I know enough about hydroponics to know that I don't know enough, lol. 30 days seems to be that magical threshold. Sometimes I'll go for 6 weeks if I know whatever I have will be harvested. Thumbs up for you.
@@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
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.
General Hydroponics nutrients have turned my peppers roots brown. However, it doesn't feel slimey. My peppers are not growing further but not dying either. Is there ant hope to reverse it? I do see new white roots trying to grow above the water line of my DWC system.
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).
hi josh, is it possible to grow lettuce and other veggies in those shallow containers, it looks like some type of "seeding tray thing" (can you name all the veggies you can plant like that) l am new and having problems with root rot and my seedlings dying, please any advice would help, also hi 👋I am from south africa 😊
Hey bud me again. Me wanted to update u. The peroxide can work of done right. However sometimes it's just not enough. For those instances u can trim the roots and add a root gel to promote new root growth.
@@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.
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.
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.
@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
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.
It seems like all bare root strawberry plants have brown roots. I thought this was normal. I have to soak these now because after about 2 weeks they started going downhill. They started growing well at first. Somebody recommended Hypochlorous acid but all I could find were huge bottles that cost $50-$75 each!
Oh no bro. Do not use a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide and definitely dilute with water. U want to use a 3% about 18 teaspoons per gallon of water.
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.
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

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

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

Air stones dont prevent 100% but definitely help a ton! Awesome videos though bro! New sub fersureee! Happy growin!👊🏻🤘🏻
I'm horrified of my plants getting this so thank you so much 🥺

Root rot is not a disease per se. It’s an umbrella term. The rot can be caused by a few different pathogens from fungi to bacteria.
I totally agree! bacteria and fungus are a big problem to plant roots!

Use Sodium Hypochlorite or pool shock at recommended dosage !
You should add something to make the water move like air stones, also a water chiller and some hydro guard
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
Second part?
Thanks for sharing. Having this issue now...
Glad I could help
Colder water holds more oxygen. Nice vid.
Thank you!
Are there like essential oils that you can put around the plants to keep the bugs away like I've heard some people do in their gardens...

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!

Yea it’s either live plants or seeds for me from now on. Too many issues growing roots
Can you add fish to the water reservoir?
No, aquaponics is a whole different topic. Gotta worry about nitrate levels and fish food and PH and stuff. More complicated than hydroponics
This is great information to know
Gali could help!
Give Aspirin a try in your gardening and stick to F1's if possible ;)
My plants have been bitter now I know why
With this information you can have yummy lettuce now!
Use advanced nutrients voodoo juice. Works great. And use to prevent. Works great
Never heard of it! Maybe I’ll try it out!
Looks like you forgot to change the water or supply oxygen to the roots. Get some air pumps
solid instructions after ~6:40 thanks!
Oh no bro. Do not use a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide and definitely dilute with water. U want to use a 3% about 18 teaspoons per gallon of water.
Yea lesson learned. Hydrogen peroxide is for flushing only. Never keep it in your nutrients.
@@joshuarudd6297 RUclips can be a wonderful place. The amount of people sharing knowledge is great. Keep learning and making content man.

Hydroguard!!!
Yes sir!
I can second that
My roots do fine without hydroguard, its a good thing as it isnt available here :)

Dipping them in 3% H202 will kill them ! Only dilute at 3ml per/L.
Crap review dont know much about gardening in hydro.!
you don't know much eaither seems :D
