Thanks all!

Hello.. Hope you are well.. Ur best bet its too wash roots out in plain water at ph6.. Get a bucket and place roots into it.. Make sure ur water wash temp is equivalent to ur res temp and gently place in water and use a jug to gentle pour clean water n get all crap off roots.. It shud mostly come away as its just a big build up of coagulated nutes that have bonded.. Keep ur res tank cleaner with this same method throughout ur growing in hydroponics set ups.. Stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀

Hi mate its 100 % root rot, happened to me many times. If you live in a hot climate country dwc is a problem. I live in a country with high temps and always no matter what I did these months that was the result, you need a cooler. If heat is not the case then you dont have enough oxygen in the water. What you can do. In my experience there are not many things to be done here. H2O2 wont do shit, the best option is cut the infected roots and start a soilless system with piranha, tarantula voodo juice or similar stuff. I always used Advanced Nutrients. Hope was helpfull.

Glad to report that they are NOT slimy. Should I dilute nutrients? About 420ppm and 3week old plant. Leaves are light green in color.

Doesn't look good, bud. Is it slimy? If not it is just nutrients staining them. Slimy would be bad and verifiy with more certainty.
hydrogen peroxide? chlorine? i don't run dwc or have a tank, so i can't help beyond that. If not slimy, ignore it.

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 rootsMy 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. Plants look a bit sad
Should I be worried?

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

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.

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?

Help with DWCHelp. Need it for DWC. Why are my roots turning brown. They just look weak and not so strong. I can touch them and know they are not healthy. Running 4 buckets with 4inch airstones. I'm nowhere near an expert. Just still learning. I've done a DWC before,never problems .
