@jmystro is this nutrient lockout, root rot, and or ph imbalance? Those are my guesses, but I feel you have a better eye.

Hey, can we get a fuller picture of the plant. An is this happening from the bottom up? Or is it all over?
-
@Kosmo513 yes started at the bottom and I thought it had stopped then woke up yesterday and it was up high. I use grow dots. Ac auto bases and ph my water when feed, but this keeps happening about midway through flower
-
@excessive81 Saturating the entire bottom of the pot can create over-saturation for some plants. This is why Scotty’s RealBuckets have a small basket that is partially submerged as opposed to the entire base of the pot.

@Kosmo513 the 1st one is the worst, 2nd has it on bottom but seems to have stopped and 3rd is different strain but as can see it looks killer. All three have exact same amount of grow dots, recharge schedule, water and environmental conditions

I agree with Kosmo. Most likely over-watered causing root rot. If symptoms started from the bottom of the plants. This is physical damage to the roots and not any nutritional issue.

@jmystro do you think it started before I placed them on the auto water bases. And Thanks gromies for the help…love this community

@excessive81 They’re fairly large to just start showing symptoms. The issue is recent. Some plants just don’t like having saturated roots, especially early. Some plants do not care as their root system would have more vigor. Stagnant, warm water is a recipe for mold. Water temperature is a variable. Roots sitting in water need O2 so I’d highly suggest putting some 3% hydrogen peroxide in the watering base (about 5-10 tsp per gallon) and water microbes in from the top when the system is healthy. You can pour peroxide through the media to kill root rot and other microbes at a 4:1 water/peroxide usage rate. Then inoculate microbes like Recharge in after. You can use 1-3 tsp per gallon of peroxide for O2 in media without harming microbe populations. I believe your water source is too warm with not enough oxygen for the mat of roots down at the base halfway through flower. Before the bottom of the pot was full of roots the saturation down there was less of a concern.

@jmystro i will do that tonight! Thanks so much

Do you have fungus Nats? Trying to think of what might be causing root rot. Your wicking sip trays, do you top water too? If it’s something parasitic in the soil eating at your roots, I would try lost coast therapy.
-
@Kosmo513 Pests can certainly contribute to infections but a lack of oxygen is the main cause of root rot. Pythium is anaerobic.
-
@Kosmo513 i top water recharge and quart per plant but I wait til sippers are basically empty when I do thay
-
@excessive81 i would go with jmystros’ suggestion of a peroxide cleanse of the soil and hope for the best.

@Kosmo513 that’s my plan and now that he said that this started after I stopped using peroxide during my 2nd grow and the last 4 have had some level of exact same issue. I have high hopes this corrects the issue
