Root rot 2 weeks before harvest

[YesMamNoSir]

Each root has a corresponding limb. So if there's a root stalk dying so will the entire limb. How many limbs are wilting should let you know what percent of the root is being stunted.

Peroxide is another option. It is just water with an extra oxygen molecule attached to it. This will help disinfect the roots along with supplying a small amount of oxygen.

I didn't read every post so I might repeat whats been said... id let them finish for sure!

h202 will sterilize the water and kill bacteria and can be used safely with other additives

dutchmaster zone is the same thing as chlorine except it has a longer half life
I would use h202 over bleach

hygrozyme is an enzyme that removes dead root but with 2 weeks left and the cost of hygrozyme im not a fan

sm90 is a wonderful product and costs much less than hygrozyme and works well to prevent root rot but im not sure it would reverse your problem in your time frame
I would seriously consider using it as a preventative against rot in the future...at 2 or 3 ml per gallon its not that expensive

my personal preference.. i think hydro works best in a sterile environment... im not a fan of using organic materials in hydro.. example fulvic acid, kelp, aminos,
i wouldn't put these things in my res... foliar maybe but not in my res
i would use h202 and sm90 onn the regular and leave the organic materials for the dirt

i just seen the post above about the enzyme pond product..if its a less expensive option to hygrozyme then i would consider that...buying hygrozyme makes me feel like im getting ripped off

Go to a a petco or pet smart, and get a little bottle of either pondzyme or stresszyme. This is the same enzymes used in hygrozyme.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE DILUTION RATES!

This is to treat ponds and huge aquariums. I would dilute into a cup of water. and then dilute that further into reservoir. I am sure if you research (type in pondzyme application rate cannabis into google) you will find tons of info. Hygrozyme, cannazyme, biozyme etc. etc. are pitched to the cannabis crowds so they have easy dilution rates but EXTREME prices. pondzyme for 15$ will last you the rest of your life.

EM-1 is another good product with enzymes. It Effective microorganisms, and they will eat rot off of anything……including oil spills on the beach.
GOODLUCK

I'll look into this as petsmart is close to me.

This is how I feel. I've been off/on cultivating for few years now and this is first time having rot. I know the factors on how it happened, but was to late to act. Along with the Cons to scrog...

Thanks all for the replies.

to me the rot isn't bad enough to chop the plants before completion... they will live as they are... the color will never go back to white but you can stop the excelleration (sp) and reduce slime with h202 11ml/gln of the 3% 1 ml/gln of 35% food grade

Sorry I didn't read all the post I been through same thing if PH is going up instead of down it is bacteria not rr. It must be close to the same thing,I don't know what I'm talking about but it's what I been told and it fixed mine. I use the hydroguard,great white shark(whatever it's called_) and some Z stuff ever since my roots have been real white.I cannot remember whoo,somebody else runs the Z stuff too. Good Luck Now I start off running the stuff.

Thank you for reinforcing my statement.

Hygrozyme will fix that problem in two days.

enzeymes. you want enzymes. lots of enzymes.

HYGROZYME, PONDZYME, STRESSZYME, BARLEY MALT…..anything will do with active enzymes. That's what they're made for to degrade decomposing roots.

Update: You guys where right. After i chopped down, my next set of girls encounters rot in their waiting buckets. I stopped using h2o2 and bleach, grabbed some Hydroguard and they fully recovered. Now that grow is done and NEVER had an issue. Granted I made a chiller, but I could def tell a difference. Haven't tried any other benificals yet, but wont be using chemicals anymore. Minus cleaning.
