For starters, I've included pics of two bud sites at the bottom of this post. What had and is currently going on is the following:
I had started discussing this, my first grow, in another thread (https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/368897-first-grow-looking-input.html), and then also found out that not only I had some problems but the seeds I was sold weren't the strain I had originally thought (https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/380181-orange-pistils.html). Anyway, besides all that, I had a question to the community - Will I be able to harvest anything from my plant or am I pretty fucked and should just start over (already have seeds germinating just in case).
I first discovered signs of root rot after one day cleaning out my res and catching a whiff of something awful. The roots up to this point were doing fine, white as can be and enjoying life. But I guess at some point one of my airstones stopped working or light leaks were apparent or dead leaves getting into the res or something because the roots started turning brown and fell apart quite easily. Sadly, I knew something like this must have been happening because my plant didn't seem to be doing too well for having been flowering for a few weeks.
I removed the dead, rotting roots and changed out the res as normal, hoping that (since this was my first grow) it was just a fluke and wouldn't be much of a problem. Well, the smell was there during every water change and the buds didn't seem to be making much of a development, especially from what I've seen on these forums from other growers. I started to check the hydrotron rocks around her main stalk. After pulling enough away, I noticed the root structure netted in with the rocks, all of which were brown and obviously rotted. Now I was really freaking out.
So after researching every post on root rot and pythium, I started cleaning my hoses and airstones and res and hydrotron rocks with h2o2, pH'd water, and hygrozyme. I flushed out the hydrotron rocks / root area with the same numerous times (have been doing it for the past 3 days as well). I am noticing the water in the res during changes has a brown tint and bits of dead stuff floating in it, so I'm hoping this is working. But my main question at this point is whether she'll be able to be harvested at all or if I should just give up and start again?

The pistils look nice in some spots, but the leaves around and everything else is making me feel like she's pretty f'd at this point. I continued this regiment and then slowly reintroduced nutes (always used the Flora series from GH), but I think the h2o2 / Hygrozyme ate away too many of the roots due to the rot taking over, causing my plant to droop and wilt.
Anyway, thanks for any and all input. This site is the best and I've learned so much from not only my first grow but also the awesome members around here
