DWC, tangled roots to this... (noob)
well, i started with a 7 gallon rubbermaid tub, with 6 plants spaced 3-4 inches apart...I was planning on taking the best two looking ones and continue vegging for moms, but i didnt realize how fast roots grew, and before i knew it, at 2 weeks they were all tangled together....and bad.
I quickly took the 2 i wanted and cut the other roots free, changed the resevoir, with 2 tbsp of h2o2 per gallon.
5 days later they went from pearly white to...not, check it out.

Slimy roots are a sign of algae growth. If you havent already,read the section entitled "How can I stop algae from growing in the bucket?" to prevent future outbreaks of algae growth. To correct any problems with current algae growth,follow the simple instructions here and the problem should be corrected in a few days.
Make a solution (the amount equivalent to the size of your bucket) with plain water and 10ml of H2o2 (Hydrogen peroxide) added per gallon of water.
Empty the bucket containing the algae growth and scrub well.
Pour the H2o2 solution into the bucket through the top of your net pot.
Let this sit for about 1/2 hour and then dump and rinse through the top of the net pot with plain pH adjusted (pH5.5) water.
Dump again and then fill with your standard nute solution with 5ml of H2o2 added.
In a few days,when no signs of the slime are visible,dump the bucket and fill with your standard nute solution.
p.s. its not a light issue, the buckets are black on the outside with mylar.
