Looks almost like root rot. Check if the roots are mushy. Are you using humates? The negative charged particals stick to roots.

I'm using AN MGB , vodoo juice and b52 ,root riot cubes , hydroton , I do have serious pH fluctuations , due to bad ( 8,5 pH , 088 ppm ) water and really small containers which are filled only with 1,4 l solution

Looks like rot, roots should be healthy white. Is there any odour?
No more watering, hopefully it dries out and pulls through.

Hey Guys, So I've been putting house and gardens amino treatment and root accelerator gold into my res and now I'm paranoid I have root rot. res is hella cold at 63 usually and they don't seem to be slimy aside from the gunk on them that I think is those additives. Is it normal?5y ago

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?Week 2

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.

Now 4 days later, same roots look like #2. Had pH problems. lowered now. Gon look if its stable tomorrow. They should be ready to flip now. All other pics are also from today. Should I continue?Roots. Color - Brown

help in Hydro RDWC/DWCHello, my plants are now about 4 weeks old. The leaves droop and curl. The spots on the leaves are increasing. Is the PPM value too high? It's 1000ppm tds
They grow in an RDWC system with top feed. The top feed is permanently switched on. Can that lead to problems?Leaves. Curl down
