For the last month or so I have been growing 1 plant in my dwc 10 gal tote. everyday I am more amazed at its growth rate. all in a 2 day period that I can visibly see anyway things are out of control..
I have what looks to my noob eyes to be nute burn even tho I have been using the same half dosage rate for 2 weeks, what appears to be a gnat which may explain the most odd thing of the smaller leave appearing to shrink in the middle of the leave as if it had a string tied around it in the middle. looking under the hood appears to be root rot not severe but more then im trained to to handle. I have about 10 bottles of 3% peroxide but wasnt sure about amounts ect. also one last odd thing I see is grayish spots on a few leaves. took the best pics I could on my cam. I can take more if needed. any advice no matter how small would help alot.
Im using technafloras bc 3 part nutes. tote is painted black so no light leaks that im aware of, also started adding frozen bottles of water to rez about 5 days ago.

these last 2 pics is just about 2 - 3days prior to these issues. root rot may have not been detected as soon as im a beginner.

this is the part where I fail at life. the ph is 6.0 but I don't know ppm as I haven't had the money for one until today. I will be getting one either today or tomorrow at the latest. res temp is about 75. as far as the amount of bubbles you are correct I didn't have many as I only had a eco air plus 1 and 1 6 inch airstone. I just got 2 new big pumps and 4 8 inch air stones to toss into the mix but havent added them yet as I didnt want to touch the water until I got some advice as it was doing excellent until now.
this first pic is the air pump I used with the single 6" airstone until now.

these are the 2 pumps I picked up with 2 larger air stones.
