So how much hydrogen peroxide should rud3dog add to be safe? I got one of those 35 gallon DWCs too. I am just curious because I think I may have the same thing and want to catch it in it's early stage if possible.

Hello ilikerolls....I just went thru all this.....I used 20ml per gal of 29%.......then cleaned everything the best I could...added bennys and nutes....and 1 week later the plants are doing great...lots of new root growth and plant growth...so far so good...

I was in the early stages of root rot....no slime but I had dark brown roots....I noticed the roots stopped growing....anyway I was able to save my crop...

depends how strong the H2O2
3% 17ml per gallon
15% 9ml per gallon
25% - 40% 5ml - 7ml per gallon
i would not recommend anything over 40%

all measurements are in in Imperial

Should I start to see my roots get whiter after the hydrogen peroxide?

As you can see all my plants are doing ok except for this wiltered one in the pic. Should I chuck this one out now? Is it contaminating the rest of the plants?

Roots turning a little off white is a natural part of plant ageing. The roots will start to look tan as the plants advance in age towards flowering.

Some nutrients stain the roots brown while others don't, so I don't really see how anyone can just say tan roots equals something is wrong.

Wash your hands and swab with alcohol. Gently touch your roots. Any slimey feel on the roots? If not, you're fine.
