Hi Renegade ,
Are you giving the plant any magnesium? It sure looks like she isn't getting any for some reason.
 
Well for the update, the roots were not getting nutrients, though it was algae, cleaned the system etc, unfortunately I'm am idiot, it was actually not algae but a bacteria slime I think??? So 😅😅😅 I'm looking up what to do

Well shoot at OK you get a pass on that one LOL. I'm no hydro person but heck those don't look too bad you caught it soon.
 
Looks like peroxide and a rinse, and check back in a day or 2, but this hydroponics is a lot more work then advertised
 
The reason why I never tried hydro yet. Seems like a lot of maintenance..
But I’m taking my hat hat off for all the hydro growers out there 🙏🏻
 
You might want to run Hydroguard in your reservoir. My first grow was DWC and never had root problems. My current grow is in soil and I must say that I am not missing the daily pH adjustments and biweekly reservoir changes.

What temp does your reservoir run?
 
So update, the place I'm at has the brown bacteria standard here, the only way to counter act it is a little bit of peroxide, I also run the water for an hour under a UV light, ended up saving it.

Try using HydroGuard, Looks like root rot. There may be light getting in through the white bucket which will cause it. Also find a way to make sure no light can get to your water/nutes. I've had the problem and solved it with Hydro Guard and a cheap blanket that covers my 3 buckets so no light gets in.
 
Thanks for the input everybody, the root rot was a bacteria in this country's water purification system. It's there no matter what a little peroxide fixed that luckily
