I have taken some pics of the roots today. Here they are. Also when I came home the ppm went up by another 30 or so, and the water had a faint smell of sulfur, which I assume means she is still flushing a little bit. So because of that I decided to drain that water and give her a fresh batch of tap water pH balanced to 5.8, which has a ppm of 65. When I did this yesterday the base ppm was in the 60s so I take the fact that the ppm rose to mean she still wasn't quite ready for a small batch of nutrients. Anyways before I took the pics of the roots there was a kind of dark sludgy buildup on the lower part of them, a little brown, which could've either been from the brown colored organic nitrogen, or from possible fungus in the tank. Either way I mixed a small amount of clearex and water in a spray bottle and sprayed down the roots with it which cleared off all of the buildup. I am hoping that doing that is productive somehow, because it seemed like it was hindering the root uptake, etc. Anyways here are the root pics let me know what you think.
