Lack of oxygen in the root zone. Make sure your water is about 20 degrees Celsius. 3% hydrogen peroxide in water mix will add oxygen to roots. Adding an air stone to feed air to roots constantly is probably the best idea. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

are the roots slimey or just brown. Some Nutrient can stain your roots brown. if it is slimey then it can be caused by lack of bubbles. Water temperature above 70f can caise it. light leaks are the main causes.

Persistent issues - wilted leaves, light-green splotches, brown roots My 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 responding

help in Hydro RDWC/DWC Hello, my plants are now about 4 weeks old. The leaves droop and curl. The spots on the leaves are increasing. Is the PPM value too high? It's 1000ppm tds They grow in an RDWC system with top feed. The top feed is permanently switched on. Can that lead to problems?

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.
