Hi guys i need urgent help! Today i noticed my plant didnt drink. Normally they would drink quite a fair bit everyday, i noticed the day before the ppm went up from 1300 to 1500 and i topped up ph adjusted water till 1200ppm. Ph is at 6.1 and adjusted to 5.7
Today i noticed plant didnt drink and ph is 5.8 ppm is 1200ppm.

Plant is droopy all around. This is 3rd week proper into flowering buds forming all around. I'll take pics of plant and roots please any help will be appreciated

looks like she is drowning. lower the water level in the bucket. like you need to have the water level a couple inches below where the bottom of the netpot sits in the bucket, understand?

clean your airstone.. when i ran dwc my airstone always gets gunked up and doesnt make as much air. no O2 to the roots makes plants droopy. just take them out and clean with. I normally go 3/4 bucket for dwc to prevent too much ppm and pH drifts.

if you smell your roots and it smells like ass then its root rot. also you can test by lightly tugging the roots and see if any dead roots come off..

Temperature is good and well controlled. I tried lightly pulling the roots, some fine root hair fell off but not like a whole clump or anything substantial, there are some roots that are very healthy looking. Roots doesn't smell of anything as of now. this happened like just OVERNIGHT, could it be a case of nute lock? It went up to 1500 the day before and maybe it got hurt then? im not sure. What should i do in this event?

Btw roots are in no way slimy or anything, but roots are in a bloody messy clump. Do you think i should cut part of it off so that it can grow properly? Could it be a tight root ball problem?

the lights are about 12 inches away and 150W LED Lamps in multi colour.

To be honest, the roots are not even that brown, i just took it out into better lighting to take a picture, here are some of the pics. Could i be facing something other than root rot? Could this be a case of nutrients lock instead? HELPPPPP

Ok i just dialed down the lights so that its not so strong now.
