I am having some issues with my plants in an aero grow. the plants are about 2 weeks from seedlings.
What I'm consistently seeing is rising pH levels every time I check. I think the water might be a little too warm (25-18C). I think the roots look a little off-white to me, not as bright white as I remember (or it could be that I'm imagining things). I'm thinking it could be root-rot, but I hope not. Anyone have experience with root-rot and can tell me if this sounds familiar?
The leaves are looking a little droopy and too yellow, but I think that might be from the nutrient lockout from the high pH levels. It usually gets up to ~6.5 before I have a chance to knock it down with some pH Down.
Here is a picture of the problem. I couldn't get a clear shot of the roots, but can try again if someone thinks it'll help to diagnose.
sorry about my rotational challenges!
