youve only got 4 buckets man. clean em out and give em fresh nutes with your anti fungal/bacteral agent aka h2o2 or dm zone.

i have been giving them h202 everytime i change out my nutes i add it to the water then add the nutes after waiting about half hour

you have to replenish the h2o2 every day or 2. it oxidizes into water after a short time. i dont use it. i use dm zone. so ask around about how oftern to re up on peroxide. its pretty often tho.

I add h2o2 at least twice a week. I don't think it sounds like you have a problem. The discoloration is probably from the nutes. If there is something wrong underneath, it won't take long to show up above.

someone told me that i can use hydrogen peroxide but it has to be a certain percentage anybody which one it is he said it would be cheaper to buy than h202

I buy reg h2o2 3% for 88 cents a quart. I use 1/3 cup per 6 gal of water, and do so at least twice a week. Maybe if you are treating 200 gal of water the higher concentrations make sense.

general hydroponic nutes tend to stain roots. try posting us a pic. are your roots slimey. can u easily wipe teh tan off.. might be the brown slime but without a pic hard to give honest advice.

Some nutrient additives will stain the roots , I would drain,clean and refill the res and just keep the water cooler than 68 degrees and you are set, frozen water bottles work well.
