If the smell is really musty its probably rot. Gently hold a root in between 2 fingers and run your hand down the length of the root... if shit falls off then its probably rot.

My DWC shit crashed... I saved the plants though! Go Go Rockwool!

if your roots are not white you might have some root rot. i know i got yelled @ for this earlier. but hydrogen peroxide works. 3% store bought like 1 dollar a bottle add like 1/2 tsp per gallon. see if theres change if not add a little more. maybe like a teaspoon a gallon but i wouldnt add more than that. and then after check your pH if its flucuated add pH down or up to balance

or you could by grotek h2o2 but i think its pretty expensive
