G,day, girls , boys, and hermies.
Can anyone tell me what this is, or more to the point the cause of this root problem?- — that’s if it is a problem as the plants are super healthy, not one single blemish on any of the leaves and the plant isnt suffering or stunted in any way.
so I’ve recently switched to RDWC, and seeing fantastic results, I’m using a system I’ve built myself, ( loosely based on a CC system I saw- with high end LED”s and an O2grow device.
today was the 21st day of my second DWC run , and I pulled up my scrog netting to give my ladies a good defoliation and their last flush with CC”s ,UC roots.
AND I came upon this soggy, slimey, seems to be rotting patch of brown gooey root mass!,
its only a relatively small patch but was on a couple of the plants.
BUT we all know how quickly small problems can turn into big problems.
anyhoo, I have a couple of theories if someone could let me know I’m on the right track or no.
1/ my room is 29 (84.2) and my RDWC water is at 21 (69.8) maybe the differential is too much
2/ I have a very very minor fungal gnat/ root aphids situation ( I imported them when I was doing Super Soil but have just about eradicated them now)
3/ I only have a 50mm (2 inch) gap between the bottom on my net-pot and the water line
4/ as well as running an O2grow I’m also running air stones intermittently and for the first 2 weeks I had my air compressor on the ground so therefor I was super saturating my nutrients with oxygen for an hour with the O2 grow, leaving it for an hour and then pumping the CO2 sitting low in the room straight into my root mass For an hour.(( one of those blonde moments)).
so I’m thinking it’s probably either (3/) or (4/),
Is there anyone who could enlighten me to my situation
cheers
