Hey all,
Currently Day 64~ autos OG Kush. Soil, fabric pot, LED grow lights. Second grow.
So about a week ago I noticed that the leaves on my plants were heavily drooping after a big watering. I believe this was a 2 factor issue; overwatering and humidity getting too high (hadn't had a humidity issue until then, but local weather got a burst of heat and I started to see the humidity creep up to 70%.). I was using fabric pots. but I think I wasn't allowing the roots/pot to dry out enough before watering again.
I immediately stopped watering them, I upped the air flow and stablised the humidity to between 40-50%. Temp between 21c-25c. I let the pots dry out for a few days, and began watering smaller and less frequently. Plants seem to have recovered (took a few days for the leaves to pick up from drooping), but I am worried that I have caused root rot and I am noticing growing rust spots on the leaves, alongside the lower leaves going pale.
Have I got root rot? Can I do anything about this problem? (i've seen root rot kill a hydro plant and feel these signs look similar).
Things im considering;

Things im considering;
- I could flush with a peroxide? I have silver bullet.
- re-pot? - fresh soil, cut off any root rot found?
- Trim off affected leaves?
