yes

im not into aquaponics myself but yes you can save a plant with care. depends whats happened, viral/fungal attacks can be sorted with treatments too water and cleaning of res/pumps/stones/fedtubes etc etc.

roots are more delicate, you realy need too get a few pics of your problem and pop into the aeroponics section, these guys know alot more but will take a time answering your questions as they check themselves by elimination what could be causing problem and a remedy.

pop too areoponics section and ask those guys. try and give alotta detail eg: nuets/ppm eveything inc light times dark times water changes cleaning regime. a couple of pictures of offending problem says everything that words cannot.

Did you try yelling at it? " grow some roots bitch!" and " heal you fuck!" always seem to kick my garden in to overdrive. Or did you only apply that method here?

To better serve your demands, knowing what specific problem you are trying to solve would be advantageous to any prospective posters, but I'll bite.

I assume your roots are not "healthy white", and are in poor health, the symptom of which is discoloration. If so, a number of causes are possible. In a properly maintained aeroponic system, I would expect to see vigorous roots masses, both fibrous and feathery. The answer is yes, the roots can be returned to health from most ailments, this all depends on specific strain, ailment, progression of ailment, and environment. Without pics and/or specifics about the growing environment anything further is difficult.

Liberal doses of H2O2, thats hydrogen peroxide to you and me, you want to use the 50% food grade stuff and mix with water before applying to your reservoir, I would say use 1/3 of a liter. H2O2 will kill off bacteria which is what is causing your roots to rot.

Add One T-spoon of Peroxide per gallon of water.
Of study this:
THE 8 STEP RECUPERATION AND RECOVERY REMEDY

1. Check the roots. If they are discolored, reddish or brown, or present an unpleasant odor, you have a problem. If they are weak, soft or mushy, you have a problem. Also while checking the roots, observe the temperature of the water. If it is warmer than "luke warm" you have a problem. This problem is probably what is referred to as "root rot" or a disease known as PYTHIUM. Remove the dead brown roots by trimming them away with sharp scissors. Do not leave them in the tank.
2. Check the humidity and temperature of the grow area below the lights in the "growing zone" when the lights are on. A temperature of above 82 degrees or below 67 degrees will slow growth, but it is not a serious problem that will kill your plants. Temperatures below 62 degrees or above 90 degrees will stop growth. An extremely high temperature in the upper 90s or below 58 degrees can slowly result in death of your plants. The most efficient temps for growth are between 72 to 80 degrees. Any Humidity between 40 and 60 percent is acceptable and desirable.
3. Check the "lights off, nighttime" temperature. Most desirable is ten to 15 degrees cooler than the daytime "lights on" temperature, averaging 66 to 70 degrees.
4. Check the distance between the tips of the plant and the tip of the light bulb. If you observe yellowing or leaf curling tips, then move the lights one inch further away. A good rule of thumb if you use HID lights, is hold the soft palm of your hand at the leaf tip and see if the bulb is too warm to your hand. If you use Stealth Hydro's compact fluorescent bulbs, we recommend a distance of three or four inches for the 65 and 85 watt bulbs and 4 inches to five inches for the 105 watt bulbs. More mature plants can handle the bulbs slightly closer.
5. Check the position of your fans. Air movement is very necessary for the health of your plants, but too strong of a fan can cause wind burn. Direct your fan toward the tops of the plants and toward the lights. Never position the fan blowing strongly downward on the leaves.
6. Add 1/4 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide to a quart of water and add it to the tank of six gallons already in the tank. Wait ten minutes and then turn the water and nutrition solution pump off to prepare to drain the tank. Poor at least a cup of clean water through each grow cup, onto each rockwool cube and through the hydroton rocks.
7. Drain or pump the tank empty as possible without damaging the pump by running it dry. Add two gallons of additional clean water with 1/4 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide again and then drain it away too. Again, empty the tank as empty as possible without burning up your pump.
8. Add fresh PH balanced water and nutritional packets as prescribed. PH test it again.

The above 8 steps should repair and remedy any health problems that your plants experienced within the next two days.

You're pretty cocky for only having 7 posts. If you want people here to give you answers and remedies for something YOU fucked up, then maybe you should re-think your approach. :blsmoke:

If yu proerly clean those roots, DRAIN AND REPLINISH, you can bring an almost dead leafless plant back to life. If you still have any living leaves, you can for sure revive it. HEAL it.
