thrive. If you would have caught the root rot when it started would of been an easy fix. Roots in general should be white, some nutrients will color the roots but the new root growth will still be white until they are dyed by the nutes. Best to keep roots at the right temps with a good clean rez and no light and plenty of oxygen.

First I ever heard of this black reflecting heat thing. I got a navy blue nearly black straw hat and if you wear it in the hot summer with the sun shining..it will flat cook your brain. Had a pair of black deck shoes that burnt my feet off when I went fishing one day. Whut have you been smoking? I will take two bags. Thanks.

pics from today

dont even chop that plant, take some of the preventative measures that some here have offered you, but take caution to not overdo it.

Your plant doesnt show signs of dying... aka leaves drooping, and an all around sick look.

I'm no expert, but do NOT chop it just yet, let it mature and you'll probably be fine.

There are always alot of doomsayers, but seriously.... dont be so quick to do drastic shit, just listen to what you think makes the most sense, give it a try, and watch how the plant reacts. i've dealt with root rott and my plants looked like dog shit, they drooped their roots were starved, and full of slime (preventing oxygen to the roots) ... I mean giant slimey blobs.

Ride this one out, and monitor it closely, keep your PH in range, and if you're using chemical nutrients, buy some horticultural or food grade H202 and just follow the instrucions.

I hope your plant pulls through and that you enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Good try man, dont give up.

i got some clearex today should i flush her?
even if i dont chop her just give her a flush......

also got a micrascope at radio shack 60-100x 10 bucks
but im not shure whats amber?
pluss its hard to use....
anyone use one befor? if so any pointers

this is amber:

Correct......

how do i use that microscope?
i cant get a clear image

The microscopes are a pain in the ass.... well.... mine is anyway. I have to put the thing RIGHT on the leaves to get a clear picture. Maybe you can take a leaf off, take it to a well lit room, put it on a flat table on a white piece of paper or something, and put the magnifier right up to it.

experiment with it a bit, you'll get it.

I use that same scope i cut off a small leaf with lots of trichs put them on my black tray and then put the scope on them. works well but is a pain in the ass to get focused until you get used to it.

This solves all the problems. I set my res at a lower temperature as when it mixes with my res the temp comes out to about 63-65F. I only run the res while the lights are on. I find the res stays below 70 after lights out!
Worth the money.

h202 killed my plants... I dont recommend it to anyone. Start with a microbe regime and stay with it through out the grow. You use it all the time you wont see root rot (unless you have light leakage into the res).
