It's been an up and down battle. Things look good, things look bad, than good again and etc.so where we at? any progress with the Piranha?
I've tried hydroguard and sag but neither one even helped. I think the biggest problem for me was that I've never had root rot issues before so by the time I figured out what the problem was it was already so bad that I just can't fix it now. I now know I need to stay on top of it from day 1 and not let things get to this point.I use orca, and I have a bottle of hydroguard. Orca is great. When my water went down, I saw a light pink ring in the bucket. Added orca, tossed in water and within an hour, the bucket was sparkling. Active little fuckers.
You could buy a chiller, and truly never worry again. Probably $100-150 on your local craigslist.I've tried hydroguard and sag but neither one even helped.

It's been interesting man! Good luck on your future runs.Update: So after a long mostly losing battle I've decided it's start all over time.
I'm going to take my most healthy looking plants and at least try to flower them out using the Piranha but tossing the rest, cleaning and bleaching the shit out of everything in my veg room and start over from clones(which I will be taking this morning).
It's a big understatement to say lesson learned here but hopefully this experience will help me from preventing it happen ever again in the future. I will be watching my roots obsessively for now on and will be taking action at the first sign of discoloration.
I did learn a lot and I can for sure say that when I do need a little help it'll be the Piranha that I'll be reaching for. Unfortunately it's just not affordable enough to use on a regular basis though.
I will continue to drop updates on my new stuff once it gets going to let you guys know how things are turning out.
Just want to thank everyone here that tried to help me and for the support. Especially @rkymtnman and @macsnax. Thx guys.
I don't think water temps are my problem though. This morning when I checked it was at 63f. I think the problem originated from fungus gnats but I could be wrong.You could buy a chiller, and truly never worry again. Probably $100-150 on your local craigslist.
fungus gnats carry bacteria and shit.I don't think water temps are my problem though. This morning when I checked it was at 63f. I think the problem originated from fungus gnats but I could be wrong.
they sure do lol.fungus gnats carry bacteria and shit.
No, start over completely after thoroughly sanitizing your area.I should of asked this earlier but just out of curiosity is it ok to take cuttings off of mothers with root rot? Pythium only spreads through water right?
Oh man, that SUPER fucking sucks.No, start over completely after thoroughly sanitizing your area.
Thx man, I appreciate that. I have plenty of seeds, it's just the extra time it takes to grow em up to the point of being able to take new cuts is what sucks.Yeah pretty sure rot is systemic buddy. Feel free to hit me up if you're in need of genetics.
maybe..pythium isn't the only thing that causes root rot, but it is the most common one. you have at least a 50% chance the clones will be alright. it will be pretty obvious pretty quickly if they aren'tI should of asked this earlier but just out of curiosity is it ok to take cuttings off of mothers with root rot?

Ok I see. It does seem kind of odd that cuttings with no roots yet would just automatically have pythium, just because the moms do.maybe..pythium isn't the only thing that causes root rot, but it is the most common one. you have at least a 50% chance the clones will be alright. it will be pretty obvious pretty quickly if they aren't
