Bubblicious Problems - Root rot?

I think it is root rot...

do you have airstones in each bucket, because i think it is lack of oxygen to the root area...what i see is...light brown roots, rotted off...It the bottom of that stalk darkening?

nitrozyme is the enzyme product you have on hand...cool
so that fills in for hygrozyme...for the time being.
floralicious...is similar to what to Liquid Karma, B-52, and other catalyst vit-b products...So that's cool.

with floralicious...and I will double check to make sure I am not stearing you wrong...I ck'd...I was right

I would use this mix...
per gallon.
0 grow
5ml micro
10ml bloom
10ml floralicious
mix nitrozyme according to directions...this should be well within ppm limits for the size plants you have.

both the floralicious and nitrozyme will keep your rez healthy unless you create a atmospheric problem.

the airstones are the key.


I think the one plant is fried...I think the top will follow and the sooner you make the decision to pull the plug...the sooner you stop wasting time and space on the ol girl...pitty...

since you recirculate...this is something that can spread maybe?...there is also a brown algae, I believe...

the 2nd pick...looks OK, like the water was real low and the roots near the netpot dried up at one point.

Now you have a couple options between me and snoop...

I have a couple plans for you to consider once I get answers to q's at top

lw:smokin: gotta go and roll1

well, sorry snoop...I just read your last post. I just want you to know I am not trying to disagree with you.

good lesson, moreover...here are 2 decent growers telling you 2 different things. You have to just take it all in and
"be the plant" roflmao...sorry

I know this is serious...You have to make a choice...

I'm waiting for answer on airstones?

Hey sorry about misinformation above. peace

Hey sorry about misinformation above. peace[/QUOTE]Here is right info:

I was wrong...nitrozime is not an enzyme...it is a foliar spray...sorry....so many products. most enzyme products are spelled zyme...not zime.

and something real important, that people forget about when suggesting the use of h202...It does cleanse, and you cannot use any organic products(floralicious, Liquid karma, for instance) at the same time. h202 kills all bacteria and micro-organisms good, and bad...OK. so be careful.

It is cool to use h202 with 3-part, but not pure blend pro or other organic hydro style nutrients FYI

I used h202 originally, but knew it would 'kill' organic...in your case, that could be a good thing, then come back andflush out with water for a day and replace with fresh nutes...whatever recipe or nutrient application method you choose. lw:smokin:

frickin' stoner...lol

Latewood -

AIRSTONES: Each bucket (and rez which is the same size as buckets) has one of those 5" round weighted airstone disks. The pumps were the biggest they had at the pet shop. Each runs 2 buckets. The rez has a small cheapo pump running it. I have on hand a $300-350 airpump that I could use. It certainly would add more air! :) Probably act like a fountain in there with the pressure. I really thought I had enough air though. The disk looks a bit like this https://www.shop.trilbytropicals.com...5&categoryId=8

STALK - No, the bottoms of the stalks are nice & green.

RECIPE - Should I separate the buckets from each other? Or should I use this recipe for the whole system? Maybe I should tie them all off to preserve at least the one with good roots?

"I think the one plant is fried" - Which one would that be in the picture of the 4?

Oh - So are you now recommending not adding the additives and using the H2O2?

My gut is telling me to put something directly on the roots to oxidize the crap. I wish someone was familiar with Potassium Permanganate (PP, Green Sand). I have a fine high grade of it here. It's primarily used in water treatment but has many other uses like for ponds, treating fish ulcers, new water plants, etc. It oxidizes bad stuff and leaves the good. Much like h. peroxide. It's dosed in PPM. I'm envisioning a dip in a light solution. But these are not pond plants and I'll probably find zero information on their use with this plant.

OK Late - Are you swinging more towards fresh water & peroxide like Snoop? Or do I go back to your original thought?

Should I start some more seeds? :(

Latewood - I answered your question... Now where are ya? :)

I was very busy today. No time to play with the plants. I did take a peak at the roots on the worst one (shortest roots in pic)... and I "think" I'm seeing some fresh white rootlets. I think I'll be able to confirm that in the morning. The plants themselves show more new growth.

sorry...working on website...

the h2o2 is a good call...I don't do it anymore...I use a fresh nute mixture with good humics and enzymes...

It is a hard call...nobody here wants to steer you wrong...
If I were you...I would NOT put anything directly on the rootball. Plants regenerate..all you can do now is stabalize the problem...If you see new white fuzzy roots poppin out.
Keep on growing..you will get something out of it.

and personally...I think you would be better off isolating each bucket and running them simple DWC with your airstones...that will give you more control over the finish of each plant, and isolate any problem that might spread.
Then I would probably Get a bigger nutrient reservoir, and start thinking about taking the cool parts I have and adapting system for bewtter efficency.

I'll be glad to try and help you out, and I'm sure there area few other folks, that would throw in ideas...

There are way to have buckets in tune beeter than what you have experienced. perhaps in helping you, I can learn more about those type system's

My recirculating DWC units all fill up at the same time and then drain once they reach a certain depth. the pump keeps running oxygenated fluid...

Perhaps your ph problems from bucket to bucket was due to this all being new to you.

later, sorry I missed you...had to spend some time at home (mentally that is)

Don't need addatives. To avoid root rot keep your nutes circulating and ariated with a submersable pump that has a power head. You can aim it and it sucks in air and spits out bubbles. About $30 solves all your root rot problems. Really. Also Latewood is right about the airstones and individual containers with recirculating nutes. This is one of the best ways to do it. I encorporate Latewoods method with some other stuff and I've never had a root rot problem.

Good luck with that crap. I hate problems like this, but I believe you'll get it figured out.

Latewood: Could we have a sneek peak at your website?
