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

Rotten rootsSlow growth. Everything seemed to be going in the right direction, but the roots of my white widow DWC have been attacked by a bacteria that is causing them to rot, and I can't seem to get rid of it in any way. I've removed some of the rot, but I believe it's already compromised.

Hey Guys, So I've been putting house and gardens amino treatment and root accelerator gold into my res and now I'm paranoid I have root rot. res is hella cold at 63 usually and they don't seem to be slimy aside from the gunk on them that I think is those additives. Is it normal?6y ago

Persistent issues - wilted leaves, light-green splotches, brown rootsMy plant has these issues. I've rinsed off the roots in case it was nutrient buildup on roots, which I still believe to be the case. I have given this plant a good amount of nutrients the week before. Does this appear to be a deficiency? Any ideas?
Thanks all for responding6y ago

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.

Root rot even using a little water. Can't help It!In my second try I still had troubles with root rot by overwatering issues. This time I waited even 3/4 between waterings (half liter for plant) but soil never ever dried properly. Next time I'll use Light mix, grow shop pots and practice patience. What else do you advice peep?![2nd try. White Widow + Strain [Coco Coir / Soil mix]](https://bucket.growdiaries.com/static/post/photo/228620/10303587_92956331e6b5bb5d1d3fa46891aba031_m.jpg)
