ok heres the deal, i built an aero ponics tub, i had a bunch of clones in rockwool that rooted nicely, i have great success with this method, anyways i built the aero tub with the ez cloner method and had them vegging in it, i witnessed explosive growth, i was stunned in a 3 week span node on top of node, considering i was only using 4x15watt, long Flouro tubes, i been always using these under shelf lamps and work good, ok up until 3 days ago all my roots were white, i started to see some brown tint then it got real bad real fast, the roots are the color of coffe right now, as i type i am sterilized the system in a hot water/ high H2O2 bath, my rez water is usually no higher than 76F, i have added hygrozyme 2 days ago and every 24 hours i change out the rez, fresh water/hygrozyme, now i was gonna vegg a dozen clones and take them to my larger home made aero system, the 6inch PVC tube method, really niice set up and with the results that i have seen in this little tub i am hard pressed to go back to soil, now heres the dilemna, im tight with money, like super tight, it killed me to shell out 44bucks on the hygrozyme, now am 2 weeks from harvesting my soil grow and want to use the aero, i have no time to get more seeds and germ/vegg them, i am so reliant on this batch of clones and dont want to lose them, my question is, with the roots being brown can i pot them in soil? soil is what i know and i cant mess that up, or can i Cut the whole root system off and try to re clone them? as if they were fresh clippings? i dont have the time to mess up with my first hydro attempt as i said i am reliant on the next crop, so what can i do now? pot the clones with brown roots or try to forge ahead with the hygrozyme and plray the roots clean up, they are now slimey and definitly have root rot, what would you do?
