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 (:

Tipped, Squashed Plant, Wobbly Trunk - Will it Survive?Plant fell over and squashed against itself.
The base of the trunk is wobbly but still attached deep down.
I've packed soil around the base of the trunk to reinforce.
I'm about 2 weeks from chop and want to know if it's worth harvesting now or if plant/yield will be fine?

Super low runoff PH, even after corrective measures being taken. Plant otherwise okay, but probably isn't taking all her nutrients.My runoff PH has been hitting mid-5s, even after flushing (w/ & w/o additive). Been trying to raise with higher PH water, used 7.25PH water today and the runoff was still 5.56. She looks healthy other than some discoloration in some leaves, so it isn't killing her but.....????4 years ago

Roots showingI'm in a pickle. I just lst'd and flushed this little one, picked her up and notice those little tips. How long can it survive in this planter? I really don't want to transplant into a bigger pot. Could I just tape it off 😂 till the stem stiffs up and soil dries?

- Can I still get the PH of the soil to drop? Or has this ship sailed? Is it worrysome, since I always make sure the PH of my feeding-water is about 6,5? Will they take up enough nutrients if the water's PH is OK?Week 7
