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.

Should I quit, and start over? Still not out if it's root rot or just coloration from the larvea. Hydroponics had larvea infestation. Used h2o2, 2 days later my roots looked like photo #1. Now 4 days later, same roots look like #2. Had pH problems. lowered now. Gon look if its stable tomorrow. They should be ready to flip now. All other pics are also from today. Should I continue?

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
