Root Rot In Water Culture - justicebzwieg - 09-21-2026
Brown slimy roots and a sour smell from the bucket mean root rot, and in a warm room a DWC CBD plant can go from healthy to dying in under a week. Reservoir temperatures above about twenty two degrees are the usual cause, since warm water holds less oxygen and pythium loves it. Chiller options, hydrogen peroxide as a stopgap and the beneficial bacteria approach are compared on https://calmcbdseeds.com by hydro growers. Keeping the water cool prevents it, and nothing cures it once it has really taken hold.
