hydroponic root rot problem

[sciencekid]

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?

[Lenny]

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?

[sciencekid]

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.

[sciencekid]

so does practically every other thread here.

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

[Penguin]

Who grows pineapples? I want pictures.

[pr0xy]

Are they "special" pineapples?

[Lenny]

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

[sciencekid]

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

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

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?

Are they "special" pineapples?

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!

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

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

[Lenny]

I thought Marijuana was more like a fern?

[sciencekid]

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

[Lenny]

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

[sciencekid]

what do you mean?

[Lenny]

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.

[Titusfied]

Shut up.

[sciencekid]

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?

[Lenny]

lol

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

How are the Spinyapples doing?

[Sovereign]

When you are smoking your 'pineapple', don't lace it. It's starting to show.

[sue_13]

I think you should invite Lenny over for some coffee cakes and bong rips since he is the one that solved your problem.

[sciencekid]

When you are smoking your 'pineapple', don't lace it. It's starting to show.

first off you can't smoke pineapples much less lace them with anything but sugar(to eat, not smoke). second, i had a major homework assignment due the next day, it was at 11:33 pm, and i was cranky because it was late, not because i was smoking anything, duh! i also did not want to take crap from anyone at that moment. third, they are real pineapples, not "pineapples"(i know what you meant by that) or weed like you all have been saying. if you want a birds eye view of the plant to prove it you shall have one(later though, im busy on the internet right now).

I think you should invite Lenny over for some coffee cakes and bong rips since he is the one that solved your problem.

dude, we're like on the opposite sides of the world, and im not going out of the country to visit anyone quite yet. also, what are "bong rips"?

lol

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

i'd say that is wise too.

How are the Spinyapples doing?

well, they are doing fine now that the root rot is gone.

[DaFrigginDoctah]

Where?

[Lenny]

Hahaha! That's so funny. You make me crack up DFD. :)

[khwiii]

...I also thought Strawberries grew on vines, but then found out they do grow on trees.

It's a crazy little world! :D


The strawberries I've grown have been on vines.

[sciencekid]

what is lenny talking about with the strawberries? i thought all the strawberries grow on vines

[Lenny]

I thought they grew on Trees?!

Whatever happened to Strawberry trees?

Don't tell me I've been duped...again!

Bah...the cheeky little devils grow on big bushes. :mad:

[Thanatos]

Man, I've been on pineapples all day.

[Lenny]

I was listening to a song (I Was Only Kidding), and thinking about Strawberry trees. Add the two together, and you get me. :D
