although the beni teas will fix your problem like the medicine man stated, if you want something you can use right now pick up some Hygrozyme. I used to use it with every feeding when i ran dwc and never had a root rot problem after. You need a consistent root conditioner in there and part of the reason you have a repeat of your problem is because of the hydrogen peroxide....it's great for killing the root rot but killed off all your bennies the minute you introduced it, creating the problem all over again once the peroxide wore off.

on your next dwc run treat your bucket with a root conditioner every feeding. for synthetic grows i used Dutch Master Zone, kept my roots bright white, explosive and healthy throughout the whole grow and serves as a buffer in the water. once that water reaches a certain temperature all sorts of weird stuff starts to happen. The zone makes it a livable environment for your roots to soak up nutrients no matter how warm your water might be.

I switched to hygrozyme when i ran organics which works just as well, except i noticed the roots stained a pale brown because of the product. Not a single patch of slime anywhere and saved a bunch of time on making beni teas...although beni teas are great, you have to mix, wait, mix, wait some more and don't let it brew too long in a closed area, that shit will stink like...well shit lol. I myself find the whole process methodical, but some like myself rather enjoy methodical tasks, especially after lighting one up :smokebuds:

save that hydrogen peroxide for steralizing your buckets and equipment, it works great for that!

anyways, just wanted to add my 2 bits in even though you've got some great advice already from stellar afn members :toke:

forgot to add this link! https://www.autoflower.org/f5/teas-dwc-buckets-3115.html I started this thread back a while back when i was 1st exploring beni teas. a good recipe to start with :D
 
The problem did start after I stopped using the vodoo juice, and after I put them under 600w light. My water temp currently isnt bad. It is at 65. But it might of been higher when they were in the tent with the 600w light and it was like 81 degrees in there. I week ago I put them back in the starter tent with the T5 bulbs and the temp in there is like 75.

But the responses have been great everyone and I appreciate the support.
 
If I can't get rid of the root rot issue, does anybody think I should toss the plants and start over again. Because it seems like nothing I do solves the problem permanently. Can I grow plants to its end with root rot?
 
Cut the rotted portions off, start with the tea, and new roots will grow back. Roots grow super fast. If you do that the plants could turn out OK in the end.
