Hey man, roots are ok, they didn't change so much.
I didn't try h2o2 because I asked at my growshop and guy there said is toxic and I don't really need it so I decided to wait more if the roots get worts I will buy it and try it.
Is that right ?
Anyway in yellow light the roots doesnt look so brownish.
Thanks

First time ive heard h2o2 is toxic since it didn't go into the plant and just sterilize the water and evaporate a couple hour after you can ask around there a lot of hydo grower that using it

Hey bongda,

How's the roots looking.

Hey man.
The roots are the same, a little brownish but just in top of the roots where the air pocket is. Also if I touch them I get that brown stuff on finger. I will wait 2-3 days and I will inspect everything and make new photos when I change the water. I also have bigger light and changed the day night period a little. I hope in 2-3 days the plants will adapt to the new setup.
Will post updates.
Thanks guys

H2o2 is not toxic to the plant when used correctly, it is caustic though, so if you get some on your skin, it will burn and turn it white. It will tell you how much to use on the bottle if it's from a grow shop. The kind I get is 29% and I use 3ml/gal to clean any bad bacteria up. I currently use hydroguard in my rdwc system though. You have to use h2o2 often because it will evaporate pretty quickly, especially in a highly aerated environment. Your roots look like they are bouncing back, good time to use it as a preventative, otherwise it's almost guaranteed to come back, and you don't want it to kill a large nice root structure. I hope it works out for you!

Hey. I got the h2o2 30% from grow shop and they told me to add water to make it 3%.
How should I use it after I mix it with water ?
Should I add it in the nutes water aswell or just clean the bucket with it ?

Thanks

I would not dilute that h2o2. No offense, but the guys at the shop are not giving you the best advice. Not sure why they would tell you to do that. Just be careful and don't get any on your skin. So each of your 5 gal buckets are holding like 3 gal of water? If they are not linked together, each bucket should get 9ml of h2o2, so not very much. You can just dump it in the nute water. You'll have to add it every 2 days or so to keep the bacteria away. It will evaporate pretty quickly and once it does, the bad bacteria starts to grow again. Once the h2o2 kills off the pythium, white roots will start to grow out again, like you experienced.
