Yes you’re gonna have some color stain from those nutes. Especially the micro..
I wouldn’t worry about much right now but keep an eye on that darker mass on the left root hanging part.
Plants looking real healthy tho. Maybe just a tiny bit of overfeeding but that’s ok as it’s gonna need those extra nutes in the next week or two as aggressive Veg growth begins

Yes, and I was worried about the same. The darker your Nutes the darker the roots. Smell is a good indicator so use your snoot. My opinion, I think your good. Nice setup by the way. I'm envious. Good luck.

Is this a sign of root rot? How to save the plant?2 weeks after germination: the base of my plant's stem has a dark color which I think may be root rot. The rest looks very healthy. How can I make sure it is rot? Is peroxide/water solution really helpful if that's the problem?

Getting pH spikes from 6.0 to just under 7.0 in 48 hrs, and an algae like dark brown/reddish substance within 48hrs as well. New stones, black buckets, 950 GPH pump feeding 1 stone per bucket. Net pots covered with cardboard. What gives?

DWC - root video, h2o2 issueYet another anxiety, I hope it is nothing special. But prevention is better than cure and here you all know more than I do!
I added 10ml of 3% H2O2 inside the DWC through the control tube, after a few seconds there was a strange chemical reaction.
