ROOT Problems

sithdixon · #1 (**permalink**) 02-04-2008, 12:02 AM

I know this has probably been discussed, but I really have looked all over for it and cant find what i need

. I have a 4 plant 4 gal DWC Hydro setup, and im having some problem with root rot/fungus/brown sludge. Wondering how much Hydrogen peroxide to add. dont want to kill my plants, but would like to clear up that root crud. Any other ideas? Thanks for reading all.

use 3% hydrogen peroxcide @ a rate of 10-15ml per gal, there are other products too, like hydroguard (i think its called). a few drops of dish soap per gal will help to. Hydroguard is a bio-fungicide water treatment that helps suppress and resist damping off diseases. Unlike the use of fungicides alone, it breaks the chronic disease cycle while leaving no toxic residues. Also useful throughout a plants life in hydrogardens such as NFT or Aeroponics. A phenomenal product which will strengthen your clones 'roots and offer your new plants the best chance of survival when transplanted

I used to run a hydro setup like yours and occasionally had problems similar to yours. I was able to stop it with more frequent water changes & keeping the res temp down.

A cheap way is to freeze a 2-liter bottle of water overnight and then toss it in during the day to lower the temp.
