Well cleaned everything.added hydroshield. Next day saw white roots popping out of pots. Check today got new slime. go to wash it off pots roots just fall away. Was gonna try the Bennie tea till saw how much more money I'd have to spend. Just don't have it.could have bought enough weed with what I've spent trying to fix this but was hoping for something stronger than dirt weed. Well least I don't have to worry about increasing my appetite now. Can't afford to eat now anyway. My soil backup is doing well so at least I can get something but the hydroponic had the best genetics in it soil was bag seed of unknown quality. My luck right now it'll be a male. I'm at a loss as to what to do now and struggling to find the energy to keep going. Want to Thank everyone for their help. By the way it was hydro guard not hydroshield don't know how I got that wrong.

Yea I looked but I just don't have the money , it was more than I have right now. Gonna clean it again and hit it with Clorox then peroxide then rinse well. Dip pots in strong peroxide solution and rinse well. Inoculate with hydro guard. If it happens again I'll replant in soil. That premade tea looks good and someone else had told me it was good. Tks for the continued advice.

search for metalaxyl my friend... this will kill root rot for sure... spray the leaves for early root rot and feed them with metalaxyl for late stage...100% success but this is not (bio)

Yes roots have exploded out bottom. Brown is mostly gone. Still getting slime though. I read that some ph downs can cause clear slime. So I didn't add any when I cleaned plus wanted to see if ph would stabilize. 6.25- 6.5 range right now but hasn't been 24 hours yet. Burst of growth up top. Got some more bennies on way The myco bennies. Found small pack that I could afford and they will be here Wen. Was full of slime when I cleaned but so far it's just barely got any.pulled little bit off a root this morn. Not sure if it was left on the roots from the clean. I rinsed the roots well when I cleaned. First time I've seen this kind of growth in 3 weeks. Hope is returning lol Soil plant is twice the size as hydros had wanted to keep canopy even. Could start flower on it now,it's 16 inches with many branches and a nice 4 way top. Starting to wonder if somehow I got a auto flower seed as it looks like it's got flowers on ends. Broke my good glasses and having hard time seeing for sure. What are the odds of getting one out of bag seed lol. It was very good smoke that the seeds came from with just a few seeds in a oz. Friend saved them for me. I have 2 different types going and all look different. 6 plants total. I'll let you know how the hydro guard goes adding more air today,pump I bought was defective and replacing today.

Slime gone. New roots growing. Plants exploding with growth. Zho and hydro guard cleared it up. Tks for all the help guy's. Switching to 12/12 today. That's how much they have grown in just few days. Set light 3inches from plants yesterday morning at 10:00 and one was touching at 6:00 this morning. Wow never had that kind of growth with soil.lol This was what made me want to try Dwc. Seeing the rapid turn around that is possible in a small grow if gone right. Looking into autos that flip in 65 to 70 days and yield 65 to 115 gm per plant. I could do 3 in my space and that would be enough to keep me pain free and eating. Tks again y'all

Got new problem now. How do I slow these things down lol Moved lights up 3 more inches and this morning they are touching again. I'll run out of room if this don't stop. Can raise lights 14 more inches and that's it. Well I was sad that I lost 2+ weeks growth. Now I've made up for that in a few days. This is insane. I am hooked on hydroponic now. Can't wait to get some quality seeds and see what can be done. This has been the best therapy. I almost forget how sick I am when working with the plants. Can't wait till I can try what's growing. If it wasn't for one friend I wouldn't be able to eat at all. As someone said in one of their post. Fuck Cancer!!!
