Re: Dying roots - what's causing it?

Post by Keeno »

2 scoops could be onto something there imo. I use the same clone as you know and the water will indeed be warmer this time of year. While the roots look good they will likeky not be a strong as in cooler months.

Be careful with that h2o2 stuff, burnt me to fook first time I used it.

Again with the added heat what captains saying to. I never use a dome, straight out the aero clone and into coco. But the added heat may be effecting oxygen levels in the aero prop water and then the extra heat causing the plants to need more feed than normal or just higher humidity. I was spraying mine with a fine mist of water this time round early on. Might be worth a go.

They are watered after few days mate, as per usual as letting the roots develop.
And yes, the bototm leaves yellowed up, but that's the heat for them unfortunately.

Aeroponic roots are water roots. Use dome or plastic baggie overtop of planted coco clone for first week. Saturate medium.
Always the way I do it. Slowly open up the vents of the dome to introduce them lower humidity.

Wont putting them in a humidor encourage them to carry on feeding/watering up through leaves when in fact they really need tro be taking up through roots ?
+
So before you pot up you soak the coco in a low fert mix ? Then it shouldn`t need wetting again till pots are light as air and plants have come round from shock and the roots have started uptaking ferts. Every few days to start seems like it could be too often what with shock prolly stalling plants for a bit, just till they come around.

Just slinging shit out their to think about mukka. 8-)

As I said I always introduce them to the normal environemnt over the period of1-2 days after. Sometimes if you move them from aero prop to coco and remove them from the prop immediately, they become droopy as feck.

That's correct. As per usual they do very well on Canna A&B and after the first soaking they don't need anything for at least few days. What surprised me last time was that 3-4 days after moving them to coco, white healthy roots were showing from the bottom of the pots. Then a couple of days later they were all gone! No sign of roots. And the pots were drying off as usual. Very strange.
