They roots are tannish brownish you can gently pull gobs off It seems like root rot just not sure If it is can it be fixed
 

GrowTech

stays relevant.
I would recommend flushing the roots off well, and repotting if you're able to. Darker roots aren't the end of the world.

im assuming this is hydro. keep your water temp right get some h202 use it you got snot on your roots h2o2 will eat it do a res change add h202 wait 20 min then add nutes, worked for me ph dropping is a sign of root rot

ph fluctuates when you check it every day do you have to rais it up to 5.8 or do you lower it. if you use chemical nutes then h202 will get along with it, organic wont if organic run the h202 for 20 min then add nutes thats it, i never let ph get below 5.6.... 5.6 to 6.0 is the range you want

tussel This might help I am using a aerogarden base I have a 4" airstone lots of bubble but not full strengh. I use fox farm trio. when I flushed I used ph'd water at 5.4 cause it would drift to 6.3. I know it had to many build up of nutrients, which I dont know how that happened truly. I went by fox farm schedule with a res change every week. Would rinse roots of with ph'd water and rinse out the res. Put new nutes in check temp at 71 put plant back. Showed signs of nute burn when added open sesame to start flowering lots of leaves turned on me. Started flushing nutes galore in flush water. They are brownish seems like more come off now. Hoping she will kick back. There is no fluctuation in ph now. And I always have used ph up only. So you mean run h2o2 20 min res change then add nutes since it is partial organic? Sorry so long stoned
