Yes, I cleaned them up no slime anywhere anymore. Immediately after I did that the plant was droopy.
Today the plant is dry and crispy. It's over, I'm sad. The pH and temps are right.
2 culprits, humidity was way too high for a bit, I fixed it to no avail. I also lowered the res water level so that only the tip of the main root ball can reach the water after I cleaned. Before it was submerged until the clay balls, now it's way lower. I don't know what went wrong ... I'm thinking maybe it's dry and crispy because it couldn't get enough water with the lower res level?

kinda looks that way.
after you fix root rot, you've got to baby them back to life. like 200 to 300 ppms max if that much. and raise the light up too or dim it.
what nutes are you using again?

GH nutes but a lot of different products. Did a quick res change right now with just the flora trio and cal/mag with is the base line. I wonder if it will show in the next few hours if there is a change.

I didn't, was very careful with the dose

They are white and no slime left. I wonder if the cause might the the lower water res though. Could it be that it can't get enough water with just the tip of the main root submerged in water? It's so small, seems unlikely

i would go with just 1mL per gallon of micro/grow and bloom each.
take it easy on them and they should recover as long as the roots stay healthy

keep about a 1 to 2 inch air gap b/t the pot and water
