What do you think about these leaves?

Maybe nute burn?

And about these roots?


They float, they are brownish, and the roots/plant doesnt grow anymore.
 
Do you know the temp of your water?

I have experienced root rot a few times and its never made my plant look like that. Mine will droop and start yellowing.

Well my friend i dont think you have root rot, the roots look a little too white for that, you could always give your plants roots air baths to make them feel special. Plus you always get a little discoloration from nutes. Anyways get them another air pump to help combat that.

About nute burn, a simple and effective way I use to look for nute burn is to check the leaf tips first, leaf tips curling down (looking like a claw) nute burn, leaf tips curling UP light burn, but maybe more people could weigh in on this

Yesterday I switched to pure tap water with hygrozine. I also added a huge airstone and an extra air pump as depicted in those photos. The roots arnt as healthy to me as they were when I started, they break easy and float. could it be that i burned the roots with nutrients??? I think if the water is dirty today ill change it again, then bring nutes upto 600ppm. I have two stunted plants in the res that have to use lower nute levels, to combat nute deficiency in the two bigger plants i foliage spray.
