hello everyone, first time dwc and I can't say if these are rot roots or just the reservoir water colour tha changed because of fertz. No smell, no slime roots, no particular simptoms, just one has brown dots in a couple of leaf and a bit of light burn.
Open
Leaves. Edges burnt
Roots. Color - Brown
Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Seems like the nutrients just changed the color of the roots. Both of my grows have looked like this. If you're concerned, look up using peroxide in your system. I use Hydroguard as my temps can get a little warm and I haven't had an issue. Hydroguard - https://www.amazon.com/Botanicare-Hydroguard-Quart/dp/B01B8LYCXK

Without a diary its hard to say. Could be tinted from the nutes. If its not got slime or doesn't smell its probably not rot. I recommend a product called hydroguard, always been good for my dwc.

To be sure add 0.1 ml/l of h202 of 10 or 12 volumes concentration , it adds oxygen and prevent bud rot. The stains on leaved could have been from spraying during lights on. Did you do some foliar recently?

I'm not to skilled in DWC, but to me it looks like its just getting tinted from the feed. but would be good to know if you are running an enzyme though your system to help clean up old dead growth? and are you cleaning your tanks every 2 weeks min? Good Luck!
