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.

Root Debris in DWC. Lots of it. What is causing it? How do I fix it? I don't see root rot at all. It's not really as dark as the picture.Why am I getting so much root debris? The pH is always fluctuating and I can't get it to stabilize. Is this the cause of the weird root debris? My other plant isn't doing it with the same mix and same pH swings. I don't see root rot anywhere. No slime nothin. Just light brown.Week 9
