Are the buds gonna stay pretty small due to the root rot issue? , right now there in my Hydra Unlimited Buckets + Chiller at 65F & Now Using AthenaBlended Line , Before they were in a spider farmer dwc bucket with default pump & AirStones & Was Using Lotus Grow/Bloom ( I Added 2 more to each bucket ) the water temps were okay
& good bubbles in the buckets but was still Getting RootRot sense I moved em to new buckets + Chiller there now eating & water level dropping daily but I’m worried the buds are just so damn small for there age & I don’t see much color fade going on at all ( maybe due to the lotus ) but I’m now tapering the nitrogen with Athena week by week
Daytime Temps/Humidity 72-73F & 40-50%
Night Temps/Humidity 61-63F & 40-50%
I also did a 3% peroxide Flush for 18 Hours before putting them into the new buckets.

Why do u think u have rot? Are the roots mushy?
Sorry, I can’t really help with your problem, those roots definitely look off though.
But is that blueberry muffin you’re growing?
The cheapest & safest remedy for what looks like mild root rot is a solution of 3% peroxide in a 1 to 3 ratio to hydroponic solution. You might want to go right ahead and drain the entire system to start, then waterperoxide solution, and finally the nutrients to the PPMs you are working with at this stage. The plants look good otherwise. They’ll recover.🤞🏽✌🏽
For root rot you should of taken care of the issue before moving them. Once transfered into your knew home you inintroduced that bacteria to your system. In the future tou can try a hydrogen peroxide(google percent to use in x amount of liquid) bath. Typically 10-30 minutes. Trim away all the rot and mush and leave fresh clean roots. Hopefully this is caught and done before flower so you dont stunt growth. I use 50 ML of 12% in my 35 gallon system as a weekly treatment to help kill bad bacteria, and hydroguard if im not having heat issues since i dont use a chiller.
Your roots look 100% healthy from the picture you provided, I can’t see the entire mass but what you did show looks totally normal. The stunting would be more because of those temperatures than anything those should come up.
Cut off mushy brown roots
You could transplant into coco coir and big perlite.
Your only option now is to empty your reservoirs, refill with clean water and peroxide, run it for a few hours, empty reservoirs again, refill with hygrozyme or any similar enzyme with ph stable water, run it for a week, after a week flush again, and reintroduce nutrients (half dosage), see if nutrient absorption occurs properly..
