What is this white Gel on the roots?

UC ROOTS is a multipurpose root zone optimizer that uses proprietary chemistry to aid in mineral descaling and the removal of potentially harmful biofilms in nutrient reservoirs. By reducing the potential habitat for plant pathogens, UC ROOTS has been shown to aid in root development

Add 1-3mL of UC ROOTS per gallon of nutrient solution every 5- 7 days if nutrient temps are below 68°F or every 1-3 days if nutrient temps exceed 76° F.

Rinsed the roots off and got all of the gunk off. ( came right off, peroxide and water change maybe?) It has been changed into a black bucket, cleaned and less powered nutes. Now going to let it be and the UC roots will here in a couple of days.

So the start of the problem, last night, and this morning. That was the quickest lift and snap ever. :zany_face: I didn’t want to expose them to light for long but wanted to see if they had the alien glob back. what do you all think? Think she will be ok? UC is on the way.

How much 3% H2O2 have you used and how high are you filling the bucket?

3 tsp of 3% H2O2 and I only put 3 gallons of water in. Water isn’t touching basket. Do I need to put less water?

Water should be 2 inches away from basket minimum. If you at least that far your good.

Yeah that’s never good.

Update on the roots, I haven’t put anymore peroxide on them, because I figured that the UC roots would be here by now. It’s not but the roots seem to be ok and have new ones coming in. That’s a good sign right? The gel isn’t back. (knock on wood) Hope everyone had a good 4th.
