Think this is all crazy good learning for soil and hydro for roots . I always thought cutting a root would kill part of the plant it benefited too . Sorry if I sound stupid .

Nah it's all good. In hydro, you have access to the roots, so you can prune them back too. Helps them fill out, just like foliage.

Is that root rot?

Tops dried out, couldn’t support roots, roots started dying, plant wanted to live, grew new roots, old ones will decompose and cause problems in res, i waited for new ones to branch, then removed darkest ones...maybe more surgery, maybe not...

But the plants are on the mend....

My day job is farming...on my crop, i do root pruning (tractor pulling plow) every few years..,similar effect, as branch pruning...reinvigorates plant...after it recovers

Roots react similar to foliage, just like you mentioned above. I always pruned my roots back once they start growing to lots of different lengths. They "bush/fiber" out more so you can grow more root mass in the bucket. Also encourages faster root growth, like cutting dead ends on hair.
