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?

Root rot? How to fix mid flowerWhat is this and how do I fix it! I am mid flower, plant is not drinking as much as usual, there are several "bleached" spots that I haven't been able to account for-- my guess is root rot despite plant otherwise seeming ok.
How do I fix this midflower with home items?

Adding soil to the new roots on stemHello everyone, after the night I noticed that there are a lot of new roots trying to grow from stem. I know this is ok, but I wonder can I add some soil on top of the existing to help develop these roots? Won't it cause stem rot? I want to fill the space in my pot

Thirsty look - exposed rootsMy plant has been looking thirsty but I know it isn't a water problem. Had another look today and saw some roots were poking through the substrate as I suppose every time I water I'm displacing it! I added some more Coco today, but was wondering if it could be anything else?
