Root Health Concerns
Scrubbyjimbobanswered grow question 3 months ago
I can't say for sure that it's root rot, but things aren't looking too healthy either. Stained for sure.
With root rot you'll usually see slime develop over your roots and they start breaking down, at least in my experience with it. Your reservoir looks rather full in the pic.
I usually like several inches between my solution and the bottom of the net pot.

Looks rather nasty but, as Hashy says, we can't smell it. Add a good measure of Hydrogen Peroxide into your bucket - I'd go for at least 1/4 cup - it won't harm the plant and it WILL benefit the roots... You should be adding in at least 1T of it every time you add water/nutes...

If it is rot or not I'm not sure, but healthy roots should be white, not brown.

if it smells bad it could be rot but usually this might come from overfeeding or bad bubbles

If the Roots have slime on them usually brown and there is an off smell coming from them then it's root rot. If no slime and no smell then it's nutes staining them. I can't see any slime on the pic, and I can't smell an off smell from the picture 🤣.

i dont know much about hydro. but yes it looks like root rot. what are you using for nutrients? i believe you should be running synthetic. sometimes the roots will color deoending on what youre using but they look dry, dead and or dying
