Hi! I´ve been lurking around here for a while whitout writing anything, but from now on i will. ;)

I started up a aero grow some weeks ago, and i have now run into my first problem, whitch i think might be root rot. :what:
The plants are vegging in the aero system since 2 weeks. PH: 5,7 stabile. EC: 1,1. Water temp: 24C (75,2F).

I am also using Hydrogen Peroxide to avoid root sickness...

All comments are very welcome!

Your roots look fine as far as I can tell. What makes you think you have root rot?

There are some spare parts of brown in between that beautiful white, make sure to change nutes every 2 weeks, besides that I wish the best.

Thanks for taking your time! ;)

I just thought that the small brown spots on the roots where alge or the beginning of root rot since the roots over all are getting darker. Maybe its normal? when i looked at all the plants roots today, i saw that they all have become slightly darker! But the plants are still looking good i presume, all exept one (hanging, looks over watered). its roots look the same as the others... :wtf:
