I am new to growing in a dwc and I am unsure if this is root rot or not. A little back information on the bucket it’s in a 17 gal tote it holds 10 gallons of water im using general hydroponics nutrients the full line Plus Hydroguard, ph is always between 5.8 and 6.2 ppm is right around 900-1100 water is always about 21/22 degrees Celsius. I am in transition from veg to flower, I have been changing light 1 hr a day for 5 days. Any help would be great thanks in advanced

Looks like that's possible... make sure to rinse that slime off if there is. You will want to run either live or sterile to prevent it in the future.

Aqua Mans method to cure root rot (live systems only)

So figured its about time to make a thread i can reference for those seeking a solution to root rot. First let's go over some facts. Root rot is not temperature dependent there are many different types pythium that survive and thrive at various temps. Second it is not caused by anaerobic...
