Hey guys, I started out with 3 plants, one got stem rot, then my other 2 got root rot... My third one just died 2 days ago after a week long battle.

I switched from DWC since I couldn't control the temps of water and went to Ebb and Flow water temps right now is 74-76
RH: 54%
Room Temp: 77
Tent Temp: 78

I treated the root rot with H202 and will use aquasheild tmrw in the res or might use it after 34 hours of res change.

Plants look stressed and seem to be dying off a little bit.

What could you suggest that I use to bring the plants back. I thought b-52 but the hydro shop near my home doesn't seem to have it in stock so are their anything else that is like it but also slightly cheaper?

What else can you suggest I do to revive the plants?

H2o2 is your best bet.

There is a product called PYTHOFF of something like that which kills the Pythium.

But IMO bubble air into your res and use h2o2 as strong as possible.

You could even try a dip of h2o2 or even household bleach could work.


Allow the roots to dry out a bit between floods to help eleviate it for now until it clears.

Here are some photos, there a bit stressed I know. I havent fed them anything in over a week; and I want to allow them to rest so thus the reason I havent given them any food. What can I do?
I changed my entire set up from DWC to Ebb and Flow and belive that this is a much better fit for my needs.

Your res temps are way too high. You need to get your temps down to below 72. Otherwise that root rot that you have currently will keep festering. Figure out how to get your temp lower and then run h2O2 to get the rot to stop. Unfortunately this is what you have to control in hydro grows.

I've been told that temps are a big issue when you do DWC, but not a huge issue when doing Ebb and Flow....Make sense?
