Humidity is often overlooked, and without a meter your really just guessing. Do the plants get watered from the top at all?
i agree with this... doing any type of hydro without a EC/TDS meter doesn;t seem like a good idea to me.

humidity is pretty easy to measure... most $5 digital thermometers will also give you relative humidity.

I think if your roots are rotting it probably means *something* isn;t being done right...
