Ok so my plants still look very healthy and i still see some growth. However my roots went from bright white to being a little brown. I really dont want to lose this harvest due to root rot. I think i might be overreating a little bit but dont know. I am using advanced nutrients and am growing in a hydro setup and i have heard the nutes will turn the roots a little brown which is what the roots look like now a little brown. Can you guys give me some details on how to know if your getting root rot, what causes root rot, and how to cure it. I have heard some h2o2. The main thing i want to know is how can you tell your getting root rot so i will know at an early stage and catch it and fix it at the early stage and not have my ladies die

sounds normal. Dark nutes will tint roots.

first off are u using enzymes ? i reccomend you allways use enzymes when doing hydo , what it does is break down the dead root mass and turns it into food for the plant, they only way to prevent it is to make sure no light is getting into your res and make sure your water is active , you have air stones yeah ?... u will know its root rot because you will see alot of sludge on your walls and allover your roots

Ok i checked my roots this morning when i woke up and they are alot browner then yesterday i dont know if this is becasue i used superthrive or not. The superthrive is really brown so im thinking it may have just turned my roots brown. The walls of my res are not slimy and my roots are not really slimy its just turning a darker brown color
