I started the tea treatment tonight, adding 1 cup per gallon of solution. Also, I've bleach cleaned both buckets and given them fresh feed. Hopefully this will do the trick. In the tea I used earthworm castings, grandma's molasses, humboldt nutrients myco madness, and general hydroponics subculture m and subculture b. Fingers crossed that it'l fix whatever it is ailing my ladies. Green vibes.

Sending some karma your way gbd...bring on the white roots...:Sharing One:
Thank you kindly! From all the reading I've been doing I'm very optimistic that it'll work. I let the ladies sit directly in the tea while I was cleaning their buckets, so the roots were nice and saturated. Both gals looked perkier this morning already! Always glad to have you stop by Duggy. Cheers!
Here are the ladies and their undercarriages after their first day of tea. I'll keep updating their conditions here so we can all see how this tea works out. Can't say the title is a lie, this surely has been a torture test!

It's feeling like we're on the path to recovery now.

Wish you luck. Typically 'food grade' 5gal buckets are white plastic. Possible something in the buckets causing issues? Often the black or colored ones are also cheaper, in my area at least.
I'm not sure that these are food grade, but I purchased them from.my trusted hydro shop and have completed 2 grows (4 plants) in them with no issue. I purchased white food grade buckets and spray painted/gorilla taped them to be light proof for my last grow, a chaze. It was during that grow that I first noticed the browning of roots. I'm thinking it had ti do with cross contamination between soil and hydro since they were both in the same tent. I cleaned all my equipment with hydrogen peroxide but it must not have been strong enough to kill the cause. I wish black buckets were cheaper around here, $10 bucks a pop is ridiculous. Where do you find yours at?
