    Taking cuttings from plants in bloom

    I couldn't find a thread on this, forgive me if there is one already: My partner is taking cuttings from plants that are in their second week of bloom. I've heard of this being done but I don't know anyone who does it--besides my often infuriating partner. Anyway, does anyone have...

    Endless war with root rot/pythium

    Just to close this out, things have turned around. We dropped the water heaters and the 180 was almost immediate. Thanks so much, guys. Now it's back to perpetual treatment to keep those roots white.

    Root Rot - 2 weeks to go help!

    Very late to this thread. Hopefully the original poster got his stuff worked out. Just wanted to add... Me and my partners have been dealing with root rot for years. Eventually we abandoned beneficials and went hardcore with non stop sterilization. Overall it has worked (though we just ran...

    Endless war with root rot/pythium

    Btw, I really really really appreciate this, guys. Regardless whether or not a miracle solution comes out of this exchange, I genuinely appreciate the help. Maybe one day I'll be able to pay it forward on another thread as I've screwed up in every way imaginable over the years.

    Endless war with root rot/pythium

    HA! I hope you guys have cracked a problem that has been plaguing us for years... Just found out the water temp at the spot that has the goofy acting trays is 50. There are two trays that have something my partner calls "broomstick." The buds are very small and tight against the stalk...

    Endless war with root rot/pythium

    We change the water once a week. We flush Florashield with each change (this is the only way we've been able to keep roots healthy) and we use Hy/Perox Water temps are about 60 degrees. All reservoirs have airstones, plus the drain sits a foot above the resi so there's aeration there too...

    Endless war with root rot/pythium

    We use Ready Grow - aerated. We drip over the top. Recycling water (drain to waste isn't really an option). We've tried other systems/mediums over the years, usually to similar or worse results with what we're doing now. The same problem occurs in two different locations. Honestly, the...

    Endless war with root rot/pythium

    When I say pythium I mean all the various root destroying diseases. I scanned the pages and didn't see much on this so I thought I'd reach out... Maintaining healthy white roots (on OG and Bubs) is, for us, like treating chronic sickness. Me and my family have been growing for many...

    Hydrogen Peroxide H2O2 and Hygrozyme

    We use both but we're in an endless war with pythium'esque root problems.

    Hello

    Hey, I'm from Berkeley, living in LA now. Been growing on and off for a little over 10 years. I've checked in here a few times but never registered. Some really informative threads.
