the roots have had root rot, but never like this. This has covered the entire bucket, and the air stones.

I would be pulling them out, pruning them back to fresh bits, repotting and hoping they live through it - that a pretty bad case.

Holy fuck, that's about the worst bacteria attack I've seen, I almost threw up
What do the plants look like, they got to be drooping like a weeping willow.
You need to get aggressive to have any chance of saving these plants. Take the netpot out of the lid, trim off all of the roots down to the pot, and soak the pots and roots in a seperate container filled with 6.0 pH water and 1/3 cup of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide per gallon (the stuff you can get at a drug store). See this link, post 8 under over-watering, for an example of soaking:
https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/1469-marijuana-plant-problems-cures.html
While the plants are soaking, thoroughly clean the reservoir with a bleach solution. Clean EVERYTHING. Let everything (except the plants, of course) soak in a bleach solution for about an hour. Get new airstones and tubing. THOROUGHLY rinse everything with fresh water.
When you're ready to put it all back together, mix up a batch of 1/4 strength nutrients with some Superthrive or other root stimulant. Add 1/4 cup per gallon of 3% hydrogen peroxide to this solution. Put the plants back in the reservoir. Add two tablespoons of 3% H2O2 per 5 gallons of water in the reservoir per day until new roots start forming. Pray.
You'll be pushing the limits with the H2O2, but these plants are probably toast anyways.
And fix the reasons this occured in the first place: high water temps, light leaks, poor aeration, etc.!

Sure, if the plants aren't in bad shape. He's perfected growing bacteria but probably not marijuana yet, though, and I reckon the plants look pretty bad by now...

You should have seen the buckets. It took over everything! It covered the air stones, the tubing, the sides of the bucket and the roots.
I had literally just changed the water 2 days before and I was actually impressed with how well the roots were doing. I ended up having an early harvest. I didn't want that stuff in my grow room.
I ran:
Advanced Nutrients (sensi a,b)
H202
Botanicare Sweet
Hygrozym
and Synergy
I don't know what caused it but something caused all three buckets to start a bacteria bath.
The plants were very tiny, and looked pathetic. I got maybe 3/4 an ounce off the three of them. Then threw those buckets in the trash.
I had got taken them over from a friend, and just couldn't turn them around.
