So, I'm running a DWC grow box. I'm in the first week of flowering, and I've already lost one crop to root rot. I thought the issue was temperature, so this crop I started adding disinfected frozen water bottles every day to keep the temps down. Right now the temps are between 52 and 65 degrees farenheit daily, before they were in the 80s 
Anyways, at the beginning of this crop I used 60 ml of 35% hydrogen peroxide every nute change in order to keep pathogens out. I started to notice some root death, and taking some advice from some friends on here, decided to give beneficial bacterias a try. So, I added sensizym, piranha and voodoo juice to the mix, and they actually worked great. New roots were booming, still a bit of slime, but the plants never looked better.
That was up until 2 days ago, the base of the roots are looking dark and miserable again. The plants have gone from perky and upright to down and droopy in 48 hours. There are absolutely no light leaks in this box, the temps are as stated above, i disinfected myself and my tools before i touch the res every day. There are 4 12' airstones pumping bubbles into this res. I have no idea what the $&#% is left to try, and im starting to get more than a little bit irritated with hydro.
Strain is purple kush.
Any suggestions?
The pics below are the before and after (2 days apart).
In case you were wondering ,the brown stuff at the bottom of the tank is the piranha not some terrible disease.
