well id say you caught the rot early. go pick up that bottle of hygrozyme, follow the directions and then to help prevent pythium in your system get some guardian angel. you hsould be fine.... I had a problem with rot once and didnt even use anything, I gave the roots a rinse and replanted in a new net pot in a single bucket to isolate the disease. fuckin thing lost about 6 inches in height and didnt yield too well but it made it


What system are you using and how often do u flush..... also how hot is your room and water temp?

bottles of frozen water??? jeez, sounds like a recipe for shock to me, but I could be wrong. The rot could be through drastic temp change from the warm environ and then the cold water going in. keep the water at the same temp as the room.

water temps should be about 65 degrees. anything hotter than 80 can cause rot.

Guardian angel helps prevent pythium and other diseases.... pythium is a disease known to cause root rot. its to prevent further disease in your system....

how is the plant looking right now?
