How do you know its root rot?
I don't know it is I'm assuming it is from what I've seen I have tried to find pictures on different sites of what it could be and the only one I can link it too is root rot ? I've not experienced this before I'm just assuming it is from what I've found I'm looking for advice or someone that can diagnose what it could be ?
I'm sorry friend, I can't see anything on your plants. What exactly is giving you a problem?

Fungus gnats will do that and worse, they love coco. Nematodes will completely destroy them but cost a bit of money ... the $30 I spend on em have been worth it every damn time though.
The twisted ends and the sort of rust patches which ain't brown a sort off of ish white ... I've not seen it before
Is there any way I can ride it out for 1 maybe 2 weeks ? Or battle with it it's in coco coir
No it's in coco coir and fabric pots I've removed one root ball and had a look around the outside of the rootball and there's no rotten smell or mulch roots around unless it's in the centre where the stem it protruding shall I have a dig around in there more thoroughly ?
I thought this and have tried to get more air to it to dry it out I did notice that compared to the other plants it size and age it's rootball wasn't as dried back as this one it was heavy as if it hadn't drink anything while the others were lightOverwatering is the biggest cause or root issues.

I won't rule out over watering, but in fabric pots they would need to be stood in water to really get nasty. The chance of root rot seem low, under the circumstances. Still.. dead leafs rolling up, generally is a fungus sign. Of which there are a few. Something within the stem could kinda mimic root rot, by interfering. You might find the ring of death, once you chop one in half. Fusarium wilt
Note how in this case, it looks like nothing got up from the root, as it destroyed the stalk below. Then as the leaf died, it was eaten away, causing curling. It's perhaps not Fusarium you have, but this is what internal molds can do.

I have had one hit results, that lasted, using neem. However it's hard to say if it's cheaper. A little bottle costs a fiver, and treats maybe 100L of compost. At a push.
It's something like a teaspoon in a liter jug, and that might do 2 or 3 10L pots. I can never remember, but it's on here somewhere.
Is there any way to combat it and do you reckon I could hold out for 10 days ? I don't wanna pull before atleast 60 days and it's 59 todayI won't rule out over watering, but in fabric pots they would need to be stood in water to really get nasty.

If it’s root rot get on yer hands n knees pull her out the pot a bit n give it a whiff. Owt that’s rotten has a honk to it. I’ll be honest, I’ve only been growing in earnest since 2020 though, I’ve only ever seen root rot from the media less hydro folks.
Your pots are raised and not sat in their run off or owt are they? If your sure it’s root problems and there no microherd to worry about then h2o2 I believe can be used

Yes you should certainly be able to ride it out for that long. As others have said smell the roots. If the wilt spreads to other branches you might as well chop. Examine the vascular tissue when you cut affected branches. Orange to brown tissue are signs of fusarium. If that's the case good luck b/c the shit is tenacious and comes back seemingly regardless of sterilization procedures.
