I've had some cuttings develop root rot in a bubbler with superthrive. They survived after I cleaned them and the system, using only water.

If it's root rot, it's probably because the water isn't aerated enough, or there's light getting in.

Clean off any jelly you see on the roots; trim if nescecary. Replace reservoir with weaker nutrients.

All I know :confused2:

Wishing you luck!

Hey that's too bad the girls are in bad shape. You might still be able to save them though, or at least a few. That looks to me at first glance like they are drowning.

Given that it is a UC, I would make absolutely positive that you don't have blockage somewhere and that they are getting plenty of aeration. As you probably already know, in hydro, if there is not sufficient aeration in the water the plants will drown, especially if it is an enclosed system.

The fish tank smell makes me think there is a disease or chemical imballance that is causing some kind of rotting. I would definitely flush the whole system out, run a fresh round of water with a little H2O2 for a couple hours, then flush again and then go light nutes for a few days and see what happens. If they hold their own you can bump up the nutes.

I would also verify that the PH meter is working and reading correctly as it sounds like something is way off chemically. Hope for some healing Mojo for ya

Ok. What's the PPM? Thinking they might be hungry. It's flood and drain right? Aeration of the water is irrelevant if your still flooding. You still on that same schedule you and Stoneybud were running? Weird your having issues. Just been doing it too long. IDK. We can only guess what's wrong.

ello hushpuppy..
well im not too sure if there drowning..your probaly talking bout the thai on the left hahahaha yeah they dont look too good...

actually as we speak im flushing the system with H2O2... also got some RO water to use in the res..
and i actually run ebb n flow.

as for my PH meter seems to be workin fine i use it for my nutes for my host plants..

once again thanx man..

WHat have you been running for nutes and lighting?
Feed schedule, room temp and Rh all things can help to isolate yr problem?

 

[SimonSays]

from the pics im seeing a tent grow ? 5 gallon bucket set up you said ebb + flow Pvc pipe fed and drained, but it looks like your buckets have tops on them, im wondering how yr roots are getting air? or maybe they arent getting enough. what medium in bucket?

how goes it simon..
yes im a tenter.. there actually 3gal pots and yes theres lids with net pots in em... air comes in threw net pots ...

river rock and hydroton fills the buckets up to the base of the net pots.. well just under....

and me being ebb i get most of my air from the circulation of water from my res..
i run a 600w dimmable which is switched down to 400w..
rh 43
temp runs between 70-76

Interesting set up, all your parameters sound right on, the droopy leaves is usually symbolic of either too much or not enough water, the yellowing and burt leaves looks like A ph issue The fish tank smell definitely sounds like mildew, all things im sure your aware of. Looking at the pics id side on the dry side rather than too much water, the plants look dry to me. Definitely flushing your systm out with some h2o2 " 5 to 10 ml per gallon" would be my first step. id would also try filling my bucket the rest of the way up to top with hton and lose the bucket tops, let the light help dry that medium out and get more air to my roots, and help combat that fish smell "mildew"with more air. No reason to cover em like in DWC unless your roots are exposed to the light. IMO good luck hope you get it figured out

i think i have mentioned this alread but not too sure.. the reason i went to the top hats is because when i built the system i put the over flow to close to the top.. so there is 1" of medium b4 the water line..

so light hits the roots n water which does me no good...
and as for air goes.. they get what they need during flooding and pull in fresh storage air when it drains threw the top hats..

thanx for pop in and tossing ideas out.. but like you said she sounds like everythign is in its place but for some reason it doesnt seem to be..
