the roots look brownish to white, One thing I forgot to mention is this is the first time I ever used roots excellerator from H&g. One other difference Ive had with this grow is that its the first time I can ever recall the ppm dropping by 200ppm per day. Every past grow the ppm went up everyday .. It must be the root ecellerator but i don know, I took in some blue dream clones from a buddy and just feel like its a virus or something. the plants have improved since i raised the lights up another foot, but these are the same plants ive had for 12 years and all of a sudden problems.. fuck it, time for change, Im finishing this round out and setting up a new spot as we speak.. Im going with og18 and sour kush from reserva and will be keeping the best mother for a trash can coco grow similar to remos here..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTcRU4oRq5c
could this be root aphids?

never.. I literally have never had problems ever ..back when I didnt know shit and was using just the gh 3 part and had no ph meter or ppm meter I never had problems. just this last 2 grows. things it could be are 1. ive never re used hydroton in the ebb n gro (new everytime)
2. I used a gallon of beach in a 55 gallon drum to clean the hydroton.. I realize this is way to much bleach since I only had abt 30 gallons of water in the barrel
3. the roots excellerator
i use advance line up of nutes, I started using advanced 3 years ago and let me tell all you haters out there that their shit is legit... same strain same system same everything and average yeild went up a 1.5lbs off a 4 light system .. (from abt 7lbs everytime to ove 8.5 lbs per run) same strain 16 plants in ebb n gro under 4k

So these plants have been in this system the entire time and they have had a couple of other hiccups this grow?
I do not think it would be the bleach. Bleach burns off rather quick. In fact, i just gave my plants some bleach to help fight off some rot, but I am in all perlite. I would think if that was the problem they would already be dead. I do not know enough about hydroton and ebb n grows to suggest anything, but I am pretty sure someone will suggest running h2o2 or bleach through there at one point. Post this in hydro somebody will be familiar with your exact parameters.

If your seeing flyers you got a infestation for sure. Put some sticky aphid traps up for the fliers and start treating right away. Azamax,evergreen 60-6,bontanigard,imid are what I am using to combat these fuckers. When you treat seems like the damage gets worse then the plant recovers a bit. The Ra's seem to hit hard in flower after 3 week or so...
