I got 5 gal.

The brown roots are from the nutrients.
Slime is a difficult word to translate. The roots develop a slippery stinky outter layer that doesn't allow for proper absorption of the needed nutrients.
Slimy... hmmm

Also make sure your container has no light going inside.

how to be sure??
I covered the whole bucket with black polythen and the net pot is black and I put some paper over the clay ....
Holes look a little bit too big. Clear tubing will allow light leak into the bucket also .There is a pic of today, day 2 of flowering.

i can add somes yes.I see paper in your net pot. Can't you just fill it up with hydroton?
Yes! Light will travel down through them tubes and into your bucket. The holes for your air stone tubes are too big and there's light leaking in through the gaps. All your algae is located in or around the area where them 4 holes are allowing light through. Cover with tape of some sort and you should be fine. Also FLYING SKULL Z7, is all you need for healthy roots in DWC.

So the light can come in from the little holes for the tubing.. so why I have algea all around the root's beginning ? it is because of the water around ?
And do I have the leave a gap of air under the net pot and the top of the water ? Or I can put the water flush to the net pot?

here's what I did
Here in Ireland we have a Post Office service that gives us an address in the UK and United States to which we can get items delivered to, (if they don't already deliver to Ireland). They will then take it from there to my front door.. Check to see if Canada has such a service available. Worked out very cheap for me in the end. I hope it all works out bro .
Yeah bud the light will leak in through the clear tubing and the holes around it. I'd recommend gettin some black airline for your setup and cover up them gaps with tape of some sort. Leave about 75-100mm between the bottom of the pot and the top of the water. Allows the roots the breathe better. When your plants are monsters you can let the water up to the net pot and it will drink them 3-4 inches overnight. I hope this helps for you my man .
