Live and learn, and your backup plan is looking pretty good! One plant will only take a few extra days to fill in the screen.Yeah I just have to get them to live first lol. I've definitely ran into my share of problems lately I should of taken action sooner
thanks ttystikk you don't develop any skills when all goes well it's when things go haywire you've got make decisions & figure things out & you learn to appreciate the people you rub elbows with around hereLube and learn, and your backup plan is looking pretty good!

It has been problematic for me I think tupur is the direction I'm going I did a lot better with my e&f coco I know people get astonishing results & either they're lucky or have chillers & a perfect environment I have a fascination with dwc but it has a habit of biting me in the ass lol....thanks for the input ttystikkThat's why I hated DWC. Only when I chilled and circulated the water did I get solid results. Other people are just luckier than me, I guess lol
that's why I'm considering just cutting my losses & starting over at best the plant on the left might pull through but as you've said it could take months I know once you miss the boat they might never produce a fresh start just might be the answer your advice is appreciatedRoot rot is a MFer if you can't keep your res temps in check. Basically have to run a chiller... which is a compressor... which kills and gains had from aero/dwc/etc... IMO of course. Been through it, almost the same scenario w/ stinkbud aero -> root rot -> coco.
All that growth is donezo, won't recover until all new branches and leaves grow out, and even then it takes time to recover before they're pumping out healthy mature growth. You've got a ways to go before those are in full blown healthy veg. It'll take months.

Sound advice. Trying to recover plants gone bad is tough and just taking fresh cuttings can be faster.View attachment 3992408View attachment 3992406View attachment 3992410View attachment 3992409
I battled through root rot in aero... but when it was good, have never seen such healthy plants or vigorous growth. However when it got hot, and I couldn't control res temps, the rot set in and I abandoned ship to soil with sick plants, then uppotted to cloud coir (50/50 coco/perlite), and it took MONTHS to recover.

The 3rd pic above is 76 days after the 1st one.
Point of the story is... save 1 or 2 to nurse back to health and take cuttings of. Pop a pack of seeds in the meantime. Good luck #growerslove
I just wouldn't want to lead him to bank on these recovering quickly, and missing a harvest. When he should be popping seeds now. They'll be ready sooner.If running a chiller offsets the gains from RDWC then you're doing it wrong.
Not months. Weeks. Unless the roots don't recover.
Small chiller can work. Big one runs only part time. Or do double duty, it can manage environmental control as well.I just wouldn't want to lead him to bank on these recovering quickly, and missing a harvest. When he should be popping seeds now. They'll be ready sooner.
Re: Practicality of a chiller... I'm only running a single 4x10 flower room + 4x6 of veg. Any chiller (compressor) worth turning on is 1kw... I rarely run that much in light. I'm not going to double my output by running aero w/ a chiller.
I'd wait for the plants to recover before taking cuttings. You want them to process through the stress they're currently under, so hopefully those response hormones don't exist in the cutting you take.Sound advice.

I've got clones rooted @ 9 days & 2 sources of clones 1/2 mile from the house I started fresh in the other tent with doubledream 6 days ago it's showing no negative signs but it wasn't sick like the others but the blackjacks are the ones I'm concerned aboutI'd wait for the plants to recover before taking cuttings.

SIDENOTE: I love and respect all of your work. Thank you for the vertical goodness
If I start over do you think it would hurt to put the healthiest under t-5s it never seemed as sick as the others & is giving some new growth ???Small chiller can work. Big one runs only part time. Or do double duty, it can manage environmental control as well.
I wouldn't toss either of them, but I would start more. Then you're covered either way.If I start over do you think it would hurt to put the healthiest under t-5s it never seemed as sick as the others & is giving some new growth ???
