I ran into root rot or algea my last two tries using hydroguard at first until getting root problems than switched to sterile. Both times the plants got beyond repair very quickly. I kept temps down with chiller and everything was in the sweet spot but still failed quickly.

In my cloner which now has 4 left over plants in it, incase my system fails again, which would no longer be considered clones. They're currently 12" with roots 2 times as long with weeks of root pruning. For weeks I've had them in 75 degree water with pool shock and low ppms. No water change for weeks, no fan, no heat, no chiller not one thing that should keep my plant healthy exactly the opposite you would think.

Why is temp such a big beal, aeration and all that other shit if these plants are blowing up in an enviroment that should be the perfect storm for contagion?

Algae problems means light leaks and root rot is low dissolved oxygen content in your root zone. The Root zone will suffocate and the roots will start releasing a chemical making the root zone ready for phytium to take over.
Just google it lol.

My water temperature is 66 degrees but my root zone is 71 degrees.

I hope it helps

Unfortunately its brown algea that im dealing with which seems to thrive in no light, high silicate, high nutrient water sources. Basically the perfect environment for the brown algea to thrive.

I've been reading about it and it seems to be a difficult problem to deal with. You can see the brown algea connecting to roots as they break free because the chlorine.

Hydroguard is a Bacillus bacteria that will be killed by the chlorine in the tap water

remember lights leaks = algae
Root rot = low oxygen in the root
zone, root rot feeds from dead roots.

If is really advanced, start over again and try to figure out what’s causing the rot. When it happened to me I did try to fix it with no luck.

Good luck

Here is my system. I keep room temperature at 73 degrees with a mini split. At this temperature it keeps my root zone in check and my vapor pressure deficit (vpd) in the sweet spot. But this is what it works for me in Florida.841BAFCB-E793-48DD-AF0D-699AA5990B60.jpeggood luck.

I tried running tap in my main system with shit loads of hth or hydroguad and both won't work with tap. Draining system now and refilling with distilled until i can get my non cooperating RO filter back up and running.

Luckily my system only holds 20 gallons max. When it comes down to it the only different between my cloner is tap vs. distilled. There is zero algea in my cloner with tiny light leaks and brown algea in my main system with zero leaks.

If you saw where our deinking water came from you would wonder why i ever tried.

yeah since you know that adding chlorine runs it sterile you could have deducted tap water would kill your hydroguard lol? so confusing!!!
