Hello friend.. I might have mentioned before but Hydroguard and UC roots are essential to hydroponics
PlaguedGardensanswered grow question 5y ago
Based on the look and you stating that they smell, I would say that's root rot.
Do you have a lot oxygen where the roots are sitting?
Are you using beneficial bacteria such as hydroguard?
Does the reservoir allow light to penetrate into the water?
How warm is the water?

They arent just sitting in water. The waters aerated. Thats what hydroponics is..

Woodworking or fungal attack?I was away from home for 3 days, once I got back I saw those damned mushroom midgets that were already near the carrots for irrigation.
I fear that 2 plants (the largest) have hurt.
Possible fungal infection?
Details and other photos in the diary. Thanks for the help/support.

Roots mushyNon ho trovato nessun rimedio al problema delle mie radici. Continuano a deteriorarsi. Purtroppo credo di aver commesso qualche errore le prime 2 settimane nella pulizia del serbatoio, poco accurata. Imparerò da quest'errore. Vale la pena continuare? Tks
