Root rot in DWC — brown slimy roots

Had this exact issue last grow. What fixed it for me was flushing with pH'd water and letting the soil dry out before feeding again at half strength.

Environment is key here. What's your temp and humidity? Sometimes the symptom looks like a nutrient issue but it's actually environmental.

Same thing happened to me when I was overfeeding. Backed off the nutrients by 50% and new growth came in healthy within a week.

Don't panic! This is recoverable. The plant is tougher than you think. Make the adjustment and give it a few days to respond.
