I don't have much experience, but I've watched probably 20 videos. Your old roots will die...they have to. new roots take a minimum of 4 months to start. Feeding with kelpmax helps. You shouldn't do it when it is in flower or trying to put up a flower spike. New growth wont happen as the plant is trying to keep the flower alive. If your old roots are dying off you can clip off all that are bad. S/H is a slow switch.

Which is why it's vitally important to switch to S/H only when there is new root growth. Transplanting at the wrong time and waiting months for new root growth is the main reason for failure.

I would not clip off the dying roots, as that means unpotting and repotting the plant and causing further stress.
