Need help please

Hey guys, been growing for a while but always had issues with root rot. However fir the past year I can't hardly get a plant to flower much less get a decent yield. I've tried h202, hydroguard, I have been using uc roots lately and thought everything was going well and now plant is starting to wilt and roots look terrible. If anyone can give me a hand I would much appreciate it.
PH was at 6.5 when I looked at it and lowered it to 5.5
EC is .7
Reservoir holds 7 gallons and I added 15ml of uc roots when I changed the water about a week ago. I noticed the roots color change in the past few days. I'm not sure if I should add more uc roots or less. Maybe this strain just doesn't like dwc?? I had a more satire strain where I had no issues

This is what I been trying to do with the uc roots. I'm just not sure if I'm under doing the uc roots or overdoing it. The manufacturer calls from 1-7 ml per gallon (extremely broad range) i've tried 7ml per gallon and got a bad result, I've now tried to run 3ml per gallon and the result isn't good either.

I will try this, I've tried just about every product out there, some pretty expensive, if this works it would be awesome

What nutrients are you using?

What's your res temp?

Why is it all blue in there?

What's your grow room temp?

I'm using cutting edge solutions nutrients, res temperature according to my apera ph meter is 75f. The blue hue is from the lighting, blue and purple led. I turned the purple off like 2 days ago when I noticed the plant not praying as much and the roots start to turn brown to give the plant a little rest. I use the LED while small and a LEC when the plants get larger and flower

What's really confusing is that I've had great succes with the same set up, I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong this time. This is my last successful grow, I got a NICE harvest from it

Grow room temp is slightly higher than the res at 77, these figures may change slightly as both may get 1 or 2 degrees hotter during the day and 1-2 degrees cooler at night.

Got the wife to pick some up, I'll be adding some here shortly. I forgot to mention that all of the water I use for the res comes from jugs. I get distilled water from the store since I have extremely hard well water at home.

Maybe dilute your hard water with distilled to save some cash if it seems too high, but it would have to be pretty high for me to worry about it. Folks can get carried away trying to fix a non-problem.

When you implement the "pool shock" treatment initially, be sure to soak your entire root ball in the treated res water for a minute or so to kill off any pythium that might have made it higher into the roots that aren't submerged.
