Wow okay, this sounds like a lot to do tomorrow! We don't have Hydroguard where I'm from so I'll have to find an alternative.-Use hydrogen peroxide diluted with Ph balanced water and GENTLY spray the roots.
-clean and sanitize everything. Airstones and Air hoses leading to them. Wipe and sanitize the walls of your container, do not forget the underbelly of the lid!
-fresh nutrient swap. With hydroguard. Do Not mix with hydrogen peroxide and add every day. Go overpay for it at the store right now or overnight delivery option. Do Not use hydroguard before 24 hours after hydrogen peroxide has been introduced in any amount to the system. So wait to add hydroguard to the fresh reservoir swap 24 hours later, after cleaning.
-swap your reservoir water every 3-4 days. After initial cleaning and first use of hydrogen peroxide Do Not use it again. Every single time you mix, make sure hydroguard is in your lineup.
(This is about controlling it and allowing the rot to become more readily available ALL nutrients from the beneficial bacteria eating at the rotting organic matter).
Make cleaning and sanitizing every swap a routine until it is handled. It will stop if you do this. If you wish to keep her.
That is root rot. Your pebbles are too wet. Lower water level AND reduce air IF splash is too high. Root rot is non reversible and only controllable if you plan to keep her. A beneficial bacteria like Hydroguard is your only option. Only very little splash should reach the pebbles. It is all about a Humidity zone of 100% RH from water to hydro lid that keeps that part of the plant moist and not wet.
The only goal in hydro is to prevent over watering from seed to end. Keep the water level 3-4” from the bottom of the net cup and make sure your air stone/pump is not blasting bubbles. Splashing your medium/pebbles too high and therefore making your taproot too wet all the time. She strangled with too much moisture and not enough oxygen that her immune system lowered and she has gotten sick at the roots.
Nano stones work better as they do not create Big bubbles. Big bubbles splash hard and accumulate smaller ones before they pop and make it violent, so if you have a stone that makes big bubbles, turn that S*** down. Problem is you need more oxygen to the roots to stave off the rot and infections. Lower water temps below 70 make a tremendous difference. You may Prune leafs and in necessary side shoots to promote healthy root recovery.
I do add a silicone based product too. I'm using the Shogun range of nutrients. Perhaps I should boost the amount she needs.If you incorporate a Silica(Silicon in liquid form) it adds to her ability to fend off infection. It does more. It is available in soil, naturally. It is not present in hydro, water. So therefore it must be added. Expensive, yes, but it will give her some abilities.
-increased cell wall production and strength-
.Increasing stem strength without LST
.Increase drought resistance (nutrients adhere to the silica/silicon and allow holding nutrients for later use after availability is gone or less, sticks to the roots)
.Increase resistance to diseases and infection
.Increased trichome size and count (trichomes use silicon as it is their main driver of size and trichomes do more than get you high, they can help defend against pests and all sorts of things on the exterior defense)
.Increased pest infestation resistance (difficult for pests to penetrate tight cell wall production)
Would you know any product that is similar to Hydroguard? I asked the person in the shop last time and was told we not longer stock it.Hydrogen peroxide kills both good and bad bacteria. It’s a nono. Beneficial bacteria’s is all the good that eats the bad. The biproduct is ALL nutrients become more available for the plant. Hydroguard has no benefits and is detrimental long term use.
It can but it would most likely take a while to get here. I'll ask again tomorrow in the shop. He may know more about where to get it.Amazon can’t ship it?
