ok Just a FYI

After 6 months of being opening hydro guard isn’t really good anymore… Bottle needs to be replaced if not all used

From my personal testing Hydro guard isn’t as effective at temps 75 plus… This maybe the roots of the problem…

But honestly they don’t look terrible yet but you need to watch them when you see them twisting together it’s getting bad

I would increase your dose to 15 ml

Here is a readme on root rot

Didn’t you just recently transplant that plant from the Start into your Grobo?
