Hydroguard and root rot

Just battled off root rot. Still having to ph down. Ppms remaining steady. Does root rot come back? I used hydro guard. But seems like i should have more roots. Do I need to dump my resivor and start over adding hydro guard?

Give it time, looks like they're recovering

Thx

Net pot looks overly saturated to me. This can possibly cause problems.

I would go for SouthernAG instead of Hydroguard if you live in the states, it's way watered down compared to SouthernAG. If you don't have success with bennies you could always go the "sterile" route. That's what I personally do in hydro.

pic 3: cover up those 2 holes. that light leak will keep the rot alive and well.

You mean the top sides of net pot. Ok thx

if those are exposed too, then yes.

i'm seeing 2 holes in the white plastic at roughly the 9 and 3 oclock positon on pic 3.

When I dealt with root rot nothing helped except for CX Wilt Guard. I have no idea how it's not more popular to be honest. When I had pyth in a single site dwc tote, I tried the peroxide method to no avail. When I tried dwc again with a single site bucket grow I got pyth again and tried Hydroguard but once again with no luck. Finally when I was running an rdwc setup and got pyth just as I went into flower I bought Wilt Guard from a local hydro shop and I could not believe how well it worked. It saved my crop and I barely lost any roots. I had also replaced every line, pump, and airstone in the system. If it were me and with a plant that size I'd root a clone from the main shoot and start over.

Yeah its on its 3rd leg. Got nute burned also. I flushd the whole resivor put hydro guard in for 3 gallons woke up to foam all over water.

I was looking at those too. They look like the perfect size to run an airline for the stones. But yeah if those go all the way down they need tape over them.
