My pump is always cool and pretty quiet as well. For just the 1 plant it's doing a good job for now.

Updated pictures. There is a super long single strand root that is almost 2 feet long now. Lots more white. These are definitely stained brown and the nutes keep clumping where the roots ball up together. I can spray the clumped nutes off whith a spray bottle with no problem. It's definitely...

I just added 2more air stones to mine and it seems to be creating a lot more bubbles. If I start running into issues again I'll get a bigger pump. Good news is roots seem to be all recovered now. I'll put up another pic. I also switched the cfl out for the led light I was going to try this time.

Maybe I'll swap it out. I think I only paid $20 for this one.

Active Aqua Air Pump, 4 Outlets, 6W, 15 L/min https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002JPEVMC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Eu-xzbYGMC1H8 I have 2 large air stones with this in a 8 gallon res but it only has 5-6 gallons in there. I'm adding 2 more stones to help it recover a bit faster.

Still seeing new growth in roots and plant. Added additional bennies and nutes so I'm seeing less calcium def as well. Hopefully by early next week I'll have a nice healthy root ball

It's clearing up. The h2o2 would have probably sped up the process but there isn't any smell and the temps are around 66 in the reservoir. I see new growth in the roots as well as the plant. I'll see how it goes over the next few days.

Thanks for all your help. I'm hoping I see some big improvement in the next 2 days. I'm going to up the nutes a bit too just because of the deficiencies. If anything takes a turn south I'll let you know.

UPDATE No smell! Plant has gotten taller and I see new growth coming in. Roots are still growing. They are definitely stained brown and had a little gunk build up from nutes but it didn't feel slimy at all and it rinsed right off. The leaves look horrible, bad calmag deficiencies. I hope this...

Thank your for all the feedback. My next step would be to blast it with peroxide if this does not recover today. I haven't opened the tent yet as the lights don't turn on for 2 more hours but I don't smell anything funky around the tent which is a good thing so far.

I added nutes last night at a 1/4 strength. I checked on the plant this morning and it looks like there isn't any rot (yet) they just look brown from staining and there was no smell. I'll post another updates after getting home from work this wevening. Hopefully the res temps stay low.

Thanks for the input. I am still seeing new growth on the plant but after about a day or 2 the plant starts to show some deficiency by browning of the leaf tips which eventually spreads. As for the roots, they still appear a bit brown but they aren't really slimy. I am noticing they are getting...

Hi all, Instead of going with h2o2 for dealing with rot, I've decided on going with straight hydroguard to breed the good bacteria. I changed my res yesterday and put nothing but hydroguard in at 3ml per gal (I have 5 gallons of water). My question is when do I re-introduce nutes into the...

I just got off he phone with Advanced Nutrients support. They said I took all the right steps and to just add some hydrogen peroxide for a day. Then flush again and add nutes. Keeping temps below 70 is what they recommend to prevent pathogens. Keeping this below 70 is a challenge for me. I might...

Right now the temp in water is 68-69. I'll keep on it with ice water bottles. As far as adding nutes again. What do you suggest?
