Root rot using Botainicare nutrients?

Momma_munchiestarted grow question a year ago

Help! Do I have root rot? I've followed botanicares nutrient line to a T for week 3. I grow in DWC. My humidity is 65% water temp is 70, ppm 1060. Is it just due to my nutrient line being more brown colored? My first time in hydro.

if not slimy or stinky, probably just stained.

Possibly also needs more oxygen to the solution (more bubbles). Yes 1060 is to high. Also your humidity is way too high. Needs to be around %40 at all times. Don't go below %35

Probably stains from nutes if they’re colored similar. 1060 is quite high for such a small root mass. I’d consider toning that down quite a bit

That looks more like stains from the nutrients rather then root rot. Make sure you have a gap between the bottom of the net pot to the top of the water level.

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!

DWC - root video, h2o2 issue Yet 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. -- MORE DETAILS IN COMMENT --

Root rot?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

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?
