Sick roots?

**5ern** · 10-10-19, 05:05 PM

My plant has kinda stopped growing, and when i looked at the roots some part of them seemed a little brown/darker. It's a little bit smelly too. Im running a rdwc and other plants are doing ok. ph 5.8 and ec 0.6 with background ec of 0.2. Plants are about 4-5 weeks from seed. Does it help to cut the roots?

I added a pic there? Maybe im confused what u meant? Im Norwegian :P
Im running in a rdwc with watercooler and temp is never over 19 celcius. Usually at 18. Temp in the tent variates from 18-26 celcius. Night and day. RH is about 55%, and i got 3 fans in the tent blowing upwards. For light I have a 400w hps.
The stem on the plant is also kinda dark and the leaves lowest on the stem are starting to crumble to dust. The other leaves are green but not healthy green, and small. No new leaves and the existing leaves dont grow.
Can take a pic of the plant too.

I just took the ec from 0.5/0.4 to 0.6.

Ok what are your water temps and ph . Do you have sufficient air bubbling in there ?

Are you giving her calmag ? She looks deficient

I give calcium and magnecium. Water temp is 18-19, usually at 18. Ph is at 5.8-5.9.
The air bubbling was cut of since my hose was inbetween the lid and the bucket, dont know how long but after I fixed it I still havent seen any difference.
Maybe 2-3 days since i noticed.
Wouldn't it be yellow spots if it was a lack of calmag?

GHE/General hydroponics
I use the veg and bloom and the micro from them.

The roots seem fine . Shes looking like she is overwatered but ij dwc its usually because theres either too much air or not enough .

Fans blowin too willl cause this drooping . 18 is a tad cool for night temps especially if air is blowing around

I would also give her a good calmag foliar and bump up the e.c .2
