Some of my plants are starting to show signs of root rot.
the first 1/2" of some of the roots hanging from the net pots on a couple of my plants are looking rotted. they are brown in certain areas. I have also noticed brownish orange chunks of shit in my submersible pump filter. I think this is because of light getting through the res. I thought i did a good enough job wrapping my res with aluminum foil and duct tape. but apparently I haven't. I have fixed my Res and I'm sure its light proof now. and I removed the pump.
I know many people say you can treat the infected plants with Hydrogen Peroxide. But Ive been looking and searching the plant problem forum and the FAQ's but i cant find anything more on how much to use or how to treat the roots.
If anyone could shed a little more info on this subject I would be most appreciative.
Thanks in advance,
SJ
