DWC First time(pics) .. pls advice/diagnose my plants

Initially i dint check correctly and there was a time when water level had gone down but i dint replenish, this made an air pocket just under the end of the net pot, giving me some root slime. I increased the water level it has been better since. My temps are little on higher side around 23- 24 celcius.

Here you go some root pics, should have thought if it earlier roots is most important.


This photo isn't very clear it was taken at night, will take a fresh one and post shortly.
thanks for any advice/opinions/help ..... cheers from India

Whats your feed like? PH?

The most crucial part of hydro.

Also you can have the water level an inch below netpot. The bubbles bursting will get those roots wet.

That slime on the roots is called pythium, it not good and usually always get worse. Keep reservoir / root zone temps low: 62-65F, you convert to Cecilius this temp is crucial and needs to be consistently through out entire grow to keep out of pythium breeding temp. Great place to start doing your research Bro. Great luck to you!
