Good point on doubling them up, one tub costs about as much as a can of black paint, go figure
Thanx for the advise, I'm good.

Try putting the new ones in Knee High sized panty hose. It will keep the roots and gunk outta it...

Interesting, I might have to try that.

Yea you can either use a rubber band around the end where the tubing is, and trim the excess off, or use some plastic twisty tie fasteners (looks like a belt I can't for the life of me remember the name, sometimes my condition makes me forget things)around them as well.
When I go all out Deep Water Culture, I plan on sticking the pumps in panty hose as well. I have LOTS with runs in them that I can use...
This is great advise!! I would definetly get the hygrozyme, it can be costly, however the small bottles are the cheapest. And I must say that the way it works is that it will actually take that rotten root growth, break it down and turn into food for the new growth. That stuff is amazing!!

I've had it in my tanks now for 3 weeks and I do think the roots have been doing better since, they look much more clean and white, and the smell is more intensely fresh, like crushed lettuce.
Don't you just love that stuff. I think its worth every penny 
no the mint was outside(gotta love the sun) im going to grow some fruits or herbs for fun in hydro though,some blackberries mabey,,can you grow hydro outside or would it grow moss in the res because of the heat??i think they would get super juicy in hydro lol blackberries the size of your thumb.

Thanks DD!
I think the root rot is due to the probs I was having with my res temps.
It was getting as high as 79 degrees!
Is that the actual name of the stuff, Hygrozyme?
I'll have to see if the hydro store has it.
Thanks John!
I actually have a can of "Fusion" paint for plastic that I was thinking of using, but I never got around to it! DOH!
I hope my babies survive too!
I covered the top with the foil tape, but I didn't think I would need to do the sides too.
Like I said above I was going to paint it, but I figured lots of people have successful grows without covering the tub, so I let it go.
Now I'm kicking myself in the ass!
Well, I already cut all the slimey roots off, flushed the babies and scrubbed the tank and changed the res water.
I will however see if I can get a bottle to keep this from happening again - if my babies survive!
Thanks Butcher!

Another question, I am getting ready to transfer the cracked seeds into rockwool, should I put them in the res, even though it's DWC, or should i put them in the clone dome covered in the nursery?
Question about the Home Defense. Do I spray it on the walls, will it make drip lines? Can I put it on a paper towel with gloved hands and wipe it down that way???
Another Question, the rockwool will be done soaking in 2 hours, the seeds are just starting to crack just the teensiest bit in the 1/8th inch of water in a coffee cup. Temps around the plants in soil and the beans in the coffee cup are a steady 82 degrees. Humidity is less than 30 percent in the grow area now. Can I wait a couple more hours on transplanting the beans to rockwool, or do I have to do it right now? I can do it in soil if I have to.
Thanks in advance everyone!

You mention your humidity is only 30%, I would keep them in the dome where it will be much higher. Also look into raising the humidity, they like it higher during veg. Do what Roseman does and put rolled up wash cloths all over the place and little cups of water.
When I used it it came with a sprayer that put out a mist and I didn't have any problems with it running down the walls. I only did around the edges of the walls and ceilings like the instructions said, not the whole wall. Couldn't hurt though.
This one I'm not too sure on. I can only say that I found it easier to place the seeds in the rockwell when the root was shorter. I had one that was over 1/2" and it was hard to place in there without breaking it off. Again, I don't really know much about this so I'd rather someone else give you a better answer
