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 after res changes
So I changed my reservoir water yesterday after about 9 days recovery from the case of root rot I had, and now it looks like it’s trying to come back. Water temps are low at 61 F right now. What can I do to stop this going forward?

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.

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?

Rotten roots
Crescita rallentata. Sembrava andare tutto nel verso giusto invece la radici della mia white wid dwc hanno subito l'attacco di un batterio che le fa andare in putrefazione e non riesco in nessun modo a eliminarlo, ho eliminato un po di marciume ma credo che ormai sia compromessa
