My first DWC grow.

Hi.
I'm 4th week of veg and i have had a little problem earlier explaining her stunted grow, but i'm in no hurry ;)

My problem was droopy leafs
https://www.rollitup.org/t/my-lady-seems-a-little-sad.981895/

Now it seems like it's ok
Tent temp is 27C
Water 20,5C
RH 50-55%
Ph 5,8
EC .89
Been adding 4 drops of bleach every 24h

When i look at the roots i see the first root is Mildly tanned.
New roots are white
No root slime, tanned feels like the white ones.
No strange smell.

Should i be concerned about the tanned roots?
Maybe cut them?

Advice much appreciated.

It's looking good though. Get in there and cut all those lower branches that have no chance of ever beecoming anything worth keeping around

They look perfectly fine to me! Like airwalk said if your nutes have any colour at all to them you're going to see it on some of the roots after some time. I try to watch for the lateral roots that start dying off from the bottom few inches of the roots for concerns, yours look very happy. Also I don't know your light schedule but if you're running 24/0 if so it could be that the plants are still going to sleep with the lights on causing the droopyness, and I would check to see if it's around the same time everyday because that would be my guess. Cheers

P.S you going to LST that baby? I wouldn't remove the lower branches if so they will equal out eventually.
 
Yeah!.
I use Plant Magic enzymes, guess that's the reason for coloring the roots (PL enzymes is brown liquid).
Not going to LSt, think i might go for a SCROG.
Anyway,,, she looks real fine today. I had finally dialed in the nutes.
Did second topping today so i guess she will be slow now for a couple of days.

Thanks for input!
Cheers!

They look fine ... if you are concerned you can cut that section out ... in my experience they grow back fast

They're all good bro. Don't cut anything yet, every leaf helps create more growth at this stage. I had really brown roots for the whole grow. No problens at all... Youre doing the right things but try leave the roots alone as much as you can and try to get a steralizing additive that lasts a bit longer than a day like Pythoff or hydroguard.
