edit: they're in FF OF soil

So turns out a few of my plants have root rot. They've been like this for 1-2 weeks. They are also my biggest plants and I've had to water them a lot. The leaves always got droopy and I was wondering why. Watering almost immediately corrected it, but now it barely seems to have an effect.

Symptom: The stems of the growth tip are flopped over, semi-droopy leaves, but overall leaves are all still green.

I've heard Hydrogen Peroxide helps, but how much should I add?

Should I try and remove the dead roots? Transplanting is an option but I must remove half the root mass because of the way my pot is set up.

sucks cus they just barely started flowering.. anyone know how to get through this with 100% success?

where do you get 30%? I only have 3% hydrogen peroxide I used 3 ounce per gallon.

You sure this will fix the problem? or do I need to remove the dead roots?

I am sorry for your problems man. I haven't had that problem in many many years but the only thing that worked for me was to trim all but the top couple of branches off, gently get the plant out of the pot and gently rinse all the dirt away repot. I know this sounds extreme but if you can get a couple of clones off of her it might be your best bet.
I don't know anything about the H2O2 and root rot, but your biggest problem will be giving the plant enough time to regrow roots and keeping your plant alive. The more foliage you retain the harder it will be for the plant to keep supporting it without you practically drowning your plant in water, just my two cents but hope that it gives you something to think about.
Good Luck on her recovery.
