I had a perfectly healthy looking White Widow wilted in a 12 hour window,

The pictures of the roots were taken 2 days before. But when the lights went on it was like a stick with a green dress, I reckon a tear was dropped. when I finally killed her after trying to make her thrive for 2 days treating with H2o2 with no avail, I decided to prune everything and find the source.. it was rot at the base of the stem, brow color, smelled like shit, she was done.

As I sated I use 2" netpots filled with hydroton in 2 gallon buckets. I'm thinking the roots chocked as it happened just before full flowering triggered (pre-buds and everything) could this be the reason? People do NTF in 2" netpots just fine... it just looked like it was gonna explode so I may ask as my other DWC plants use 8" netpots.

I have another plant in the closet that's starting to wilt too and showing similar signs.. I used round coolers as it's impossible for a decent IQ'd person to find a black square pot with a lid for sale on the web that you could use for DWC, try it!!. I had to go with the stupid thermos (@"#)$/%"#).. anyways.. I'm not that naive not to expect differently from the current "alive" plant... so gonna take some clones, donate the coolers to charity and get square ones with 3 gal capacity and try again. At the end it was just a month of my life wasted.. no worries

I do have the doubt if this could've been the lights work.. it's intense and I had it like 4 " over
the top (not recommended) the leaves didn't look burned, they just gave up the next day..

Your help would be greatly appreciated!
 
explode? you mean like this.............I don't think it was the 2 inch net pot.
