Hello everyone, well for the past 3 weeks ive had my plants in the vege stage. I have them in an aeroponic system with suspended roots, sprayed with ez-clone 360degree sprayers, for 1min on/5min off. i have the pH at a steady 5.8 with the nutes going from a little under 1k in the first week brought up to 1500-1600 by the second week. I have them under a 400watt hps on a 18/6 hour photoperiod. I have diluted some hydrogen peroxide w/ water and gotten q-tips and dabbed at the mold (because ive read in numerous forums this would help. Only been doing this for a day so news if they help or not. I also just came to the conclusion that the plants with most rot on the root had roots touching the bottom of the reservoir ( not with liquid in it; 2 rubbermaids on stop of eachother. My question is shold i support them with stints and start to flower them because my NFT is 3 seperate, and the flowering system i believe has a better drainage, or should i cut as many clones and start in the cloner again, and next time in vege just flower them before the roots hit the bottom!! Here are some shots, please any input would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks in advance

[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]An often-occuring mould affecting cannabis is pythium. This mould causes root-rot, and rot in the lowest part of the stem. It appears most in young plants, and in cuttings. Larger, healthy plants are less sensitive to pythium. Plants get 'falling-over disease' with a serious pythium attack. We don't have to explain what that means Pythium is recognizable by the bark at the base of the stem turning brown. In the beginning, the 'brown attack' is easily removable. Later, the rotting process eats deeper into the base of the plant. Pythium is a fungus which flourishes best in wet and humid environments. Pythium spores spread only through water. Two kinds of spores are formed; Swarming ones and stable ones. The swarming spores germinate best at a temperature of approximately 15 degrees Celsius, while the stable spores germinate if it's relatively warm; around 28 degrees C. To prevent a pythium attack, a constant temperature of the soil or rockwool is needed. Large fluctuations in temperature should be avoided. Pythium can only be fought in a limited manner with chemicals. A proper relative humidity must also be maintained (not too high). Leaf moulds, such as mildew, and thread moulds occur less frequently than pythium.[/FONT]

Prune the roots and see what happens.
yeah bad news, had one blueberry break on me today, and then i guess i had a power outage which f**ked up my aeroponics, woke up roots were dryer than grandmas..well you get the point..looks like imgoing to start 4-6 large mothers in soil so that way, i have alot of room for error and retries
