Don't know but I'd like to see what responses you get.After some extensive troubleshooting I’ve concluded my issue is simply root rot. Plants were stunted, yellow, and generally sad as hell. Many have snapped out of it, after letting the soil to dry, foiler feeding with numerous products, but nearly half are suffering still. After a bit of research on root rot I heard about Botanicare’s product Hydrogaurd. It sounds fantastic for preventing root rot pathogens but in curious if anyone has personally had success with it when root rot has already set in? And if so what have you learned?
Background:
I’ve grown for decades but am recently back from a long break and am having to relearn a lot as technology and strains have changed.
-Using Gavitas 1000
-Promix
-Cutting edge solutions
Thanks. I did search Hydrogaurd but all the posts were all about hydro set ups so it doesn’t quite translate for my situation.Howdy friend. The search function here is one that actually works pretty well.
If you do a search for hydroguard, you'll get many hits and maybe give you an opportunity to do some research so when the hordes start throwing information at you here, you'll have some references.
And this is certainly meant in a friendly manner.
Cheers!
I’m certain it’s root rot.It stinks, not in a good way .
Stinky like poop.
It’s true you can pull one up sacrificing and smell the root ball.
I’m using Procision soil (Promix type) which, from what I’ve learned recently, IS considered a soilless medium? So Hydrogaurd would be advisable in my situation?Hydrogaurd is good but in soil id use southern AG fungicide. Dont bother with enzymes unless in soilless or hydro.
The bacteria you looking to use is bacillus amyloliquefaciens.
I remember a help thread but cannot remember the issue that may have caused this. Usually its a watering issue so while the treatment may clear up this up, its most important to fix the root cause
No thats peat based so southern agI’m using Procision soil (Promix type) which, from what I’ve learned recently, IS considered a soilless medium? So Hydrogaurd would be advisable in my situation?
Another concern I have is when to add in Hydrogaurd in terms of soil moisture level. I’m not wanting to add more water (plus Hydrogaurd), too soon, potentially contributing to more root rot, but these plant need something asap. I’m just not sure how quickly Hydrogaurd works?
This is a good plan… thanks for sharing that. In peat/soil IME the root volume tends to gravitate towards the bottom and sides of the pots. I attribute this to moisture distribution and hi oxygen availability in those areas. They are also the most susceptible and vulnerable to infections as they are exposed first to most pathogens and prone to over or underwatering caused damage that increases risk of infectionif root rot is really advanced you need to get rid of the slime because in it are dangerous mycotoxins which will kill the plant if it continues to take them up with the water.
Usually you can let the soil dry up, then do a bonzai rootball cutback which also gives you the chance to further inspect the problematic sites, then transplant into fresh medium.
If you are still in veg a little drought stress isnt much of a problem and could be partially relieved by increasing rH. In bloom it's a tough call though...
I’m in soil and the roots do not smell bad.It stinks, not in a good way .
