Hello RIU! *SORRY ADMIN WRONG SECTION* i just realized this was posted in the wrong section and im just gonna go and repost it in the correct one.


Ever since i started this grow the roots somehow found a way own into the reservoir in every pot and this hasnt been a problem until now... A big chunk of my rootball fell off while i was changing the water in my reservoir (i am using a 12l aquafarm) what am i supposed to expect now? can i somehow better the situation or should i just accept my blunder and face the fact that i might have killed my biggest girl? The chunk of roots that fell off was approximetly the size of half a tobacco pack when i squeezed all the water out, an equal amount of roots is still in the reservoir+ whatever is embedded in the coco. I was thinking of giving it Atamis Rootfast but does it work this when she is already flowering?

What should i do to prevent this problem in the next grow? im seriously thinking of smashing the living shit out of thoose pots when im done with this cycle....

Strain: Barneys farm LSD
Lighting: 400w+600w
Nutes: Atami Coco A+B 4ml/l, Atazyme, Ataclean
4 weeks into flowering (and looking great)

Thanks in Advance RIU

After some research i think it might have been a case of root rot since the roots were kinda brownish (definetly not dark but still brownish kinda like light mocca color) the plant itself havent shown ANY symptoms of root rot though, she is strong, big, no leaf discoloration and very "perky" . Any thoughts? was this a case of the plant just shedding dead weight? i simply lifted the pot very gently from the reservoir and it just fell dead down in the bucket...

Add H202 to the res regularly. Roots must white, not beige, brown etc.
Thank you for the quick response

What concentration do you think i should use and how much is "regularly"? each time i feed it water and nutes? Also should i be worried about her dying now or how tolerant can a strong plant be in theese sort of cases?
