@Mmanson1981 I am not there yet but correct me but I would rinse the container its presently in with peroxide and wash the roots off in a phed bucket of rootguard and place back into a new fresh container with the nutrients for the stage its in. I am shooting from the hip on maybe fixing.

I’ve tried that even went 100% H2O2 is cleaned them up in about 15min I completely emptied the tote rinsed and cleaned with bleach, then a peroxide bath and rinse again all while soaking roots in H2O2, I then clipped the stuff that didn’t come clean of rot and in 48 hours I have it started again.
I am 100% sure no light leak, I am circulating my water with air stones for a few days B4 using.

Root rot in hydroponics is primarily caused by the following factors:
- Oxygen Deprivation:
- Overwatering or stagnant water prevents oxygen from reaching the roots, leading to suffocation and rot.
- Fungal Pathogens:
- Fungi, such as Pythium and Phytophthora, thrive in moist environments and can infect the roots, causing them to decay.
- Nutrient Imbalances:
- Excessive use of certain nutrients, such as nitrogen or phosphorus, can create an imbalance that favors fungal growth.
- Temperature Extremes:
- Water temperatures that are too high or too low can stress the roots and make them susceptible to root rot.
- Poor Sanitation:
- Dirty equipment, contaminated water, and overcrowding can introduce pathogens into the hydroponic system.
- Clogged Pipes or Net Pots:
- Blockages in the system can restrict water flow and oxygenation, leading to root rot.
- Insect Damage:
- Insects can damage the roots, creating entry points for pathogens that cause root rot.
- Improper pH Levels:
- pH levels that are too acidic or too alkaline can inhibit nutrient uptake and weaken the roots, making them vulnerable to rot.
- Lack of Air Stones or Pumps:
- In some hydroponic systems, air stones or pumps are used to provide oxygen to the roots. Without these, oxygen levels can drop, leading to root rot.
- Poorly Designed System:
- Hydroponic systems that are not properly designed or maintained can create conditions that promote root rot.

pH 5.7-5.9 in and 6.08 out.
Ppm is 1100in an top off was 1.5 gallon added and ppm was 325, is now full again an 900ppm.
