How far is your pot above your water? You may have a bit of root rot in the center of your root ball.

Was going to ask the same question. I too am a hydro farmer and my concern is that all of your roots are coming out of the center bottom hole instead of coming from all sides. That brown at the base of the net pot does not look healthy either (or is that just the lighting)? I would also be interested in how much agitation you are providing the roots? Did i miss the rez temp?

this is the one i have used for quite awhile to provide my RO needs. This is the second unit i have purchased (dropped the first one on a granite floor)

Yes keep your buckets topped up as they drink, with pre mixed nuits, drinking down to 2 inches from the bottom of the bucket is to low.
