Hey guys, currently growing in a heyabby (aware is not an ideal space, but growing in an apartment it's what I have to work with.) I noticed white foam on some roots this morning. Looking online it looks like it could be anything from proteins, precipitating nutrients or root rot. This being my first grow, wanted your guys take

Just started week 3 of Veg and was using the supplied hey abby nutrients up until yesterday, where I swapped with Athena.



Before the swap, ran ph balanced RO through my system for half an hour or so before refilling. Products I used along with yesterdays readings-


2.5 Gallon mix
1. Athena Grow 32 ml per gallon
2. Athena core at 19 ml per gallon
3. Athena cleanse 4ml per gal
4. Athena balance to get up to 5.8 PH

5/23 readings:
5.83 PH
1320 PPM
2650 EC


Have also used some PH down as well (used a hair too much balance at first)
Did spray some 3% hydrogen peroxide on them this AM. Also have some hydroguard getting here today. Plant looks healthy still but don't want to let this become an issue
