Hey! 
First time I see this... roots are pretty white when they exit the net pot and when they touch the water, they become a little brown... Now at second week of veg... First week, everything went well except I didn't raise the humidity quickly enough... VPD was way too high for veg plants (around 1.4-1.5) They were stunted a bit. I looked at the roots and roots were browns then raise humidity. I didn't wash way much the clays before putting the clones in... But I'm not sure why they would come out white then turn brown once in the water.
011.jpg and 012.jpg were 2 days after I raised the humidity to get a VPD of 1.05~... All white roots shooting...
003 and 001 - 5 days after I raised the humidity... Plant is healthy, could be a bit better but raising the ppm slowly... Should be fixed within 2-3 days at most.
It was was root rots, I'm pretty sure the plant wouldn't look like this, it will all be dull and wilting... I'm maybe wrong of course.
Any idea? Not enough air in the water? I'm using 4.4 liters of air for a 4 gallons bucket... Maybe there's around 2.5-3 gallons top... Should be sufficient air input. I always recycle my air stone... I let them sink in the system when I do a bleach cleaning... let run the system for 12 hours with bleach in it, then flush, add water, let the system circulate, flush again, fill with fresh water... flush, vacuum... Then I boil the air stone for 30 minutes in water and vinegar for 30 minutes then rinse them with fresh water.
Thanks for any help, first time it happens and i'm puzzled... Mother's roots are ultra white and cleaning the same way the system...
