hydroponic root rot problem
 

Any of you ppl know how to get rid of root rot in a hydroponic environment off of pineapple roots w/out harming the plant? i heard that hydrogen peroxide is supposed to help. any other ideas?

Oooh! You grow Pineapples?

http://www.simplyhydro.com/root_rot.htm That's one answer that talks about preventing the rot.

Wikipedia talks about Hydrogen Peroxide being used, but what I've managed to pick up from other articles from Google (the majority about growing your own Marijuana crop) is that more oxygen is needed for the root - the root rot, (or Pythium? You'll know more than I), occurs in anaerobic conditions because the roots can't get enough oxygen --> for example, cold places.

Hope that helps.

geez, no wonder, i just stuck the tops in a jar of water and changed the water every once in a while. no wonder it started growing root rot. ill go ahead and try the peroxide stuff and hopefully it will go away :) btw, how much do i put in?

edit: it worked! i put in a capful of it and it's gone by the morning! now i just have to figure out how much exactly and how often.

Are you really trying to grow weed?

dude, i said im growing pineapples. i can't stand being near a smoking person(makes my lungs hurt) much less try to grow marijuana or smoke it. it was lenny, not me who mentioned weed. plz note that. :)

This thread has humor.

so does practically every other thread here.

And what kind of quality are we talking about. Are they high quality "pineapples"?

Who grows pineapples? I want pictures.

Are they "special" pineapples?

It's a special hybrid made from the Pineapple and the Marijuana plant.

Glad you've got the problem sorted. You'll have to take pictures, I've never seen Pineapples growing before. I always thought they grew on trees...I also thought Strawberries grew on vines, but then found out they do grow on trees.

It's a crazy little world! :D

none, i hate the stuff(i've been around at least one other person who smoked weed)

I got them at the store, i have no idea if they are high quality pineapples, and why are you putting the word pineapples in quotation marks?

no i just got them at the store. wait a minute how on earth is it even possible to get "special" pineapples? there's no such thing!

whatever dude. i don't think pinapples grow flowers(i'm not sure though) i think they polinate(sp check) within themselves)

thanks lenny for your help. also if anyone wants to know how to grow pineapples, just ask here and i will post all i know about the issue. ok?

o, and these are the pics of my pineapples

I thought Marijuana was more like a fern?

o really? does weed have bulbs at the bottom? if not look again!

HA! I just got a vision of my Mum's Daffodil and Crocus and Snowdrop bulbs growing into Weed... :)

what do you mean?

I haven't the foggiest. I forget...I was thinking of someone. Thinking very hard...I nearly said "Hi" to them too...but I was thinking too hard and they went offline.

I don't see why it isn't possible for a Daffodil bulb to grow, open it's petals, and sprout Marijuana. Or for a Tulip to pop open and sprout a Spiny Apple.

Shut up.

why the hell is every one always telling me to shut up?! i wasn't talking to you titusfied!!! i was talking to lenny!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!

edit: wait, you were talking to me, right?

lol

I think it be wise if you just ignore most things Titus posts. :)

How are the Spinyapples doing?
