started some wiliams wonder from rez in peat pellets. got 9 out of ten healthy
babies . planted in gro rock hydro system. water was on nonstop for a week,
my fault, to hot I think to. all the roots are brown and slimed, wondering if there are any products out there I could dip them in or water with? I also can transplant into any recommended medium as they have no root base. any ideas would help, been waiting a long time to get the willie. With the recent price drop it was like christmas. every morning I look at them and want to cry. thanks for any ideas that would save a life :badday:

thow a bunch in there, this is something you cant actualy OD on....
put a 1/2 cup if it smells bad... if they turn a brighter green the next day somthing worked.

my rez is 12 gallons. No Od on the o2o2, thanks . When I bought it a couple years ago for a top drip recirculatory system the merchant told me it was good for cleaning out the lines. Told me to wear eye protection and gloves. sounded
toxic, think I gave it away. thanks for the help.

Cannazym eats rotten roots, turning them into food, Rhizotonic boosts new root growth, but I am pretty sure o2o2 will kill the Cannazym or any other living product, so do not use them at the same time.

Hygrozyme. I am a skeptic of new products and extras, (there is a lot of snake oil out there) but It only took one grip to be sold on hygrozyme. 130$gallon yes, worth it especially in your case, yes. It will break down old roots and encourage new growth. Also root growth comes out fat and plentiful My root mass in peat has become so nice that I've taken to washing off the soil after done and observing the rootmass for kicks as it is so plentiful and healthy. I removed the soil from a 14" finished cut from a 2gall pot and the root mass was about 18" long white and thick. I have also had very good luck with root juice to encourage new growth. Both can be had in small bottles.
