If that's the PPM out of the faucet, that's too high to grow in soil. (I have similar tap water and know from experience.). I can't speak for hydro, but I think it's typical for hydro growers to use RO water and add back Ca and Mg through a "calmag" product or calcium nitrate and epsom salt. I mix my tap with RO to get 150ppm starting.The Ppm was 850.
Ohh no I meant after adding nutes. Tap water in my area is really clean. Probably around 70ppm I believe maybe not but I know it's below 150If that's the PPM out of the faucet, that's too high to grow in soil. (I have similar tap water and know from experience.).

Sorry to see that it turned out to be a root problem. Im sure you could get away with running much lower ppms than 850 at such a small size. Id say where theyre at now, mid five hundreds is plenty for next time. Might help to keep them more on the healthy side. I hope you can find a tea to fix that up for ya. Good luck.2 days ago my roots were bright white until those spots appeared

Possibly rust mites, they won't rub off though it's getting frustrating because I'm still unsure what to do about itScope the underside of your leaves for pests. (Minimum 60x magnification) The roots are probably just stained from the nutrients. Nothing wrong with the roots or you would be able to smell it and the roots would be jelly. It looks like your plants are being eaten alive by spider mites or rust mites....
