I have an auto candy kush growing in a net pot in a custom aeroponics set up. Just noticed today that sections of the roots are starting to turn a rust red color. Is this a bacteria or a fungus?....Is it a health concern or should I not worry.......plant is 16 days and looks awesome. Running fox farms grow big nutes

take a rez temp and be under 70*!!! I would run some H2O2 in there and kill what ever that is and check and double check your rez temp!!! More info on your setup/last rez change and the like, would help for a diagnosis.
Rez change every 5-7 days, 5 gallon.....I don't know the temp though. What is h202, peroxide?
How much peroxide for 5 gal and how long do I run it

Hey Newguy :smokebuds: briman is right - res temps are the most important environmental aspect for healthy roots & needs to be kept low or your really asking for trouble .
100% light proof res is a must & nastys can grow with the smallest amount leaking in.
H202 is peroxide but you need the hydro version & not just hair dye !... its very strong so you need the right stuff & use the right amounts in the right way ...i don't use it so thats all the advice I can give .
zym is a good preventative as well
myco / bennie tea is another great cure .... better than H202 I think "My 2 cents"... theres some great sticky threads at the top of the hydro section ,with lots of info
heres a awesome thread from a new member you should find very helpful :thumbs:

Thanks the info. ....It hasn't progressed at all in three days, kinda thought that was weird. If conditions exist to grow it should grow rapidly I would think.....got to figure out a way to get res temps down
