I tried some myco tea on my rooted cuttings and they got brown roots.
I can’t say if it was the tea or if I put too much nutrients in the bottom of the tray for the roots to wick from.
I sterilized the tray,rez, and I used 50/50 water with 3% peroxide to drench the cubes and roots.
They don’t smell like root rot yet and are taking up nutrients but not like healthy white roots.
I could transplant into fresh coco and they would likely recover.
I don’t have any water in the tray hoping that letting them dry out a bit more before wet cycle brings back white healthy roots but I am thinking of taking another set of cuttings from mothers and starting over with fresh cuttings.
I don’t know if it’s possible to cure brown roots that are almost slimy?
Some growers use perlite in the bottom of tray to help roots reach nutrients in the bottom without overwatering but curing brown roots I have no idea.
