Hey guys, i got a girl in a bubbler i got set up and i forgot to put air hose back lastnight when i changed her water out. bout 10 hours no air and root rot set in quick. she started out good too, she wil be 4 weeks in a couple days. ive gently rinsed and tugged off the loose roots but there isnt much left. lost almost half of them. is there anything else i can do and think she will make it? shes a photo, not an auto so im hopeing. thanks

I would leave her alone and hope she starts some new roots.It might set her back a little but I think she will be fine.

change your res, then add ice. new roots will grow and the cold water will slow/stop the root rot get the water temp down to 60-64 and keep it there a couple days. You could also add H2O2 to the water, it will kill the fungus, but you'll have to keep adding some probably weekly thru the rest if the grow.
