so when i went to check my res today i noticed something that looked like dirt a couple pieces of the roots i am thinking that this may be due to flushing the medium with h2o and white widow but i am now concerned about root rot even though i have been keeping the temp in my res at around 65F will try to post pics soon also is it possible for my light to burn through my leaves after a foliar feeding

Do your roots smell bad?
Should smell like fresh salad

 

[madmarv0525]

No they don't really have much of a scent at all

 

[Highpotanoose]

Really look fine,I assume the slight discoloration is due to nutes,
If they don't smell rotten then I'd say you are ok

 

[Highpotanoose]

Although looking again there is a kinda line in your roots that look suspect

Those roots look a lot better than mine, I am sad to report. Mine are brown. But I don't have a chiller. My ambients peak to 80 deg. F.

But it looks like the start of something. I would do nothing but watch and look for a progression in either direction. If you react too early, you may over correct and have a whole new set of problems. It may ... clear itself up. Your leaves will let you know. Oh yeah. You burned them from foliar feeding ... bummer.
Well, ask yourself: Did make any other changes?

Just my tip:
Make one change at a time and observe - to eliminate variables.

The roots out of the water will be a little darker than the ones in. If you are running Cal-Mag they will be alot darker.I would suggest getting some Kanga Roots. Keeps the roots healthy n happy. As long as there is no slime you will be good.

They look good still just keep an eye on them if you are worried but those look like some nice healthy root ball.

I added some hydroguard just in case and will be using it throughout the remainder of my grow the brown didn't spread at all and from what I hear root rot goes pretty fast The guy at the hydro store said that it was probably just dirt or something like that
