Aqua Flakes appears to be properly chelated, although I have never used it. It only mentions iron
including Eddha-Fe (Iron)
so some proper research should be done first, but if the nutes are properly prepared, there is no need for bacteria in the root zone. H2O2 will clear up root rot like magic.
Exposure to air for longer periods will damage roots. Good practice is have buckets to place em in while changing the water.
Notice the root rot is above the water line?
Raise water and try to maintain it 1 inch below the net pot.
When doing a res change pour a couple cups of nutrient solution (with hydrogaurd) over the hydroton. This allows the bacteria in hydrogaurd to inoculate the roots above the water and prevent any root rot.
Just some tips I think may help.
If root rot is there inspect daily and rinse daily if there is slime or dark brown in temp adjusted water.Thank you aqua man, always coming through with feedback. I appreciate you.
Its been 3 days since the roots turned dark, and 4 days since Res change.
When changing the water I never leave the roofs exposed for more than 5-10 min. Do you think this is a major concern? I’ve normally have not needed to flush often in the past, but with the recent root issues, I have been flushing religiously every 8th day.
Just a May be?....
My run in dwc (first grow in 15 yrs plus earlier this year) I had similar problems.. Turned out my calmag was almost black in colour and this gave roots that colour that you have..
Are you using any nutrients etc that may cause this colour change?
