Root Issues

[CelticEBE]

Tonight I was transplanting some plants from 1 gallon to 5 gallon containers. They have been in the 1 gallon pots for a month now. Usually my roots are packed solid and circling a bit. Not this time....the only thing that was still rooted was the original dixie cup root mass. The roots that were dangling off of that did not look good. Unfortunately I did not take pics.

So...I'm pretty sure it is something in my coco. Pythium...whatever. My questions to you guys and gals is this. Should I blast the now transplanted plant with Zone, H2O2, and then hit em with some OGBiowar laden tea? Or should I just mix up a batch of tea that's has more root and foliar pack than I normally use?

I gave them a double shot of Cannazyme when I watered tonight as well.

Not sure what route to take as I have never had root issues in coco.

Thanks in advance guys and gals!

As long as the roots from the cups still look healthy i would untangle them a little bit and add some of your root additive caps , zho , whichever you may use and try again possible with new coco's maybe you got a bad bag , maybe the root just continued to swirl. Did you have in cups long ? if the roots are still healthy and white , i would say your ok - if not don't really know - pictures would help ?

Me, either, Celtic. I'd wanna get some tea in there, for sure, but may also give some palliative support via foliar applications. A little seaweed in the mix wouldn't hurt, either. Otherwise, last resort would be Roots Excelurator.

It was old coco, the roots from the cups were solid, but the roots while they were in the 1 gallon pots were not healthy at all. Which leads me to believe that there is a pathogen in that coco. I already transplanted them and I didn't get to take pics.

Had a friend come by and apply the subdue maxx. I was in aero at the time. Ran it for 12 hrs during the night cycle and did a flush. Seemed like some nasty stuff tho

Also might be worth heating the rest of your old coco to 180(tho I have no idea how to do this on a large scale)

Transplanted in new coco ?

No....it's old coco. After a round I usually run some cal-mag and cannazyme through it and reuse it.

Well I would def hit with some cap teas and keep a eye on in you might need some new coco but really a soil grower myself as I hate bugs of any kind and have heard that coco really breeds nats.....

I used to have problems with fungus gnats until I started giving my girls a regular dose of cap's bene's. Now no gnats! Pretty sure it's pythium and I guess I am just wondering if Cap's bene's will kill it.

If it's pyth then you are gonna be in trouble. There is a product called fongarid if you can get your hands on it and you are in early veg. Once and done. I got that tip from homie Glow (integral hydro).

Otherwise, the root pack will help.
