Is there light getting into your rez? I assume from the picture you posted that you're doing some sort of DWC.Ph 5.8, temps are decent - about 70 degrees F. They typically stay 65-70 in there. Not a lot of heat penetration into my res. The roots on this one aren't as robust/white as the others, or as I'd like. I've got some hydroguard and the mbferts version of rhizotonic/etc in there. I was hoping that'd keep my roots nice and clean. The problem did indeed start on the tips and serrations.
I'm using coco as a medium, and about a month ago, I noticed the tips and serrations on one of my plants were fading, and a couple leaves dried up without fading... It came down to "I'm a dummy, and forgot to make sure there was no light getting to my wet medium".
Green algae all over the very bottom of my roots.
I solved it by wrapping my CLEAR pot ((ie big ass cheeseball tub))in foil, letting the coco dry out until my leaves started wilting, and then flushing with water and hydroguard, ph'd to 6 Every other day. Took three waterings to see results. She's doing fine now.
I don't know if doing something similar will help you or not.
