Root Rot question Cap Ebb & Grow

Ok I have a plant that is a runt and not keeping up so I was digging around today and found some root rot.
I am using a Cap Ebb and Grow with hydroton and I originally transplanted my clones to the hydroton in the rockwool that they were in and ended up putting them too deep so the rockwool wicks water when the system feeds.
I decided to dig into the top of the rockwool cube today on the runt and discovered a group of brown roots like a 1/2" below the surface.
I then decided to remove as much of the rockwool as possible with harming the rest of the roots.
My question is this: Should I remove the brown roots or just roll with it and see how the plant recovers? I covered them up with hydroton after I removed the rockwool.

Thanks,

J

Well no opinions on this one?

Did you get an answer to your brown root question. I am having the same issues with the ebb and grow and brown roots. Not sure what to do. Plants are extremely heathy and large but the roots don't look like there supposed to. If someone knows what I should do please advise. I am getting no help from the hydro store I bought it from.

looks like your water is too hot.
