Hello Everyone!
I am a first time grower. I just bought a grow box and bought some clones.
I made some initial mistakes.
So after 4 days I went to check on them.
Root ROT!
I have cleaned the system twice and cut the offending roots and even scraped away some of the putrid smelling rockwool. I now lowered the water and just have the roots (or the ones with roots) touching the water. The nutrients are correct (according to the paperwork it came with). I adjusted the Ph with Baking Soda and vinegar (I read that on another thread) I did not want to use too many chemicals.
Nothing seems to be working and I am afraid I have to junk it all.
Is there anything I can do to save my babies? Did I already do too much damage?
Help, growing friends! Help!
Oh the strains I am growing are Blue Dream and ALien OG

I made some initial mistakes.
- Used the rockwool cubes (the clones came in this) as the only growing medium
- Overwatered the cubes. The cubes were half submerged in water.
- Let light hit the cubes and did not cover them
- Not correct PH balance.
So after 4 days I went to check on them.
