Well, first off, very nice job so far. Plants look great.

Couple comments. As far as your root rot goes, I would say it's in the early stages and still very fixable. I add about 30 ml per gallon (so 180 ml for your whole res) of 3% hydrogen peroxide whenever I see the first sign of rot.

A Couple steps to prevention. Stop letting your water sit out. Any chlorine in the water will dissipate within about 30 min in your tank. If you can taste the chlorine in your water, go to a pet supply store and get some fish tank water adjustment drops for when your starting a new aquarium. That should take quick care of it. Stagnant water is no good... your letting it fill up with all kinds of mold and bacteria floating around in your house. pH adjust the water to 5.8 then put it in. Step two- More bubbles, add an extra airpump and airstone or three and your water temps will come down to the point where pythium (root rot) won't be a problem. If that doesn't bring the water temps down to about 65 then add frozen water bottles throughout the day till you can add enough air to the water or bring the ambient air temp closer to 65 continuesly which would keep your res temp a little cooler (with the added air).

Oh and your plants look a bit streched, you want those lights within a couple inches of your plant. You should be moving them everyday. Good luck Bro.

Man i really appreciate it. im getting more bubbles stat. and ill do the 180ml of h202. and only let my new water sitout for 30 min. I always PH to 5.7-5.9.

Yah they aren't bushy because first of all, they were clones and i knew nothing about cloning then so they took a while to even get going and then i heard a serious lack of light issue. i have a decent amout of light now with lots more on the way. you can how much bushier it is at the top rather than below. i just wait for my next grow, im gonna get 2 more bubbleponics system or make my own

They may be a little stretched due to lack of light, but they are very healthy and green looking to me. Growing is a learning experience and you are learning very fast!
Good looking grow, man.

Hey c5rftw, how's that root rot working out for you? Asking because I noticed the faint algae smell this morning and immediately flooded with H2O2; mine is in the exceedingly early stages, but I was wondering how yours reacted to the H2O2 and more bubbles.

Its working really well even though i didn't get to mine until browning had been developing for 2 weeks... i haven't got more bubbles yet. its really important to get the temps down.. oxygen helps with that

I followed you guy's advice and got a bigger air pump. I went from a low amount of little bubbles to a lot of big bubbles. i got 2 air stones and got this air pump for 22$ at wal-mart.. Hope it helps

sorry for shitty pic quality.. its a tetra 60gal pump
