Thanks for the thumb! I feel like i get a grasp on hydroponics and something else throws me for a loop lol.

@@joshuarudd6297 I hear ya. BTW, I didn't know that was called root rot. I called it time to trash the plant. Now I know I don't have to trash it, but probably will. My plants hold zero sentimental value to me, lol

MI Hydro Haven glad I could help you identify the disease!

good advise! I've got lots to learn.

Yep! I agree with all of that. You know what your talking about.

@@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).

Thanks for the tip! I still have much to learn!

@@joshuarudd6297 I did it with one of mine. After about 2 weeks it was back to full health with beautiful new roots. Had to make sure it worked before recommending.

Glad I could help

I totally agree! bacteria and fungus are a big problem to plant roots!

I totally agree! I have “grown” a lot sense that video! Check out my newer systems that have all of that!

@Derek Ross don’t add bleach to your water supply for your plants that’s so unhealthy cus your plant is gonna be grown with bleach in it

@Derek Ross your water supply should not have bleach and you showing just use random public water you should get reverse osmosis or distilled water I wouldn’t put bleach in my water supply that’s feeding my plants tbh I like soil better then hydro cus it’s less issues

Thank you!

Gali could help!

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.

Use Sodium Hypochlorite or pool shock at recommended dosage !

Yea it’s either live plants or seeds for me from now on. Too many issues growing roots

With this information you can have yummy lettuce now!

No, aquaponics is a whole different topic. Gotta worry about nitrate levels and fish food and PH and stuff. More complicated than hydroponics

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. I did several things to get rid of the gnats like gnat paper and vinegar traps but all I did was rack up bodies as they produced faster than I could kill them.

@@joshuarudd6297 yeah flies thats would drive me bats.....but I was trying to figure out exactly what kind of nutrients to buy and also what kind of foam I guess it's to buy. Ima take your advice also and buy a air pump to avoid the old and mildew. All the ones I saw on Amazon all the reviews say they don't last long their pumps...so I just went for a quiet one. And it says to use a 28w but I saw a 30w that was the whole lamp...is that okay???

@@joshuarudd6297 and how would I make a donation to you cause nobody is helping me at all but this is literally the only way ima be able to eat lots and lots of produce that is organic...so I would love to show my support

If you go to my website, I recommend a 30 watt sansi light among other ones that’s a good starter grow light. Take a look in the description of any of my videos.

Nobody’s asked me that question yet so I don’t have anything setup. Give me a few days and I’ll work out a system. Thank you for your support!

Never heard of it! Maybe I’ll try it out!

Yea lesson learned. Hydrogen peroxide is for flushing only. Never keep it in your nutrients.

@@joshuarudd6297 KZfaq can be a wonderful place. The amount of people sharing knowledge is great. Keep learning and making content man.

No way, 18 tsp is way too much for a reservoir! Peroxide can be added to your reservoir but at a rate of 2-3 tsp per gallon, no more! That concentration will kill the shit out of your plants.

Yes sir!

I can second that

My roots do fine without hydroguard, its a good thing as it isnt available here :)

I got root rot using hydro guard. I added voodoo juice and now seems great. My rot was not as bad as yours though. I also use a lot of air through a stone. Hydro seems to make 💩 appear weather u use the right stuff or not. It’s crazy. I’ve learned a lot. But still learning everyday. So much can go wrong and before u know it 💥, it’s too late. 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

you don't know much eaither seems :D
