The other thing to mention is that if it’s not drinking through the roots she can still take in moisture through leaves. Increasing humidity can help her through any struggles down below, whereas if it’s dry it only makes it harder.

Really good eye @vegetato … and great response for the solutions he can take as well.
@Mookie it’s gonna be okay! You got this! She might not have grown a lot up top but I think mine was kinda similar, she didn’t do too much for a couple of days until I noticed root down towards the water. Plus, if you look closely at your plant there are 2 new leaves forming the opposite way of your first two… so she’s growin 
Not a lot, but you can definitely see a change from monday until today.

I’m on an Island right now and can’t find any h2o2 no where due to covid. Is there any other solution I can use or could just Hydroguard work? I can order on amazon but that takes awhile and I would like to act fast. Thank you for your fast response.
Awesome! I’ll do the solution @vegetato suggested and see if that helps with faster grow as well. Thank you as well for your help.
If your tap water has some chlorine in it that might be better than nothing, just rinse off the slime with that.

Another option is to use ZeroTol HC instead of hydroguard. It will kill both good and bad stuff, but it will keep your water clean and clear. Definitely start with @vegetato suggestion.

2/14 Early Veg
Update!!! Everyone we may have saved her or until the next situation occurs 
took me three hours to complete the cleaning/disinfecting but worth it!!! No sleep team 
She has her second leaves coming in but she is pretty small. I think she is resilient but has gone through a lot of stress from the start. I’ll keep reviving if I can complete my first grow with something in the end. Hope she stay

Day 4/14 veg
I feel she is growing really slow and haven’t shown a full root just yet. Is this a problem or should I just give her more time?

She seems like she’s going a little slower than mine was… Here’s a pic of mine on 4/14 Early Veg: [quote=“pyromancy, post:42, topic:7686”]

I can’t say whether or not you’ll be having problems or if she is just a slow grower…Maybe someone else can chime in on this one…

Still going… I’m ending Day 24 in about 3 1/2 hours and starting Day 25.

Hey buddy! She is looking alright, maybe a bit of a slow grower. Just be patient and continue to give her the best environment you can. These plants are very resilient and she will pull thru!

I haven’t had good success with Hydroguard. I still had a persistent case of root rot on my first grow. However I found a similar product called Hygrozyme that has worked well for me. Maybe try this out.
