Can an Unhealthy Plant's Roots Cause Reservoir pH to Keep Spiking up?

I started using 1ml of pool shock every couple days over the weekend. pH isn't rising anymore and water isn't cloudy at all anymore. So those are good signs so far right? You aren't possibly referring to the plants in the first four photos from four years ago when you say none of my plants have a well developed root system are you? The plants from four years ago didn't have root rot and came out fantastic from seed to finish! I do think two of my reservoirs might have a case of pythium though.

You will improve on every single point if you keep the root zone clean and clear from any biofilm in hydro. Bigger root mass, stems, foliage and flower yield. You're on the right track starting this thread and figuring things out. I wish you a good harvest and all the best of luck in your endeavors!

Thank you so much for the tips/pointers! I had biofilm in my res the other day and was like wtf?? Now I know to immediately take action if I see it or cloudiness. And thank you to everyone for chiming in and pointing me in the right direction really appreciate you guys! Wishing you a great harvest and fortune also!

@Wastei, this is kind of what is happening to me with ph going up and plants (certain strain not drinking)... please check some of my recent threads about this and get back to me. DWC btw I am doing.
