Root rot?
Misanthrope
started 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.

Roots getting brown
My 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!

How long before they die ?
2 of them getting yellower by the day, 3 or 4 of them lost their roots under the pot and they come off very easily. Color is very dark but no slime or foam. It's too bad : I had only 2 weeks and 2 days remaining. Any idea ?

enzymes Komplete for use in DWC bucket or just for cleaning?
My biggest challenge thus far as I already killed one plant is keeping the water temp cold enough. I've tried using enzymesKomplete in the buckets as told by a local hydroponics store and it seems to do lots of harm to the first plant and will not use it with my second seedling.

Qutro
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.

Hola a todos, a ver si me pueden ayudar, creo que algo va mal con mis plantitas, el color está bien, pero se ven caídas y el algo en las raíces pareciera que está cambiando. Subo un par de fotos para que comparen y me digan que está pasando. 😩
