When I get done with this flushed, I’m getting blazed from hell. So the short of the long is my plants roots are why my plants look like that?

No one is calling you a liar, milehigh. I don't remember you saying your water was 400 to start. That's some hard water. Light getting to you water is probably the greater problem with algae development. I guess the warm temp didn't help much either.

There's a good chance with ppm that high your tap water is far from ok for hydro? From the reading I've done that's way to hard of a starting point. There's absolutely no way, unless you get it tested, to know what in your water.
If you can afford distilled, RO system or at the least bottled spring water you should try ot this next time.

You'll need to resolve your root issues first. In the mean time you could cut your ppm's back a smidge, but until you handle your roots, most anything else is going to be a wasted exercise.

Dude, you said it was light stress..not an issue with warm water! lol. The lights may be making the water too warm, but to raise the lights is no solution as the plants need the light....the solution is, keep your water colder! Not raising the lights higher!

So with medium that is too hot and a plant with near dead roots , how do you keep it alive and cool off the medium? And when I say medium I mean the pot with the red rocks not the water in the system. It doesntmatter what a happy plant can take in this case. Back off the lights will cool off the works and an 10-00 and a bit of Epsonswill keep it alive till it recovers.
I am sure its not the water temp

...and I didnt say it was light stress I said that the plant can't handle the amount of light it is getting

Nice looking garden, as you already know a sick plant in many cases will not be able to deal with full sun and will require shade or indirect light

Okay with all of y’alls impeccable advice they are picking up. I have a water cooler now at 68 degrees. My main problem from burnt leaves was from folior feeding without lights off. On the older plants I just got scissors and trimmed off bad roots and washed rest of algae out. There is no more algae now in my rdwc system.

Yeah man dont use any knock offs like dumb dumb did up there and lost 2 back to back grows.
Anything chlorine dont mix with beneficial bacteria.if you sterilize a system with bleach you have to wait at least 4 days to fill the system otherwise the bleach will kill all the hydroguard.than algae will take hold after a week.bleach wont kill all of the algae.that shit gets in your stones,rocks everywhere.especially chillers.
