Light leaks perhaps. I had a grey container like that and it does not keep out all of the light ( I also used FF nutes). Wrap your container with foil and use hygrozyme, at least thats what I did and no more Root rot. FF nutes + DWC light leaks+ temps above 72 = Root Rot.

Im not dogging FF, I just think you need to be extra cautious with them in DWC.

I did recently switch to House and Garden and its even more impressive. Their best product is the Roots Excellerator. Use it with hygrozyme and your root rot days are over.

ADD MORE AIRSTONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If pH is good, PPM is good, and you've tried H202, you aren't getting enough air to the roots. ADD MORE AIRSTONES!!!

dude i had a bad case of root rot awhile ago , it came when i turned off the air pumps for 2weeks , that and my temps were high. hygrozyme is probly your best best and make sure you get that ph under control cos its only going to go up with the dead root matter.
