bubbleponics white rhino leaves with brown spots!!

okay so i have been growing these for about three weeks now and i have to have these spots are a problem and i dont know what could be causing them. i have included pictures of everything and i need some help as to what this problem is or if anyone has had it diagnosed before. i dont want my plants to die... i thought it could have been spider mites but i dont think they are from bugs on my foliage... check out the root picture they have a slightly green main root, it seems, with white dots on it and the lowest leaves are getting these spots

i use floranova grow at the moment.
this time i put about a teaspoons worth in the water.
ph 5.7 or so`

did you see the root?? is that weird?
 
i think i wasnt using enough nutes second day after changing the water to more nutrient in the water has sped up growth and possibly slowed down browning. but i am worried about my roots id like some kinda additive like florashield or hygrozyme, any suggestions on what best to use? i am so scared of nute burn man i hardly had any nutrient in there

Dont know much about hydro but how cleanare you lines as ive read somewere that clear lines are known to get fungas build up , That is why alot of people use black lines , Just thought i would drop my thoughts in ,
 
where can i find black lines?id be willing to change them out and get some kinda fungus remover stuff. i think thATS why my roots look green

Not sure , you would have to FISH around . Pardon the punn lol... Different aquatic shops would sell them or your local hydroponic shop .
I just grow in soil ...
 
eh im sure the lines arent that big of a deal. you can see the illuminated sides of the tub from the inside when it is closed but idk if roots can feel that light. it might just be from me liftin the lid and shit all the time

idk next time ill get a lil bit bigger and thicker white or black res and more potting spaces like 6
 
ok soi fixed the problem! it was a ph imbalance from adding nutrients after ph'ing the water.. pretty embarrassing! well i got rid of that problem and added the nutrients it needed and got everything worked out. thanks everyone!

i started with hydroponics for my first time with 2 plants and they started to do the same thing. i got all the nut. out of the water and left them for a little bit and they seem to get better but i was still scared so i switch to soil and now they are doing much much better.

The colouring on your roots is most likely from the Flora Nova.

That stuff is like brown paint. I had the same issue and it freaked me out as well.

No need to worry.
