Voodoo juice to cure this root rot. I think it’s root rot

Enzymes if your going organic hydro.

Organic in hydro is a pretty advanced task... not one I would undertake.

I can vouch on that, fox farms big bloom that organic brown well animal poop, has clogged a few air filters and well we all know what happens in hydro when that happens....

Question though. It seems to be a giant ball of roots suspended by like 8 smaller roots. Kind it seems like it bottle necks at the mesh pot but the plant seems happy.

You were right about air gap.

I just left this plant go as an experiment. Rotten roots and all. While the plant seems to be suffering, the new roots with an air gap seem to be doing awesome.

I had abandoned this plant and was waiting for garbage day. In that time, the water went from 3/4 the way up the bucket and no air gap to only a few inches of gross, abandoned water in the bottom. Low and behold there are tons of proper roots showing since the water level went down

I did pour a gallon of my pre mixed water through the hydroton this morning since it has potential and the water was extremely low.

the plant looks rough. I removed all the gross and dead leaves 2 days ago and the plant is already overwhelmed with them.

am I able to go sterile although one or 2 of my fertilizers are organic? Maybe I can just not use the organic ones.

What kind smell do you got with this rot?

No smell. Root rot couldn’t of been that bad as she recovered on its own with basically no help from me. It was ready for the garbage and then slowly got better. Root by root, inch by inch.

I abandoned it for so long the water got super low and that seemed to help it out.

Still tricky to get the water level figured out and maintained but she seems to be happy so I’m doing something right. Sometimes the roots in the mesh pot get dry and stuff.
