I'm starting to see fuzzy white mold forming on the shoulders of the roots right where they attach to the crowns.

Also I'm seeing fuzzy white and grey mold on the roots in the 4" tubes above the water line.

Lots of new white roots developing. Roots in the water are turning black but ok above the water

What should I do?

Lower your water height...

Thanks Rupe,

I'll try that. I'll have to divert some of the water coming out of the grow bed some how. Right now it's using gravity from the grow bed into the NFT. Maybe I'll have to use a Tee and a valve to control the water to the NFT.
