Root rot :(

I believe I have a case of root rot. Pic attached. I just added Orca in the morning, and noticed orange foam and these roots literally hours later. Water was still under 70 from the res change sunday afternoon. Currently 68. I rinsed in tap, they look a little better. ;(

@agricola Hi mate yes that is root rot and is more than liely caused from your nutrient solution being too warm When I grow with DWC I like to keep mine at around 17-18c as this keeps the plant happy as well as inhibiting the bad rot fom growing It can also act as a buffer if you have a slight temp spike it won't go into the danger zone but if you keep your res warmer than say 19 you run the risk of rot if it wanders higher over time . Also what is orca? is it organic? Dont mix organic with synthetics in hydro it rarely ends well

Most rot will happen at temps over 21c I keep mine at 19 to 20 I.e cooler turns on when it hits 20 to bring it back down to 19. You can try silver bullet to kill it off but tbh with you at week 1 just bin and go again. Or you will spend the next 2 months struggling. Also try using hydro guard you will never have a problem when using hydro guard . Also if you can invest in a good water cooler and keep the temp below 21. Sorry for your loss bro, but it’s all a learning curve.
