Do you know if its OK to leave the plant in the setup while I flush/rush some plain water and H2O2 through the system? I assume the H2O2 will do some damage to the plant but if it is root rot then I want to disinfect the roots of the plant too yes? Also, do you use air stones or aeration tube...

Cheers mate, Neither of those products seem to be available in AU unfortunately. Do you think its worth getting a 20L/min pump like this one? http://www.hailea.com/e-hailea/product1/V-20.htm

Using a new air stone for one pump so I should be good for a while I hope. The eheim pump actually uses these round balls with cotton in them to produce bubbles and you can just wash the cotton. What kind of air pump have you got? looks like theres plenty of bubbles in your res! Also, any tips...

Its a 54L tub with 20L of water in it for veg and 25L for flower. I'm using 2 air pumps one which make 5L/m combined. Do you think this is not enough? There is quite a large gap between the water and the bottom of the net pot. About 4cm .

Damn your roots look super healthy lol Yeh i agree with you on the bubbler serving no purpose once the roots have hit the water. My issues is that I think I removed it too soon once only 1 or 2 of the roots had hit the water (which is quite far from the bottom of the pot) so all the roots in...

I mean the small water pump which was dripping water from the res to the top of the pot. I'm pretty sure the drooping from those pictures is from topping the plant the day before (probably shouldnt have done this). The plant is no longer drooping at all and the new growth post topping looks healthy.

Hey guys a bit of an update: I had a thorough look and think about root rot and am not convinced that my plant has it for the following reasons: The roots don't feel soft and slimy - they are not slimy and firm, even the roots with the brown on them The plant never drooped before the leaves...

Thanks mate. I'll try and remember to update as things change (hopefully for the better!) :)

I took some clearer pictures of the roots where the brown stuff is:

Hey mate, there are no light leaks as far as I can tell but ill double check. Cheers mate, How much hydrogen peroxide should I add? Is it safe to leave the plant in there while I run a hydrogen peroxide solution through the system to clean it out? Thanks for all the help guys!

You may be really high but you are seeing the picture right lol The roots are all coming through one or two holes. This may be because i removed the water bubbler too early (as soon as i saw the first 2 roots touch the water in the res).

Here is a picture of the roots and some more of the leaves: I think the brown stuff at the top of the roots is buildup from the nutrients (they seem to leave a brown sludgy residue as the addititives are very dark brown/almost black...) but that being said i'm not 100% sure. I had a thought...

Hey mate, Lights are off now but ill take some pics tomorrow and post. Not using any beneficial bacteria or anything to keep the res sterile that I know of in the house and garden range. I do have some old dutchmasters gold zone that I could use though and also hydrogen peroxide. Thanks for...

Cheers mate, EC is at 1.6 and its 3rd week of veg, do you think thats OK? I noticed today the tips of some of the new growth are getting the same problem :(

I'm only 3 weeks in and I cleaned everything with hydrogen peroxide before i started so i doubt it. I think I may have let the PH get too high at one point... Hopefully it will sort itself out in the next couple of days. Thanks for your help :)

Hey mate, thanks for your reply. Res temp is pretty stable and controlled by an aquarium cooler with a pump which turns on when temp gets too high. Res temp is set to 20 - 21 c. Room temp is set to around 25 - 27 c. Using new nutes this time - House and Garden aquaflakes and additives...

Hi :) I'm running a DWC, week 3 of veg and for the last week or so my leaves have been turning a different color and drying up. - pics The PH has been rising quite a lot i try to set it to about 5.8 but in 24 hours it will be around 6.5 or something. I'm using Home & Garden nutrients and...
