Root rot- when to start nutes again?

I just added 2more air stones to mine and it seems to be creating a lot more bubbles. If I start running into issues again I'll get a bigger pump. Good news is roots seem to be all recovered now. I'll put up another pic. I also switched the cfl out for the led light I was going to try this time.

Updated pictures.

There is a super long single strand root that is almost 2 feet long now. Lots more white. These are definitely stained brown and the nutes keep clumping where the roots ball up together. I can spray the clumped nutes off whith a spray bottle with no problem. It's definitely bouncing back and not experiencing as much of a calmag issue as before as well.

^ as advice for down the road to OP. Me setup was perfectly fine but now this late in the grow with more heat from lights during flower and less actual water in the buckets I'm getting too much fluctuation. So all can be well early on in your veg proccess and you fall on your face when it matters and you start flowering.
Yeah, that's a good point. I veg in buckets, but under a 4 x 4 T5 light. It still puts out heat, but not like the dual HPS lights in my flower room.

Yesterday I wrapped all the modules and 2" pipes in my RDWC system because of condensation. It's been really warm, so I've been keeping the room at 82 and because the rez is chilled, the condensation on everything would have been a potential PM source and higher humidity. Wrapped everything in insulation and no more condensation.

Nice! Hopefully I won't have that problem. In the system I'm rigging together it's 3/4 inch insulated reinforced rubber tubing.

Awesome! Keep the attention up and research about air pumps and the proper amount of air for the volume of water you are using. Sounds like your on a good path.

Yea I was thinking your pump probably dosnt get nearly as warm so the extra air may be fine.
