Hey guys and gals! I am also experiencing some discoloration of roots, the funny thing is it started right around the time I added Roots Oregonism. The nutes I am using is Gen Hydro 3 part, and I have heard that the micro part (dark brown) can stain the roots. But overall the roots look healthy as do the plants, I am about a week (maybe less) from flowering and the larger plants are growing about 2 inches a day vertically.
My concern is the black pieces (i think it is the residual benes) and patches of some brownish stuff that is on the roots. Like i said, i noticed it after adding the Oregonism. There is also a fine black "patina" that has covered the inside of my bins and has even creapt back to the res.
I am not sure what to think... my roots look just like the pictures above, MOSTLY white, long , branched and dangly but without the fine "hairs" that i have noticed in other grows. Am i seeing specks of the black beneficials on my roots and bins etc? Do the benes colonize and change the color of the roots in spots?
11 ladies, 10k vert, RDWC, 2x Hiblow 80s, temps in res about 70 right now, 2 waterfalls in res plus air "injector" (pump with 3 inchx1/2inch hose that has a dripper hose that leads to the surface and syphons in air and adds it to the stream).
I hope this is normal and not onset of root rot.
Thanks ya'll, any input appreciated.
