if your getting root rot then you have light getting into the air tube as light is getting at it, thing with dwc is you have to keep things clean including having a spare bucket that you switch out with the other so you can keep things clean, i would clean every thing and then i would run just plan water for a few days and you should leach out any of the nutrients that is causing the black build up, dwc buckets and air lines have to be cleaned, now things makes sense as i seen your other question. as far as root rot it looks like your roots are fine, if you have root rot you would know cause they smell real bad,
smell your roots to see

Yep, the peroxide will help. I personally use hydroguard which is great if your reservoir is running above 70°F.

Hey
So using the peroxide can definitely help...but it's really a short fix to a long problem. You'd be best off using that briefly and then picking up some root shield. Those BioWorks products are a bit spendy but they work very good. Can you order anything out of the country?
If you use the rot stop maybe apply the lowest recommended dose, clean all your tank and equipment and see if you can find any trichoderma products in your area to use alongside the rot stop.👍
Good luck.

DWC - Roots look badHi guys, this autoflower is 44 days from dry seed, flowering begins 3 weeks ago. It's drinking around 0.5 lt every 2 or 3 days, not so much compared to my old autoflowers. I checked roots and I saw this, they look "fried" and brown. Should I remove it? Can I get a decent result?

Root problem or not?I would like to know if this discolouration because of the clay pebbles sitting constantly in the DWC pool and colouring the roots or from nutrients or is this a root problem? There is no slimy thing or bad smell or stunt growth which can be detected.

DWC - root video, h2o2 issueYet another anxiety, I hope it is nothing special. But prevention is better than cure and here you all know more than I do!
I added 10ml of 3% H2O2 inside the DWC through the control tube, after a few seconds there was a strange chemical reaction.

Is this a sign of root rot? How to save the plant?2 weeks after germination: the base of my plant's stem has a dark color which I think may be root rot. The rest looks very healthy. How can I make sure it is rot? Is peroxide/water solution really helpful if that's the problem?

Root rot?Roots are brown but don't feel slimy and give off no odour. New root growth is virgin white. Could it be discoloration from the nutrient solution or is it the dreaded root rot? pH is constant 5.9-6.1...I added 5mL/gallon hydrogen peroxide to be safe
