These roots are mostly white to light tan, with a slight pink/orange tint in the lower section. The texture looks fine and fibrous, not slimy or collapsing. I do not see the dark, mushy look that usually points to severe rot. Overall, the roots look mostly healthy but a bit stressed.

🦠 Pathogen Report

I do not see strong signs of root rot. There is no bad smell reported, and the roots are not sticky, which is a good sign. The main issue is light discoloration and some stress color, which can happen from warm nutrient water, lower oxygen, or early root irritation. With your water temperature at 24 C, the system is in a range where oxygen can drop more easily, so this is a mild risk area, not an emergency.

💊 Recovery Protocol

1. Keep the reservoir cooler if possible. Aim for 18-22 C because cooler water holds more oxygen and helps roots stay clean.
2. Increase aeration with Air Pump if the tank is not strongly bubbling. More air helps prevent early root stress and rot.
3. If the system has weak circulation or dead zones, improve flow with a Pump Replace only if the current pump is underperforming.
4. Add a beneficial root product like Root Inoculant to help protect the root zone and support healthy new growth.
5. Check pH and EC with your existing meters regularly. Stable water chemistry reduces root irritation.
6. If discoloration starts to spread or roots become soft/slimy, do a short cleanup with Hydrogen Peroxide carefully, then restore beneficials after the water change.

Because you already have good tools, the main goal is to improve oxygen and keep the reservoir stable. Right now this looks manageable, not severe.
