need help immediately with plant stems

[ryankos]

hi I'm on my very first grow I have a DWC system. My plants are three weeks old and have some what looks like rotting going on in the lower stems. Anything helps

 

[mastacheeser]

I'm assuming that you have a portion of the stem that is getting wet regularly. Just do something to stop it from getting wet.

 

[ryankos]

Ok fixed that but the stems took a bad beating do you think they can recover?

this just happened to one of my plants.it was the hydrocorn cutting up the stems.

 

[ryankos]

OK here they are so damn deppressing!

 

[ryankos]

almost all of the top looks fine except for one of them, all the leaves are starting to shrivel up. I just really Don't want to start over but if I have to I was thinking about maybe cloning them I don't know still need some help please and thank you. and if I do have to start over at least this time I know what to look out for

 

[ssteely71]

I have no experience with hydroton. But. I believe if you give it what it needs it can recover. Best of luck.

i have a lot of experience with hygroton, and it isn't going to do that to your stem. i suspect you have some kind of fungal infection, similiar to damping off

 

[ryankos]

oh yeah it's definitely fungal. I lower the water in the reservoir so Stem is staying dry I'm treating it with hydrogen peroxide I just don't know if there is something else nutrient wise I should I add?

 

[squiggly]

You can add some hope. I think that's about all you've got left right now. I'd start rooting some cuttings now if it were me.
