I am a little unsettled about the settling also.
Teas drive me crazy with the scum ring of all the shit I wanted around the bucket~!

next time i add it i'm going to try mixing it in a jug a couple days before and siphon from the top like a wine jug.

The roots are starting to look different:

The left looks darker then the right one, left:

What should I do now? Is the left one still savable if I get some hydroguard?

 

[One_Bell]

I do have voodoo juice from the AN starterkit (and the rest of it) laying around, should I add it? (Unfortunately Hydroguard is not available in my country)

Ufta, that does not look good So the darkness started near the netcups? How far do u keep the bottom of ur cups to the waterline? Also, u r using hydroton for the grow media? If so, do u fill the cups to the point of over spilling? I'd b willing to bet that is rootrot as u probably have already figured out. Hydroguard is supposed to b good at reversing it but I have no clue how far into rootrot it will help.

I don't think voodoo would hurt as it's the uk alternative for hydroguard

Unfortunately the reason I think my last grow went downhill at the end. At that time I switched over to the Terra Aqutica nutrients without voodoo juice and could not acces my plants buckets anymore because of the under canopy lighting and scrogg net... Now it all makes sense to me.

Ouch...yeah they look worse. I think there are methods for reversing the damage using peroxide but I've already showed my stupidity enough on this thread so hopefully one of the smart guys can help
I kept thinking those roots were progressively getting worse.
Is this a not enough myco thing? or should there be something else in there? @Stoneyluv @Observer ?? I had my great white container dug out and everything...now I'm scared lol

I don't think that's the case as he is using great white I believe. Maybe the extra stuff in the great white combined w his nute solution caused a bad reaction? I will show my stupidity though I'd use that voodoo juice, those roots look terrible

 

[Skinnypuppy80]

Also, he mentioned he stopped using the voodoo juice around the same time he experienced similar results on his last grow. I very well could be wrong, probably am

H2O2

maybe try that again first, if it continues getting worse, maybe reset that plants bucket, h2o2, and then add ur BB again AFTER the h2o2 has had time to break down, doesnt take long, minutes.

i use 34% h2o2, at 5ml per gallon.

you may want 3% at 5ml per gallon. start small and work up first.
kill the anerobic bacteria and tickle the roots with oxygen.


its throwing out new roots uptop trying to save its self.


that brown mass have a slimy appearance to it or feel?

i suspected it was a root system issue, plant isnt uptaking nutrients in an ideal environment for it.

something could of killed them, maybe he didnt use enough, maybe there was not much of a healthy colony on that plants root system to start with, not sure.

cant say its water temperature and O2 related just yet because he has a chiller right? and if its bubbling thats enough for o2.
