Roots look like on this bad girl?

They are not bright white by any means but no foam at all and they look the same as they always have.

I need to start writing things down every damn day. what I do, where everything is at. Adjustments I make so I can look back at notes. Haven't done it on the first grow as I have done on my second grow.
 
Ok, foam will come from h202 killing bacteria and that's fine. Got hygrozyme yet?
 
I forget you're using flo n gro. can you get that tub filled to cover most of the roots and hold it for a while?

How often do the roots actually get soaked and for how long are they soaking? I dont recall the routine well.

The problem I am having is with my 2 plants in 5 gal bubbler bukets. The Flo n Gro plants are kicking ass and taking names.
 
ok, I suggest doing this. No idea what others may think but my thought is to get everything nice and sanitary.

Take the plant out of the bucket and prop the lid so the roots are suspended.

Get a spray bottle with cold tap water and spray the shit out of the roots. Get up close to them. Place your clean hand against the back of the roots and this will help to force and dirt, fungi, whatever to drip off the roots. Try to do a real good job of cleaning them. The 20 mins or whatever in the air will do them good as well.

Clean the piss out of the bucket. Use some bleach, then rubbing alcohol after a good rinse and dry. Vinegar works too.

Then dump about 125 ml of h202 and tap water into the bucket. Air pump on. Keep it cool, sub 68f, and leave it there for 6 hrs with the roots in this bath.

Re nute, to a low ppm. say 1.6 ec (800ppm on .5 scale meter, 1120ppm on .7 scale meter). Use full 10ml per gal hygrozyme, and add about 15ml h202.

You should end up with a nice clean refresh doing this.

Don't worry if you see foam after doing this. That's just a sign the h202 is doing it's job.
 
Also, as I understand it. The bad leaves will never recover and look normal. So I guess, just pluck em all off so you can monitor new changes to leaves.

I could be wrong, but I have yet to see leaves discolor badly and come back.

Someone rep Bassman59 for me, please. Excellent post! Thanks for sharing.

To confirm, the leaves will not come back, best to trim them off to give a clean view of further decline.
