Looking pretty!
It's my opinion the root rot is the cause of the pH drop. Root rot being caused by too high of a nutrient load, usually after physical flower bulking has ceased. Lack of oxygen and biological outbreaks can also cause root rot to skyrocket and pH to plummet.is it the consensus then that "pH dropping" is the cause of these root failures?

years back, growing DWC from seed, i never had a single incident of the roots dying off like that except when somehow the air line or stone wasn't working.
later on, i took in clones that i thought were holy grain type strains (GG4 included). only then did i ever begin to see this sort of thing.

I'm thinking my nutrient profile has been just a touch shy on calcium, making root rot easier to occur. We'll see.
