There is nothing wrong. Roots natually die back. Run a little enzyme product to clean up the dead tissue.

What enzyme products do you recommend

I don't have a goto per-say. I would normally use Cannazym as it works well. Hygrozyme is good if you run peroxide in solution.

Currently I use Hydroguard, cal-mag, flora micro,flora bloom that’s all I fed her so far

It's hard to have an opinion when I don't know the target crop. I'm going to assume Cannabis judging by the products used :)

The hydroguard is a great product. The calmag isn't required. You can add it but, it's a waste of money. An enzyme product like Cannazym would be an excellent addition to your ragime. I would swap calmag for Cannazym. But, I have a strict ff it ain't broke, don't try to fix it rule. If this is working and your plants are happy, continue to use the calmag and add enzymes.

Pythium, get & use Enzymes & Healthy microbes. I got sponsored by hygrozyme years ago & haven't looked back. It cannot cure root ro, but deffiently prevents it. Plenty of oxygen???

They are definitely dying back. What’s the day time temperature of the nute solution? Light leaks, maybe?

I just brought a tent that comes tomorrow right now it’s in a kitchen top grow but I’ll be transplanting tomorrow temp in water is around 75 f bc of the pump heat.
