One_bell here, newbie and need advice on RDWC and auto's for 2nd run

If it was mine I would just run it through the system and then do your change out with more peroxide till the roots clear up....after the rot is gone you can introduce life back.
Some run sterile the whole grow with the peroxide so it definitely won't hurt anything.

Thanks again for you guidance again, I might try it later today since I just ordered some 3% bottles (3x100ml). I will try this until the roots look better.

Blind leading the blind here but I think your on the right track now! Hopefully someone will chime in with more wisdom.....

Just received the hydro peroxide and prepared to two buckets, one with fresh water the other one with fresh water 7 liters and 40ml of peroxide. I took out the plats one by one, first rinsing them a few times in the bucket with fresh water and dip them in the bucket with peroxide water, leave it there 15 minutes while continiously driving the roots through the bucket and raise them to get air. The roots are starting to look a bit brighter now:





After this root spa I also added 38ml of peroxide to the reservoir. I know it will kill of my vj and Great White but is the best thing to do now I think.





Probably doing a res change tomorrow and will skip the vj and Great White and load it with peroxide. Would this be a good idea to do?

I have nothing to back up my opinion, but I would at least till the roots got back in a healthy condition.
U said b4 that it was probably root rot that hindered ur last grow, might be good to figure out how that is happening to both grows. From what I remember u have temps, rh, and ph all dialed in but yet having these issues. Like could this b happening from a bad reaction from the assortment of nutes/BB? Or do u think the absence of VJ was the culprit? I don't c how that could be though as great white is supposed to be a good BB/fungi additive. Just saying that there probably is something going on? I dunno, I'll keep watching, learning and best wishes to u to get this grow back on track!

Yeah that is something that is living in my mind rent free lol, where did it exactly go wrong, and will this be the combenation of nutrients with Great White? Hopefully someone with a lot of experience growing hydro can chime in. For now I hop to save both plants, don't know if that is too much to ask for lol

The roots were dark but I think Driver77 gave u good advice and I think you'll get it under control and back on track.

This is what I would do for sure. It will continue to kill bad pathogens while you work through the rot. After you have white roots again you can add back the life.
