Pythium Gone I HOPE But Now What?

hi guys i had pythium attack in my tank me thinks and i think i have gotten rid of it. Lost one though and the rest that had a little sign of it dont seem to have any new damage and seems to be drying up it was eating away at my stems. My roots look white but ive noticed quite a few have a fat end compared the the rest of the root.

Plants look droopy and they havent moved in the last few days.


will they continue to grow or am i wasting my time, they still look a nice green colou

What method are you using to grow? Sounds like hydro. Pythium is never gone, but once plants regain health and develop a robust root system, they tend to do a good job of fighting disease on their own. My suggestion is to get some beneficial bacteria in there, or alternatively, add a sterilizing agent.

hi thanks for your response im using nft, i have been using h202 to get rid of it seems to have helped. I also bought some root guardian to use but i put h202 into my tank today so not sure if it would benefit it just now

Will i get more roots and will the plant continue to grow

also is there point in keeping them going or will they be rubbish at the end up with all the stress

im in veg stage, what other beneficial bacteria should i be looking to get

The mycogrow soluble powder from fungi.com has everything you need. The bennies will take care of everything for you. Unless your plants are more than a couple weeks into bud, they should recover fine. Brew the powder tea style outside of the res first to avoid a gunky build up.
