FoxFarm staining roots, need to worry?

As you can see in 2 days they are moving along nicely but also being stained a nice poop brown Any reason to be concerned? Water temps constant <= 75F

try sum Advanced h2o2 once a week at half strength ,then flush with plain water for a day ,change res , add roots organic enzym, add nutes and let it rip. stay away from hydro zyme if your plants dont already have a tolorance to it .

Fox farm stains roots and is nothing to worry about. Look out for slime on your roots this is a clear sign of a problem. Keep water temps in check with Ice if need be but I wouldn't worry. The first time I ever tried DWC was with FF tiger bloom and it stained my roots, I freaked out but found out what i'm telling you...It's just the organic nutrients staining the roots so grow and no worries.

Might be able to try out more additives on future grows

Only big bloom is oprganic. Grow big and tiger bloom are chem salts.

I think that one is on a little of both

this is true also.

only the solubles are pure salt, the liquids are a mixture heavy on the salts, big bud is all organic

Perhaps. In my mind, salt and bennies do not get along. I guess you could say a humate is organic, and likely not affected by a salt. When I think organic, I think of the need for bennies to break stuff down. Seems unlikely that live microbes could exist in a concentrated bottled of growbig, and w/all the salts I feel there is no need as already broken down, so to say.

I used to use ff, the whole line up to incude the soluables. Never saw any root staining, but I was not using cups of bigbloom either.
