Default Cleaning up the corm

hello,
i have a dwarf cavendish that got real bad rot when i put him into hydroponics from soil. I cut back all the rotted roots and just recently started to cut back some portions of the corm where rot was evident. i have the plant bubbling in water with hydrogen peroxide, hydroponic nutrient and a pinch of this root growing powder all in a little mug under my grow light. i would like to know if it is ok to cut back on the corm to remove dead tissue? and since i have already done this, should i leave him bubbling in the mug? he is under my grow light and looks like he is slowly making a recovery. however, now there are no roots at all and i have removed a small portion of the corm. any suggestions? thank you.
