Canna Rhyzotonic causing algae?

[LiquidBud]

Hey everyone!

It's going to be quick and short thread.
Recently I've found amberish/brown little spots on my plant roots ( first on one plant, today on all of my plants )
I was panicked at first, but then I took Canna Rhyzotonic bottle and read its label, and it says :

"CANNA RHIZOTONIC is a powerful, algae based, vegetative stimulator for plant roots. It contains multiple vitamins and is 100% natural. RHIZOTONIC adds more than 60 microbiological substances that considerably speed up the growth of a balanced root environment."

So my thoughts are that maybe rhyzotonic could cause that? Or am I wrong on this ? Heres some pictures of yesterday, to your judgement.

The color is really similar to rhyzotonics nutes. But it also matches basic description of algae. Please help me

Are you using other nutes or additives? Could just be the roots picking up the nutes out the water mate, I've had this before and I've had root rot before but I wouldn't link them together. Them roots look nice an healthy! Are you using anything in the res to combat root rot?

Hi Mellayella,


Thanks for coming. I have complete additives pack, so this was my first feeding and I've used only canna's aqua vega a+b parts, rhyzotonic, and when I saw the amber spots, I have added some Cannazym, I thought that would help. Also I have tried to ozone the water with 30min runs every 2hours (I dont think its very safe method to do).
Even the plants look strange to me. I will do a quick update soon in my journal. If you would be so kind and take a look there? My journal link is in the signature.
Thank you.

It looks like nutrients clinging to the roots. I get it in my buckets. As long as it doesn't smell bad, and isn't spreading, I don't think you have much to worry about. The roots themselves look good.

Roots are looking healty mate. Not much to worry about imo. Those color shifts can be just stains.

Can't really tell if that's algae or just a tiny bit of rot.but if it's slippery and slimy it's probably algae and you should check for any light leaks or maybe even light getting through your net pot,decent info here if your still lookin Hydroponics - Hydroponic and Organic soil growing
