My 2 sick girls are still sick and not doing well at all.. but still clinging to life.
It looks like they toke a 1, 2 punch...

Not only did they get their air hose pinched (for 2 days), but one thing I missed was that the rez was being heated by the lights of the lower chamber since the rez is right above them.. I have solved the problem and will show how with my next pic update. With both a pinched air hose and the heat.. I don't know how they even stayed alive this far.

The reason I missed the heat issue is cuz I check on them as their light cycle begins.. the rez is still cool then... When I checked them the mourning after before the end of their light cycle is when I found that the water in the rez was significantly warm and it smells of root rot. Sad in deed.

For today I have changed the rez and refilled it with ph'd water and h2o2... (2 days straight doing this)

Now I have a difficult decision to make..

Should I continue with the h2o2 treatment and hope for the best... or... Operate. I'm thinking of removing the girls from the cab, and trimming the roots... drastic I know, but I should remove as much as the dead roots as I can.

Worst case I will shop them, though they are only 5 1/2 weeks into flowering

So what do you guys think?

This is what I did on saturday night....

As you can see there are a lot of dead leaves..



This is the foam pad I used to insulate the top tub from the heat of the shelf and lower lights.



Decided to pull out the sick girls (star & spirit)... easier said then done, since I had to cut the screen off of them strand by strand.





I did some major trimming... Everything dead and dieing had to go.. All mini-buds went to the hash stash.



I then took them to the sink to check out the roots... The H2o2 did a great job of dissolving most of dead roots... A simple rinse took care of the rest.. no need to trim =].. They had been sitting in water/h2o2 mix for a couple of days, changing the rez each day.



Here they are all bonzied up.. I put them back in the cab and lst'ed.. By the way.. I will be going LST all the way from now on... Scrog is neet, but LST is more practical in my cab space just cuz you are able to remove them from the cab with out having to worry about cutting them off the scrog. I gave them a light dose of nutes, though I'm thinking maybe I should have kept them on h2o2 a lil longer.





Wind and Esperansa are doing well...
