ideally the roots should be white, no matter the medium. brown roots cant be good.

also, if the water is cold enough to cause molassas problems (doubt possible), its probably too cold in the first place. the water should be room temp.
hybridlove420 Reviewed by hybridlove420 on . root rot? I purchased a very small 10 gal. dwc system, does anybody know if this is root rot ? 1 plant already died, I tried giving multiple warm nutrient baths but it doesnt seem to be helping. I read an article that said to add pure un-sulfered and un-salted molasses to your nutrients. mabey the water is too cold and the molasses solidified on the roots?. Rating: 5
