Lighting is in a 24 Hour (Mother plant Veg Room)

Only been transplanted once and was doing great for the first week it was in the new container The other 2 plants were started in the same Medium Same Time Same light same system all three were started around the same time from seed.

Not to sure if it will matter but this plant has been slightly yellowing leaves since before moving it to a new container its been getting worse till today where it seems like no new vegatative growth is coming out but its still alive as when you check the roots off the main TAP root (The bigger round greenish root) Im seeing new white roots in the water But most of the roots have browned in color not sure how this happened it has been in the same system as all the others if you have any ideas please let me know asap!

you my friend have the famous "eagle claw" going. Dont worry they are not bad at all yet. i had this same problem with ten time worse results than yours. The first thing i did was flush very good and fed her only water up until i noticed a positive sign. One of the reason that causes the claw is nitrogen toxicity which then causes a lock out and thats why the she shows signs of deficiency. Just replace water with regular non nutrient water. Btw whats you ph level? ANd also do you have the girls in clear see thru plastic containers? Ive noticed in pic 2 that the plant in the back is in a see thru container? I would and so would every one else in here advice to cover them up so the roots dont get any lights what so ever. And i would cover up the hose for the air pump as well with some electric tape (its cheapest than duct tape). even though the rest are doing fine with the same nutrients level, ph level, water, etc etc etc dont mean that all your plants will be the same. she might not like as strong nutrients as the others do remember that.

and when you do flush make sure you clean all your equipments off. meaning the hoses, the buckets its in, the misters is you have any, the air stones, etc etc etc. its always better to play it safe than not. I know its a pain in the ass to clean everything but in the end its better off for your little girl.

incorporating some h202 in your water will add some oxygen to your roots and might help as well (5 parts water to 1 part 3% h202)

I covered 2 other containers and i ended up having a REALLY REALLY bad infection of some brown Algae smelled like Sewage so i changed over to the open containers and 7/8 of the plants are pristine roots White luscious and beautiful this seems to be the only plant that is responding like this, I guess i could cover them thats no issue i just was experimenting with them so i could see how the roots are developing. It is not an issue to do that though. Also why cover the air lines. they do not have water in them so they can not have issues with algae just curious. And i dont need H202 i have Airstones in the water so they get plenty of O2

Update, I covered the container and flushed / cleaned the water out when i did a ph test it was high almost 7.5 so i flushed and are back around 6.0 or so with fresh water we shall see if this makes any dif, Gotta go tend to the clones now but should i be keeping these on a 24hr light status? or is 18/6 Better i have a mother plant in with 6 veging plants and put 4 into flower room 2 days ago just curious let me know guys what you think

18/6 bro is better that way she gets to rest and grow better. and as far as covering the lines up i would do it just to be safe than sorry bro. i hope that takes care of the problem but now its up to you to read the signs she will be giving you in the next upcoming weeks. happy grow my friend and i hope all goes well for ya.

Give them some rest, 20 hours of daylight and 4 hours of dark is the highest ill go in giving sunlight. Everything needs rest.. Picture a MJ as a little baby. Time goes by quicker, and you take care of it more. Lol.
