Ph levels is at 6.0 or 6.5 all hydroponic I check daily and clean once a week, feeding once old enough
Orange sherbet added cal meg looks better but can I trim the bad leafs. The new ones look good no spots yet. Roots are a cream color almost white.
Girl Scout cookies roots might have root rot I was told I could add hydro guard to help out I ordered it already.
The two smaller ones are showing yellow/brown spots roots are white.

Plants are too young to be throwing so many issues. You have something wrong with either your setup or environment. Plucking affected leaves doesn't resolve anything and I wouldn't. You'll need to sift through a checklist to find your problem.

If you have root rot this early, whats your water source and water temps?

From what I was told I just got Purified water and check the ph levels daily keeping it at 6.0.

How many plants are in 1 tub? If 1 has root issues the others will follow suit if their in same tub.

5.5-6.5 is the range. I would ph closer to 5.6 and allow it to rise to 6.2ish before dropping it back down. You don't want to continue PH adjusting daily as long as it stays in range.

Root rot is typically caused by light leaks or high water temperatures. Take a temp reading of your water. If it exceeds 72 degrees than that's your problem.

Purified water doesn't have ph buffers. You'll need to supplement calmag at least. What's wrong with your tap?

They are kept in different tubs and I’ll be checking water temperature and humidity as well from now on. I checked the ph level on the tap before it around 7.

PH is not much of a concern with tap since that can be adjusted. Test with a ppm meter. Is your tap well or city?

Environment temperature and RH is important. Water temperature is equally important for hydro growing.
