You could've saved the basil. There were still some healthy white roots in the center of the rootball. Just gotta chop the rotten roots, clean the container, refill, and let it bounce back. Also consider using a root inoculant like Hydroguard to prevent it from happening again.

I've had root rot that bad before, I cut all the dead slimy roots away and cleaned my container and added new nutrient. The plants hate it, but I've never lost any yet. These were well established plants too though. With a fairly large root mass to begin with. Might have a lot to do with the success rate.

2 issues. When using see through containers, you need to block the light out or otherwise you get algae = less oxygen in water = root rot. For Gnat flies, water with hydrogen peroxide & neem oil. Or creat a spray.

@@joshuarudd6297 Also for root rot, the ph is very important, in the 5.8 to 6.5 range. Too alkaline & everything is a lot more prone to rotting. This is #1 reason for root rot, the bad bacteria need certain ph to grow in, water becomes anaerobic (no oxygen).

What treatment should I use in order to keep the roots in a good condition? Have you heard of a hydroponic ozone device (sterilizer) for example? Does it work? Thanks.
@joshuarudd62973 жыл бұрын
I do know what ozone does and how it works but I am unaware of it being used in household hydroponics. I work at a pharmaceutical that uses highly purified water and killing bacteria with high heat and ozone is used. I’ll look into it more. It’s probably more expensive then using hydrogen peroxide flush or hydroguard.

That might work for a few bugs that effect certain plants but common bugs like gnats and flies are very invasive and will tolerate many harsh conditions.

Treat stuff as quick as u can. I cant go no more than a week without changing nutrients. I use 8 gallon dwc buckets and air. One plant per bucket of cannabis
