Could This be Root Rot?

Could root rot make my plant look like this? This was my healthiest plant, now it's my least healthy. I'm two weeks into flower. This is in a bubble bucket and the water level got down to about an inch or two, but never went completly dry. If this is root rot what is my best plan of action? Thanks for any advice.

I noticed your using hydro so the roots are directly in the water. If you gently pull the plant out and take a pic of the roots it will help us see if there is anything growing on them.. Root rot usually looks like clumpy dirt on the roots. By looking at the leaves it looks like a mad case of over watering. Need a pic of the roots for the best answer.

Your plant is repsonding to something you did in a negative way. Best thing to do is diagnose what you did right before it start drooping, did you change ph levels, nute schedules, watering schedules, water levels, ect? If you diddn't and this is sudden then maybe your airstone died, make sure its still working.

Ya u need to take a look at those roots,, Anything brown is not good!!! I dont know much about hydro, but "definitley" check them out!!!


Root Rot
What causes root rot? Low Oxygen levels. (DO) Desolved Oxigen. Temp's are the main reason for root rot, Low temps will lower the DO levels and high temps will cause low DO levels. Keeping temps between 65 to 72 will allow MAX DO levels or max o2 for roots. (Thank you so much for the information syko2! has provided above!)
Over watering also causes root rot, Root Rot infects parts of the roots, which then spread infecting the whole roots causing death, Root Rot can be caused by to high of temps in hydro as well as over watering. Not enough drainage in your soil can cause Root Rot, even signs of it looking over watered, because the soil holds moisture to long for the roots to dry out. So these 3 things are all connected together. The main one that causes everything is over watering. Once you find out you have root rot, depending on how bad the problem is, you can add H202( Hydrogen Peroxide) with your water or hydro setup to kill the bacteria caused from root rot. If the plant is severely taken over by it, there are only a few things you can do, cut off the roots affected by it depending on if its hair roots or tap roots, add H202, or just chop the plant. To prevent Root Rot, adding product's like Thrive Alive B-1, See Weed, Super thrive will help protect your plant's from root rot and will help cure root problems. ( Again ty so much for giving me the info syko2!!!)
