Root rot?
Misanthropestarted grow question 4y ago
Roots are brown but don't feel slimy and give off no odour. New root growth is virgin white. Could it be discoloration from the nutrient solution or is it the dreaded root rot? pH is constant 5.9-6.1...I added 5mL/gallon hydrogen peroxide to be safe

Did you wash the pebbles first? Mine do that if I don’t wash them good enough. Think it’s just substrate discoloration.

That don't look healthy 😬 I would say it root rot but I could be wrong

Rootrot?I've been feeding her with great white from above, and some of the roots have a brown slimy lump on them. When I water from above on the clay pebbles and let the water run down to the roots, some of the lumps come off and all the roots look bright white. Is this the beginning of root rot?6d ago

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.

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.

Roots getting brownMy 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!

help in Hydro RDWC/DWCHello, 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?

How can I fix this from happening.I have some root issues, I recently upped the PPM in my tank, and since then my roots have started going very brown.
