where can i get a water res chiller

google it.

they are in the 250-600 dollar range tho.


i told you that solution was very expensive!

Put some reflective material on top of your rez to bounce light off of it to help keep temps lower. That will help some what but 85 is insane.

Your Roots Should Be White. Drop Ice Packs In Your Rez Till Temps Come Down. Get Some Hygrozime. Change Water Out Weekly. Get Airstones, The More The Better. Those Roots Are Scary Looking.

is it root rot?

if so is it bad?

Yes

Yes

Do you have an air pump in your rez?

Warmer water can't hold as much O2 as cooler water.

Hygrozyme will help digest the dead root matter.

Its going to be hard to save her.

What Color is your res? If you say white or clear or anything other than black or something just as dark, your never going to solve your problem.

Not only do you have one super bad case of root rot, I'm going to tell you something harsh. Your plant is dead. It's not going to pack on anymore weight, or streach, or anything. It will however continue to mature. The trich's will turn from milky to amberish, then that's it, chop her down. The smoke isn't going to hurt you, anymore than anyother smoke would, so don't be worried about that, but it's just not going to get any bigger. If you would have caught this sooner there's three products that I would recommend to you.

1. h2o2 bath~
Go to any grocery store, and pick up some 3% topical solution h2o2, it's like a dollar. Dilute the solution in a 12:1 ratio, so 1 cup h2o2 12 cups water. Let the plants soak in this for about an hour. Airstones not necessary in this bath, because the h2o2 releases o2. You should see/hear little bubbles coming from your roots, this is a good thing! After their hour, rinse them off really well, and go prepair their new solution.

2.SM-90
This shit rocks! Get some at your hydro store. It's a natural wetting agent, but on top of that it also protects against phylum, or ROOT ROT. Seriously look into it, then buy it and use it...

3. Roots organic Organism
I recommend this because I have never added one product to my res and seen such dramatic root growth. This stuff brings roots back with a vengence. It's a powder so make sure that you mix it in really well. It introduces a natural organism into your res, that stimulates the hell out of new root growth. Perfect to use right after you fuck things up, I look at it as my get out of jail free card from monopoly.

Other than that, chalk this one up to trial and error. but be happy, your still going to get quality smoke off this lady, just not as much as you could have. Hit me up with any ? and I'll try to help you out, take a look at my journal to see my trails and errors in my past and current DWC's.

& Good Luck!

man I am no expert but those plants are done for.... your root rot is too far gone, with the res temperatures that high you were damn near making soup....... sorry bro chop them down...all the h202 in the world isnt going to cure that

Bubble bags.

well iv fixed the temp prob
but is it realy to late????
what should i do
should i flush now? or what.... im so bumed out!!!!

Sorry mate.

it sucks donkey balls.

That is the worst case of root rot I have ever seen.

Once my roots just started to turn slight brown and after peroxide bathing and root culture products I was barely able to get them to make new roots.

Your plant has all the buds on it it will make, it is essentially bud making dead.

Get yourself a magnifying glass and look at the trich's (crystals on the buds) They should be milky/clear in color. You want to wait until the crystals are about 60% Amber 40% Milky, then chop her down and let her hang dry. Your plant isn't going to produce any more buds, or grow and fatter, or anything. The last thing that it's going to do before it dies is mature the buds that it has already put on. This is a good thing, because it means that your going to have something to smoke, just not as much as you could have had. If I were you I would invest in a jewelers loop, or some kind of magnifying glass, and keep an eye on those trich's , once they get about 50%/50% milky to amber I would start to flush with Clearex, or what ever salt leaching mix you want to use. Let it sit for a couple of days. Since your roots are so far gone it's going to take the plant a little longer to uptake the clearex, so be patient with it. Once you feel satisfied that there is no more bad tasting nutrients in your buds, chop them down, and get ready for the cure, and the really smelly part...

, <3, , And Good Luck Homie!

should i still do an h2o2 bath?
how long till the trics mature?

aye mate...lesson learned aye???


are you planning on using dwc in the future? if so i suggest the ice probe....its a cheap alternative to a water chiller....on 100 bucks and 30 for the thermostat

GLLLL dont know what to tell you!!!!!!

listen to them....cut !!

how much h202 should i mix with 3 galons and how long should i soak

Try about 1 half cup per gallon should do the trick, ive used more than that before without any harm. I also know people that put some in through out their grow but they dont use organics. You should do it with fresh ph'd water not the water in the rez already. Also clean the rez good before adding your new water and plants back to it.

definately listen to the green man.thats exactly what i would have said if i could type better! lol.good luck from b.c.

what exactly dose the h202 do

anyone?..............

Don't freak out. The brown is caused by the Liquid Karma that you use. Liquid Karma looks like chocolate syrup. It's great stuff but makes everything brown!

Your plant looks fine to me!

That is NOT liquid karma...if you look close, you can see damage to the root structure.
