    Default brown roots , help

    hi using dwc gh series, roots seem to be rotting a bit, i have 2 airstones but i thinik i kept my water level to high and my roots right at the bottom of the net pot where the roots begin to come out, it seems to be browning, so im going to take some water out so that part of the root is exposed, is there anything else i can do to help them cure and make it so they dont stunt to bad? thansk for any advice

    not really. just keep that water level an inch or so from the bottom of the roots and they will grow towarss the water. as they grow lower the water level. once you have a fat dense completely formed root ball, usually by begin of flowering, than you can keep em soak to about an inch or 2 from bottom of net cup. the bubble burstingof the airstone will draw them. and fyi, i always cut out a circle about 2" diamter in bottom of bet cup so they can grow staright down and not got entagled in the net cup, although that is prob what they were made for. diff plants have diff needs

    that what i did, i moved the water level down now, the roots are brown still but the plant looks very healthy and i noticed new growth when light came on, so hopefully they arent stunted to bad, just a tiny bit of brown but i wanna keep my ladies safe, if anyone else might know what i could do to ensure nothin else happens any advice or input is welcome

    most imp thing at this point is to make sure your res temps are correct and in range. and to be honest, whenever I have roots that are slow to come down, I throw another airstone in there to really entice them. seems to work 100% of the time

    well ive actually got 2 air stones my temp is 65 in my res i used some nutes and they pretty young, could that be why the roots are turning, also 1 of my plant is a tiny tiny bit burned and the other one is just starting to show small burn, and 1 of my plants looks completey green and healthy except 1 leaf the tips are like curved upward its weird, this is my first dwc hydro deal i usually go soil so its quite the curveball for me, kinda dontk now what to do

    my roots arent slow to come down at all, they are acutally down there, some up to 6 inches in the res, thats not the problem, i have 1 airstone i beleive 18 inch and 1 like 20 inch air curtain, 1 airpump but it seems to be pumping lots of oxy, just some of the root turned brown like last night, theyre probly hmm maybe 1 and a half weeks, i can take a pic in a sec actually, i know i burned em a bit with nutes shouldnt have added so soon but could it be why roots are browning?
