Need help! DWC potential root rot?

[Aarkem]

Having some trouble...started my flush on Wednesday and now all of my plants are Soo droopy...roots don't look bad..pH is right, temps are good...

I am at almost 8 weeks...do I chop now or are they already trash? I added some peroxide to a few before they went to sleep today...but I am tempted to just cut them all down now as the buds were like 90% done.

Any advice is most welcome!

Cheers,
Aark

Pics or it never happened

Nutes?

Amounts?

Etc etc etc

 

[Aarkem]

Can't do pics until about 8:30est...I am running no nutes right now...just flushing with straight water...PH to 5.8.

Can update pics later but they look sad

How warm is the water?

 

[Aarkem]

Ranges between 68.9-71...this is week 8ish I have had no issues until I started this flush. Tapwater is about 350ppm, pH at 9...corrected to 5.8

 

[Justin McGreen]

So you know the water is a bit warmer than it should be......I don't think it should be over 65 degrees.

Water temp is fine, I ran mine all summer close to 80deg, no issues with hydroguard and z7

Curious why he got root rot, I assume not enough Rez changes, assuming it is root rot

What did u do to FLUSH it

Man that looks ruff

 

[Aarkem]

I went 50% nutes for 5 days then to just straight water since Wednesday. This is my first.

Roots look GREAT

Something else is wrong

no bubbles?

Water level too high?

pH??

 

[Aarkem]

I do think the water was too high, I dumped about half of it yesterday but I haven't seen an improvement in 24 hours...so I'm worried

 

[Chris Scorpio]

You can actually drown plants in DWC

Be sure it's 3" or so below the net pot, good bubbles


And pray

 

[Aarkem]

I would have been cutting them at the end of the week, should I stay the course and pray or chop them now and count my losses?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Are they ready??

Can't see the buds

 

[Aarkem]

They are somewhere in the range of 15-10%clear, 80ish% milky, 2-5% Amber...a bit early but not a waste... Just waiting on some clones to root, so if it will get me safely to my next harvest all is well. I was worried I would wait to long and it would be actual garbage, so I am not opposed to cutting it early. Thank you for all of your feedback.

Man that looks really bad no way it just happened after a flush. I’ve flushed hundreds of plants for up to 4 weeks and never seen that before. the roots look great. I’d say she’s a goner. Especially because she’s in flower the stress will herm her if she recovers. I’d just harvest as much as possible before it rots.

Ouch. Good advice from iceman420 there mate. Looks like something hit them quick and hard too. Sadly the potency will suffer along with taste/flavour. Seems something has gone very toxic. Have you used any folier feeding and what is the humidity like?
