Now those roots look real well developed for their starting point and the plant seems to really like it now. Excellent! I believe she is going to be a very decent plant still. Now the plant will start to grow and thrive.

Yeah, I have concluded that for me specificly, staying in 5.8 pH is a no way a good idea. I believe it would still be good to let it stay in that zone couple a times a week but no more than that. Others might have different experiences, I bet it is depending on so much about the quality of water, temperature and everything. My babies just like to stay a 6.2 pH. Perhaps I could try to stay at lower pH say... after the middle phase of flowering?

OK. Post pictures of this. Yeah I agree it might just be some residue of those solutions you have been applying that are making a colouration. Be very sure to check out if there is anything out of ordinary happening with the leaves.

Also, be sure to check how the pH is acting now. Is it shooting down a lot more than usually or anything? If there are no other issues and no terrible smell when you smell the roots, then all might just be good and no reason to panic. Otherwise, let's check if all the nutes and stuff you use are chemical based and prepare to use some hydrogen peroxide.

Heya buddy. Looks like it may be algae on your roots. I get it alot. When they drop into the solution it seems to go away with peroxide or hydroguard. Light and water temps get it growing. Check ur bucket and see if you got the same color sediment on the walls or bottom. Its not always slimy or stinky. All it needs is just a touch of light, hell I think some will grow in the dark lol. Its not a horrible problem to have if it is algae, rather have that than root rot

Thanks so much !! So u think i need to gt some peroxide or hydroguard , will peroxide from the pharmacy work . I gt something called hygrozyme, and is this gonna kill my plant .

Many times the hydrogen peroxide -products from pharmacy can include something else in them. But if you happen to find a pure solution, just note that generally it is applied as about 12% strength solution, about 7.5ml per 10 litres of water. Apply this to the new water first and then apply the threated water to the DWC -system.

Hygrozyme is a great product.
I use it without problem.
You can beat back the algae a bit by rinsing the roots with your kitchen sink sprayer also.
