My two plants, 5 weeks into veg, have quickly developed root rot over the last week or so and are wilting. It's my first time doing hydro (DWC). I'd like to try to save them. Here's what I've done so far:
Dumped the res, sterilized with bleach and scrubbed it, and replaced with strait RO water. I added 1qt of 3% h202 solution. No nutes added. Usually I use Sensi grow A+B which were at 1100ppm, PH between 5.3 - 6.
I have 8W of air being pumped into a 5 gallon res, so there's plenty of oxygen. I scrubbed and sanitized the air stones.
Question: Can I apply h202 directly to the roots? They're in dismal shape; I've found strands of dead root material floating in the res. THey've stopped growing entirely.
Also, can I apply antibacterial dish soap in the res?
Will foliar feeding help keep the plant alive temporarily?
The bottom leaves are wilting. Should I cut them? The root mass has shrunken and I doubt the roots can support the plant as it is now.
