Default Oncidium root dieoff?

I have a large Oncidium in a Coco fiber lined hanging basket with no
potting medium, outside, morning sun, 60% humidity average, 70-90
degrees heat. It is growing roots and putting up 3 new pbulbs. Some of
the new roots die back. Any idea as to the reason for this?
I spray it to full runoff twice daily with RO water and 1/4 teaspoon
MSU fertilizer, morning and noon..
