Yikes on the root color. Are you using something that's turning them that brown? Roots Excel does, but a light brown, not like that, IMHO. Are they slimy? If they already have root rot, I would just toss and start over after a VERY thorough cleaning, but that's just me. I know people have had success with various treatment products.
No they dont feel slimy but I know they do not look good or healthy. I know growth and they are not doing it besides the one I talked about in the video.. Now that one shows me recent vibrant growth. The others could be recovering slowly but it does not really show too much. Again once I put in the karma, they will turn brown as heck. Starting over is not a option.. I fight hard and get things sorted as much as I can before tossing plants. At least that way I can hopefully figure out the issue at hand.
calmag and tap? Too much chlorine in the tap maybe, just a wild guess.
New poll question, stain or rot? Did that once, thought it was stain until it got real obvious it wasnt. But my real clue was what the ph was doing, and your ph is steady. How much air is the nute solution getting? With that much root mass you would think they would have acclimated already and be perking up. Could the better looking plants be getting more oxygen somehow?
Yes I wish I knew about the chlorine but the maiden strayed me away from the strips that told me I had none. I am not sure what to believe though as I dont smell it, but cant imagine not having any at all.
Next on the agenda is a 50 gallon tote that I can bubble out the night before, before using in the res.
