Yeah, I know it's hard to tell, but what was the PH to your best guestamite?
And I certainly don't see any rot root in those pictures. The roots look nice and white. As you add nutes that will change over time so don't get freaked out about it when it happens. Especially with organic nutes. Where I thought I saw rot was where the Rapid Rooter was touching the roots the most, and I thought the stem right there looked brown and squishy. If it's not right now then don't worry about root rot. Roots look great, and they will really start bulking up soon with the new nutrients.

turns out my ph was a little high with just plain spring water, maybe slightly over 6.....it was probably even higher back when I was using those crappy nutes that came with the aerogrow. anyway, ph is now at 5.5-5.75 range (test strips are not exact, but i'm definitely in this range) which was the reading last night and then again this afternoon. I am still using the fox farm grow big at 1/3 strength. a few of the yellowed leaves crumbled off the plants and i removed one myself...everything looks good except for that one plant with the crinkled leaves (see pic) which I think is a phosphorous deficiency.
I should be getting my HID early next week...when do you think it's ok to start using it? when should i start upping the nutes?

They will be just fine at 1/3 strength, but they just might not be if you raise the amount at this point. To be as safe as possible during this recovery I would wait 3 or 4 days, then start upping it slowly if everything else looks good. (from yesterday)
And you can start using the HID right away, just keep it 3 feet back for the first day, then start moving it closer a couple inches daily while you watch for signs of heat stress. Also you don't want leaf temps to be more than 80 degrees, so keep the air around them no more than 82 degrees. This will make it hard to get the light close, so vent, and then vent some more.

And where is the bubble stone or air wand? This is important believe it or not, and it will help your solution be less stagnant and therefor less cloudy.

my ph seems to have shot up..i am fluching out the res right now....i can't see the air wand....plus the water in the res looks like it's moving a lot less than it was before....oldjimmybones, you have an aerogrow, right? do you know where the air wand is? is it possible that some roots got stuck in there and circulation is not good?

ph is a bitch i adjust mine EVERYDAY, but anyway there is no airwand in the aerogarden

I have some ph down, instead of a full flush can I just add a little bit at a time to the res until i'm good?

if the waterflo is not strong enought, remove the white filter on theplant holder(top half of the revisor) and there is a dial (pump control) which it prob set to 2 or 3, change it to 5

yea, but PH DOWN IS VERY STONG so add very little at a time on my aerogarden i add 1-2 drops at a time then wait 5mins for the pump to mix it in then check and add more if necessary

If that's the case, I don't think I would try anything organic. It's more likely to have chunks.
Also I didn't think the garden came with an air stone. I highly recomend putting one in. Better yet an air wand.
