I then proceeded to cut off all roots and rotten material with a new razor blade for each and hosed them clean. Then I treated the really bad rot with Gentian Violet and let them dry and went back to the party again.
Finally they were all transferred to disposable 12-16 ounce cups with nutrient solution.

Sun rm N.E., I was just re-reading this thread and realized I must have missed a few of the posts. Do you mean that after you do the nutrient solution with KLN and then the Phsysan treatment that you cut off ALL good and bad roots before putting it into its new growing culture?
