They will be doing great and then some will start turning brown then they all turn brown, seems to go down hill once they get any brown. Is it bacteria, mold, disease??Got a couple pics.

yeah my guess is to put a layer of perlite underneath all your rookwool cubes. that will keep the light away from them and keep them moist for longer...

Brown roots == Root rot. You need to let them dry out more, you must be keeping them too moist. If it's the very bottom of the cube that has problems you might want to elevate them a bit on a screen to allow the bottom to air out.
