The colour in the root may just be from the nutes you are feeding it... If it feels slimy or disintegrates when touched it is probably rotted... Also use your nose, the human brain has evolved to let you know if anything has started to go bad

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!
