Need help not sure what is happening

How is your ph changing, is it going up, down, staying the same?

Also, take a bright flashlight and hold it up against your reservoir and what your plants are contained in. Do you see any light coming through that way? If so, that light going through could be causing algae to grow on your roots and inside your reservoir/buckets which is A HUUUGE problem. Might explain why it started when you just added the nutes to it.

Tiny voted me in as the ph king here. Get the ph up to 5.8 ,your ph is on the edge of not giving you optimal nute uptake. No worry 5.5 is safe but is marginally safe . Try and maintain it around 5.8. Hey Tiny thanks for the thumbs up last thread bro:thumbsup:

Avon he is doing Aero so his PH range is different from what we do. His best advice is to hang with what Oldmac has suggested as that is his gig. :thumbsup:

thanks tinytoon for that

Ok Tiny didn't realize ph could and should vary from system to system. I quasi I better take the back seat from here on out until I gain some more wisdom from you Tiny. Hey Tiny where is that new avatar you been talking about? Hope Marty is ok. Got me a bit freaked out.

One thing I know for sure is that the "tub" your using does let light through to the roots which is causing your algae growth on your roots.
Bag up the tub with a thick black plastic bag and your brown roots problem will go away.

Thanks BudSmoker But it is all good now. Im sure it was nute stain now because all is good.
