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

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

Root rot even using a little water. Can't help It!In my second try I still had troubles with root rot by overwatering issues. This time I waited even 3/4 between waterings (half liter for plant) but soil never ever dried properly. Next time I'll use Light mix, grow shop pots and practice patience. What else do you advice peep?

help in Hydro RDWC/DWC Hello, 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?

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.

Clones have browned roots My clones have started to sprout my first roots luckily enough although yesterday I made a mistake by leaving them outdoors with the dome off my roots have browned and I suspect it’s from sunlight/wind, new roots are white it seems.

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?

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

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?

DWC - root video, h2o2 issue Yet 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. -- MORE DETAILS IN COMMENT --
