I believe it is just the coloring of the nutrition you are seeing. Can always lower solution level if needed.

Root rot even using a little water. Can't help It!In my second try I still had troubles with root rot by overwatering issues. This time I waited even 3/4 between waterings (half liter for plant) but soil never ever dried properly. Next time I'll use Light mix, grow shop pots and practice patience. What else do you advice peep?
