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.

Roots getting brown
My Ph probe didn't work, PH was at least more than 0.30 (maybe 0.60) than displayed. As a result they had multiple chlorosis, now septoria leaf spots and possible Pythium since the roots are getting brown. What would you do to save the crop ? Adding mycorrhizae? Thx!

Root Rot?
Is this root rot? I have fixed my temps in the last 4 days. I am already using H&G Roots Excelurator. Is Hydroguard better or should I use both? I also tried fixing light leaks. Any other suggestions?
