Root pullout

:bigjoint:Hi People. I am observing posts for some time now and didn't find a definite answer to my question.
So i decided to get involved a little :bigjoint:
Don't get insulted for saying that i didn't get involved, i just don't know how secure the pages are and how u can get traced back trough posts "if you can", so i just used a little precaution, and I didn't find a good thread about those things.

I recently moved from Soil to Hydro and now looks like to airoponics.
I was growing this baby in an classic ebb n flow hydroponics system with top feed rock wool to expanded clay. But as unfortunate as it can get in this shit is that I had to move my location and had to bring everything to closure.

Now im in a loft apt and still testing the grounds. I decided to use only one plant from survivors and try a SCROG method with a airoponics/DWC system.
All my seeds were grown from 1" rock-wool cube.
And just as they started to grow root deeper and came their time to transplant, also problems came and it was time to move out.
I transplanted a rockwool directly on top of the Expanded Clay in a 6" net pot with rock wool placed to a half of a 6" net pot. Airoponics system spraying 24/7.
Well the problem came as you can see from pictures that they started to ROT.
I removed as much as i can of rock wool with some rotted roots that were just plain sludge:wall:, and placed them in a 1 net pot no nothing system.:lol:

So my question is. do you think it will survive? i am stressing this baby for far to long i guess.
It was the last of my Green House Lemon Skunk, and i want to see it survive. I even coped it for 4 Colas and then ill distribute them in a SCROG.
Im using "Fox Farm 3 part Nutes with some "superthrive", PH is 5.5-6.1, water temp is 65
inside a bucket is a 65GPS pump that has sprayers attached to a hose and hose goes back in the nut solution, narrows to a smaller hose that i use as nutes circulation in the res.
air pump with a Flexible Airstone
THX People hope to get some opinions.

they look rotted to me, in my expiriance it will end up rotting eveything, plus the water looks very unhealthy

I just replaced water from a RO 7 part system.
added 30ml of H2O2
mixed nutes for 20 min with pump
checked ph: PH5.5
Adjusted Ph to 6.0
vaited 20 min
checked ph: PH6.0
water temp: 65
The nutes were mixed properly 100%. This on pic is all 5 hours old. the old system, old bucket hoses and lid are gone.

The problem was made before all of this, when they stayed in water for to long, this is a new setup now, im wondering if there is something more i can do to save them.
i didn't use airponics before on roots pulled from rock wool without expanded clay for water buffer, so i dont know if there is something else i should do or just sit and wait?:wall::bigjoint::wall::bigjoint:

What if i add few cuts to the edges of the stem and ad rooting hormone? it looks like that the roots were going upwards escaping excessive moisture.

i heard if u cut off the rotting parts, i wonder if you cut the roots hangin out of the pot you can elimintate the root rot and still have a viable pot so that new roots can grow down


before doing anything rash like that I would first assess if she is gettin better worse or staying the same.


but there should be good roots inside the rockwool i think
