yes nutes can stain
light can stain roots also
root rot also but roots will be mushy and slimy

my first reservoir got colored roots so i got materials to fight rot and it looks horrible. it had stunted growth so i thought that's what it was. the second reservoir has the same thing but is growing super fast still. i have hygrozyme and sm-90 which fight rot in it but in smaller amounts.

Look at nute mixture before you put it in or mix it in a gallon before you put it in and make a note of the color. Those nice white roots are just waiting for something to stain them. They are a blank canvas!

k, then i definitely did just overreact with my first reservoir. luckily the plants are still very saveable and even if those aren't i have 3 larger ones in a different res. to tide me over. thanks guys, and gals.
