It helps to keep the rez sterile but breaks down fast. The benefit of o2 is short lived and it kills microbes (good and bad) so it may have a benefit if using inorganic nutrients not for the o2 but preventing any bad microbes from taking hold. So yes in soiless it can be beneficial but not so much for the o2.
i had a blow dream no one said to save. it ended up being my biggest plant of the year surviving pythium blight and essentially a tornado. half my plants destroyed only 4 strains survived the one that no one said was worth the effort that had i aborted would most likely be another dead plant. Some times it saves you money. Actually lost half the plant in the wind storm and its still my best one.
when i was just dealing with pythium blight h2o2 was the worst thing i did. It would instantly kill a plant. All those good microbes were what was keeping them alive trying to fight the pythium. What you end up with is destroying it all and the bad fungis/bacteria can take hold again faster then the good and near overnight it crippled the plants. Im never going to recommend h2o2 again except as a finish. I never saw destruction like i did til i tried H2o2 literally doing anything or even nothing would have been a better option for the root rot.
Yeah i can see that. Once you start using it you have to keep using it. It breaks down fast. Like you say its not a good cure but in hydro and soiless its a good preventative but again not a good cure. It can be used to give the roots a quick bath and then back into the res with proper bennies but most times just tap water is good enough to rinse the slime which is actually bacteria off.
i've worked in sterile. different classifications for tech and to the bio side. Honestly when you see some of the tests their sterile is alot of work for not too much. Thats why you notice lots of chambers within chambers within another chamber. and you do it all inside a little box. Cause you get a touch more sterile each time. i agree with you completely. i run sterile air for the pollen aspect. but even then how i open tents and such it is what it is. A good IPM should cover most your common issues.
One thing you should do is add about 20% perlite in the mix.
I'm the only one that would try saving them then lol. The main reason is so you find out what you did wrong. Otherwise you could well do it again.
Can I ask a few questions?
What's you medium?
How much and how often have you been watering them?
What nutes are you giving them?
Are you measuring the humidity of the tent?
What light are you using?
Are you monitoring the PH of your water?
Personally I'd waste another week trying to save them, whilst LST them. If it doesnt improve in a week then scrap them. If it does improve in 3 weeks you could be ready for flower with decent size plants.
Please note, I'm only now doing my 1st ever grow myself. However I've done 4-500hours of research before starting. But there are far more experienced growers on here. But from my perspective I'd want to work out what I did wrong.
All the best whatever you decide
Overwatered with poor drainage. They drowned. You can start new seeds today and in four weeks they will be way better than these basically dead things could possibly be in a month.I'm the only one that would try saving them then lol.

How big are your clones? Mine are normally about 4 inches with 4 leafs. Mine took a good 5 weeks to get to his size.
