Sorry, I sent an unfinished post by accident.I have an RDWC system and grow started 9 days ago
Thank you, I'm going to treat them with your method now. Hope this rot didn't get too far100% root rot.
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...www.thcfarmer.com
Aquaman, thank you for the input. I followed your thread and proceeded with all the steps. It was pretty nasty slime everywhere.100% root rot.

I have never used great white but many day it's a good product... I am sure that hudrogaurd and southern ag work though. Great white is supposed to contain the bacillus amyloliquefaciens that is what we need to defeat the rot.Aquaman, thank you for the input. I followed your thread and proceeded with all the steps. It was pretty nasty slime everywhere.
Here's the picture before&after cleaning.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to repeat the step 3 & 4 from your thread and had to skip the day. And as a result, I got even more severe rot. This time about 70% of all plants got this disease. Huge bummer especially after replacing the res water and adding "Great White" as beneficial microbes.
Hope it will shed some light. for the res mix this time I used:

- Grow A & B from Emerald Harvest
- Sturdy Stalk from Emerald Harvest
- Great White
Also, I found it suspicious that comparing to the condition when I spotted it a couple of days ago rot started to originate in the bottom areas mostly. Moreover, the new solution mix became incredibly dirty with a sort of a foam floating above (mix is one day fresh, RO water)

On the previous mix I used:
For now, I'll keep rinsing roots with tap water for 3 more days but I really afraid for the plants because so far root condition became only worse.
- Liquid Karma
- Voodoo Juice (about 60-70% of the recommended amount)
- Grow A & B from Emerald Harvest
- Sturdy Stalk from Emerald Harvest
Maybe I should switch nutrition to the chemical one?
