AmnZhzanswered grow question 4 years ago Hi there, I used to grow in DWC but where I live we have a hot climate. Usually in DWC when things happen is due to root root, great unbalance of ph, too many nutes, or cyanobacteria. Most of the times I got root rot due to high temps in the grow room. Root rot shows signs of many deficiencies, nute burns, whatever bad you can think of. So I would suggest first of all check the roots for the rot signs and smell them, root rot has a very distinct smell. If that is not the case, change a the reservoir with phed water and maybe a quarter of the minimum nute strength.
