Yes, this is the root. The plant should pop through the top soon enough. And yes, the root will grow down before the seedling emerges through the surface. Hope this helps,........ Organoman.

You need to decrease your ph down to 5.8 and your ec up a little 5 to 600 ppm 1.0 to 1.2 ec. When new growth gets better then increase your feed 100 ppm every week until you hit 8, maybe 900 ppm, 1.8 ec. When you switch to flower you need to then decrease your bloom nutes to 1.4 or 5 ec 700 to 750 ppm. Work your way up every week 100 ppm until you reach 8 or 900. Cheers

You need a full res change. That will probably solve all your problems. Check my GDP diary veg weeks 4 and 5. Same issue.

Hey man, Not to fear this is normal if you are using some kind of feed that stains your reservoir. If you want fresh white healthy roots your going to haveto find some hydroponic nutrients that are clear after adding to the water. It is defenatly not root rot. You are highly unlikely to get root rot in a dwc system as there is too much movement an air passing through the root system at all times not allowing any nasties to settle :) as you can tell its not effecting growth in anyway. Ive been growing dwc for around 2 years on here now and I run into this problem early on i switched nutes and have not had any problems since. also you must be aware that over time the roots will change colour anyway they will go from bright white to a more orangey browny kind of colour towards the end of a grow and this again is compleatly normal and does not effect growth in anyway. Something you can do is add a small donunt humidifier to the bucket when the lids are closed this would constantly mist the top half of the bucket encourage more root growth overall :) Hope this helps Happy cultivation.

no comments here, looking good, well venttilated,

Your res will tell you. If your EC is 1.18 and dropping daily, then yes, feed more. If it's 1.18 and rising, then you are feeding too much and need to lower your EC. When your EC remains constant (or close to) day after day you will know that you are feeding at appropriate levels. Large fluctuations in heat, RH, or pH could affect this so hopefully your indoor environment is pretty stable.

certainly looks like it my friend :) your bang on. though I would check your soil is getting enough oxygen too that can have similar symptoms. shes a big lady I'm not surprised good training job :)

For sure, a few more weeks my friend Don’t do like me, I have harvested my first plant too soon
