And things were looking so good

Did you make a mistake by chance and put way way way way to much bleach in? I also use bleach but in powder form.

Def a mystery. Other plant looks fine. So something different had to go down with the other one.

not sure what i'd do at this point. only other thing it "might" be is stem rot??

giving nutes now isn't gonna do anything: if she's not drinking, she's not eating either.

Need to do some surgery. Take the rocks out of the net pot and inspect the stem.

If it does not pick up anytime soon you may have to go to some extremes to have a chance.

As in chop the main stem at an angle and put it into some water like flowers for your kitchen.

Stick a syringe into the main stalk and inject some water?

Just throwing some crazy things out there. Gotta get water into that main stem some how.

Or it may just be a lost cause...hope not tho.

This is a maybe, I don’t remember messing that up. But can’t say for sure that I didn’t.

You got enough air in the res? I assume you have same amount with each res. Nothing looks crazy bad. Need Scooby-Doo and the crew on this one.
yup same amount in each res, even changed out the stone a couple weeks ago as the old one wasn't pumping out the bubbles. If i over bleached it is she done for?

Looks like black mold/rot at the core just below the net pot. Net pot looks wet, I personally try to avoid this when roots are well developed.

Did you use bleach from the get go? Cheers!
Yes used bleach from the get go, net pot will look wet as I was advised to top feed a little to see if she will drink. I was also not impressed by the look of it underneath. I tried to keep detailed records of grow at home as well a mini journal kept here. Looks like this round will be another learning lesson.

ive been seeing shit like this around me lately, same symptoms pretty much. my entire personal grow got wiped out (in week 7, no less), along with my homies on the other side of town. we both run temp controlled rdwc systems but plants look like theyre underwatered and underfed (so not drinking or eating, same as yours). oxidizers having no effect, bennies having no effect. uv sterilizer on the r/o intake also no effect. local coco guys seem unaffected so far. my theory is cyanobacteria in the municipal water supply, im about to send water samples to a lab to confirm. im in se michigan, and weve had this shit brewing in our lakes for a few years now. hope this isnt whats happening in your grow too, because the only solution ive found so far is to completely replace everything that has had water in it and run 4+ ppm chlorine religiously from start to finish

took a little peak in before lights on, she's not doing any better, anything i can do before i just cut my losses and hope it doesn't spread to the other plant in the same res?
I will also get a pic of the bubbles to hopefully rule that out as an option. looking back i had been using bleach every 3 days. I definitely missed a few of these. Although i am sure i did use it with the last res change. Up until then though things I thought had been looking good.
I appreciate all the help.
I do have a grow journal in here as well, if anyone cares to look, you are more than welcome to chime in. You can see my early struggles with overpowering my plants with led lights, and this fantastic 8 week from flip fail.
I have her cloned she will live to flower another day. Just a tough loss.
Thanks again

that's what i thought too. i hardly see any bubbles in there. maybe its just the pic?
a better pic of the bubbles. It's too late for that plant i threw her out but wanted to double check that my bubbles look sufficient. I made a few mistakes this grow, ones i intend to not repeat, just want to make sure it looks like DO isn't one of them. Thanks
