I believe that is just likely coloration from nutrition. Only the tips of roots need to be in contact with water. I personally try to keep roots to grow stocky and shorter the first few weeks. So I actually would clip the tip off the lowest part of the root. This will make the root spread out more instead of down deep right away. It will also promote more roots to grow out of the basket. I had rot issues in my first dwc grows. It will stink, and be slimy. Do not use hydrogen peroxide unless you are for sure. It also kills any healthy cultures you have started is why.

There's nothing to worry about, it doesn't appear twisted or slimy. The spot might be due to water nuts and clay dust, likely because the water level is on that spot.

hello! if it's slimy and the roots feel mushy then its root rot but could also be colored fertilizer or dust from the claypebbles u maybe forgot to wash.
if it's root rot make sure that
a: pump is ALWAYS!!!!!!! on, bubbles need to be there all the time.
b: water temperature is really important. above 25Celcius water temperature there will be root rot. optimal temp is around 23Celcius because there is the biggest amount of oxygen for the roots.
c: water level should be high enough so the roots hit the water, the little netcup should NOT touch the water.
d: (probably not but) bad bacteria from too much light coming in or something else. you can drop in some hydrogen peroxide to clean the tank, no hydroguard or something else is needed, if you keep a, b and c in check.
i hope this helps! i had also problems with my first DWC grow, u can look at it, how i fixed it and how it looked.
Happy growing my friend (:

Outdoor ideasQuick question to any guerrilla growers: I have found an ideal location that’s good for light and hidden. But when I dig the soil down about 1ft water starts to appear, any ideas because I really don't want to have to give up the location because of it...

Hey guys! started week 5! She’s looking great, nice and healthy. I’m concerned with the amount of roots growing out the bottom of the pot, should I be worried about this? Or would this be where the roots self prune and this encourages more root growth within the pot? Thanks!

Should I repot at day 18?Should I repot to a pot of 15-20l? I'm kinda regretting I planted it in a pot with +-4l of soil. I want to plant her out in full ground around week 5 when the belgian weather starts getting milder, and I'm not sure if it's worth repotting now for another 2-3w, given the risk.

B.A.C Funky Fungi (mycorrhiza)Tell me, in my new cycles I want to use B. A. C. Funky Fungi (mycorrhiza). How better should I do this? As I understood bio grains in dry form should be added to the new top layer of the substrate 2 centimeters, per 1 plant about 5 grams of bio grains of mold fungi.
