I dont know what is wrong with the roots on 2 out of my 4 plants....they have brown slimy spots on them...??? I am using General Hydroponics Floracious Grow nutrients right now...so i dont know if that has any thing to do with it or what?? and the plant in the picture was growing well and then it developed these burn spots and then it started to get dark green areas and now this is what it turned out like...the new growth shoots are like burned and yellow...and this is only to the one plant out of the 4 so i dont know what it is???? Someone please help?

looks like ur letting light into ur res/bucket could be alge,+ if that is the case ur roots are dying as they can't uptake oxygen

No there are no light leaks i just pulled the lid off to take the picture...and i set it onto a bucket...

Just because the roots aren't directly under the light does not mean they aren't exposed to it. it looks like your res is yellow in color it could b letting enough light through the plastic to cause algae. Try wrapping your res in duct tape.

My resovoir is dark gray and light cannot pass through it....

Go to walmart and buy some BLACK ducktape. Wrap your res AT LEAST twice with it. Trust me, I thought I didn't have light either in a BLACK bucket... I was wrong. Also, try topping up your res once in a while to submerge the roots at the top. Even the slightest bit of light can grow algae.
