Hi guys,

This is my first Rockwool run and I appear to be getting some sort of a disease or nute def.
Just posting it here to see if anyone has any input to the situation. Im running ro and using AN jungle juice as the 3 part feed. also running 3ml/ gal of cal mag, 5ml diamond nectar and .5ml/gal of roots excel.
I'm under the assumption that I may have a Iron/zinc def but saw this going on my roots this morning when I checked them out.
Cubes are pretty wet still since i fed them on Saturday and just started week 3 of veg, Ill probably hit them with a foliar of some iron tomorrow.
Any ideas would help thanks!

Your roots actually look quite healthy. I'd let them dry out a bit though so they don't get complacent and stop thriving. Also, root accelerator, in MY opinion, had done it's job and shouldn't be used anymore. As far as the deficiency, you may actually be OVER feeding.

Thanks bro! Im running an RO system and feeding with Jungle Juice Micro, Grow and Bloom. Getting a lot of lime green in here tho, I took the pic with the lime green next to my most healthy lady. that feed have enough Iron in them to sustain a healthy plant, since I'm stripping my water of everything?

and the red tips of the roots are normal?

Oh now I see it. The green things just cover the tops.l as the cubes sit in your flood table openly. Those made specifically for that reason?
Yeah, get rid of algae and watering is a little easier since I just hand feed currently until I flip. I'm gonna grab some hygrogyzme for the roots. Thinking either my ph is off and showing me calcium or my ro and feed have no iron or zinc in it. Giving a foliar this afternoon, see if anything helps.
