Pink roots?

Hey guys, my plant just started with these pink roots. what is the cause of this. i flushed and added about 1/4 more nutes after 2 weeks.

weird couldnt tell ya

i had the same problem. I took each plant in the cup into the bathtub and lightly rinsed the roots off as much as possible. I then flushed and re-filled res with 6.0 PH water and added 1/2 recommended nutes and now 2 weeks later, the problem is gone.

wow thats crazy. what kind of nutes are you using?

stealth hydro high feed bloom

wow, never seen pink roots before. Brown and white are common, but pink. wtf haha.

I read about the same problem on another forum.He had the same problem after swittching to bloom nutes.He also observed some type of parasite in the stem of his plant.Never did see an update post as to wether he figured out what caused this or resolved the issue.

put some peroxide in the water,maybe a cup and a half of h2o2 to 4 or 5 gallons of water,it doesnt hurt the plant and its beneficial

and im talking 3% household peroxide

I have read that Stealth Hydro nutes stain roots pink. Roseman said so on another thread but I can't seem to find it. I wouldn't worry too much about it as long as roots and plants look healthy otherwise.

yah, thats all it is. the stealth hydro people put a stain in the nutes so you can tell them apart

my roots turned pink when i used bud blood. i'm guessing stealth hydro is similar. your roots look real healthy, though. i wouldn't do anything different.
