HI everyone
so Iv got my first grow on the go and all is going well until I had a good look around my system tonight and noticed a couple of problems!
Im using an 8 pot flood and drain system with a 70 Litre res.
Im growing 8 flying dutchmen and there about 15 inches tall now.
Im about to switch to 12/12 in the next couple of days.
I noticed that the roots are all growing out the bottom of the pots and area all around the tray the pots sit on.
some of the roots have found there way into the res.
Iv noticed that some of the roots I can see have turned dark brown and have died.
Iv also noticed some slime dripping out of part of my feeding system!
I dit think to much of it as I just though the roots that have found there way out have just died off.
I decided to do some research on this situation and found root rot is probable cause.
I have no pictures of the problem at the moment but will look to get some up if need be.
So my questions are:
How fast will this spread and what sort of damage will this do to my girls?
How can i fix the problem fast?
This is my grow journal if anyone would like to take a look.
