K that's what i thought as well.

Were you using r/o water as well? I tried the sag but it literally did nothing for me. I have some Hydroguard on it's way but not expecting much from it. Bought it out of curiosity more than anything I think.

Yes I do drink it. Only after r/o though. Tds down to zero but perhaps that's not good enough, I don't know.

Ok thx for the advice, I'll look into that. Wouldn't surprise me at all if it was something in the water. The problems for me started when I moved to this place about a year and a half ago. Not one single good crop since moving here. My plants are slowly looking better everyday now though...

Fuck, tell me about it lol. To say lesson learned here would be an understatement. I've never really had root rot issues before so I didn't catch it until it was already super bad. I'll be watching like a hawk for now on though. My water temps are currently between 76-78f. I believe that...

Yep I have. Unfortunately did nothing. Currently using Piranha and it definitely helps but seems to be an up and down battle. I tried the SAG too and it did literally nothing for me. I suspect the Hydroguard won't help either since the sag never did but going to try it anyway just for piece...

So just ordered a gallon of Hydroguard. Figured I've come this far, might as well take one last shot with it. If it doesn't work than I think it's start all over time.

Update: So been a week now since going back to using the Piranha and results are a little mixed. Their is no doubt that the Piranha is helping but I'm starting to question if anything will actually cure the super bad case of pythium I have. Starting to think I may have to completely start...

Liquid. Apparently they use to have it in powder form but not anymore.

No I haven't. For now I'm just going to stick with the Piranha if it keeps working. I'll experiment more with others later again after I get a few crops under my belt first(providing the Piranha keeps working). I'm curious about Great White/Orca as well. Hear good things about them. Hell...

Ok got the Piranha going again. Took pictures this time. Like always I'll keep you all updated.

Fuck it, I'm going to go get some Piranha again tomorrow. It's the only thing I've actually seen results with. This time I'm going to run with it until I see it not working(if that happens). It's expensive as fuck and I hate myself for buying it lol, but if it works through the entire crop...

I hear what you're saying about the root cause. That's why I switched up my set up in the first place. Doesn't seem to be helping though unfortunately.

Thx brother, I do appreciate your help. Maybe I should roll by a pet store today and if I can grab one of those uv lights and see if it makes any difference. Feeling pretty desperate right now.

I'm not sure if painting the top white would really help anything. My water is kept in the bottom res and my temps when I checked last night are already at 67f. I wasn't using air stones, I've been using the waterfall method. maybe i should switch. So frustrated and disappointed right now...

Might as well give it a try i guess. How does a guy know how many watts he should get?

Update: So been trying to go the sterile route lately and my plants and roots are looking worse everyday. At this point I don't even know how much longer they'll live. I'm losing the battle and losing it badly. I don't even know what else I could try at this stage. This sucks :(.

Update: So last couple days roots are taking a turn for the worst again. While brainstorming yesterday I was trying to think of how I could create an environment that it makes it tough for pythium to survive in. I know pythium hates oxygen so i decided to add a fan on a speed controller...

I can't remember. I think 2-3 weeks. I've had set backs though. Things were starting to come along like this a week ago and then i did a res change and all my progress was lost in 48hrs. Yes sag, piranha and changed up from dwc to aero.

Here are some more pics for ya @devourawr . Things heading in a good direction atm but still battling.
