RDWC system 4 Air Pumps 3 Air stones per rubbermaid and one in the res
During our last res change we had to fix a few problems with our plumbing so the plants were out of the rubbermaids for far longer than i would have liked.
Since then the roots have taken on a bit of a brownish colour which im hoping is not root rot.
We are using DNF Black as part of our nutrient mix which stains the water brown, could this be staining our roots or does it look like root rot??
The roots that are not in the water are a nice healthy white colour but maybe that is due to them being new roots which were not dried out ?
A friend suggested we add cal mag as they were looking a bit deficient during our res change as well as 27% h202 at half the recommended dosage.
Res Temps are 71f, a bit high i know were trying to get them down with a DIY cooler today. They were hovering around 68f but we upgraded from a 400W MH to a 1000W digital MH dimmed down to 75%
Ph is 5.6 Room temps 78f RH 55%
Today we added DNF Hydro Sparkle on the advice of our local shop to try and clean them up
Any help tips suggestions would be greatly appreciated
