Hi. New to dwc. 2nd grow. First grow was a success. This second grow started with seeds ordered from the single single seed centre. Germinated seeds and transplant the 6 seedlings into one five gallon bucket. There are holes drilled in the bucket lid for the 6 rapid rooter plugs I had started the seeds in. It's been two weeks and they're not doing good. Res smells like an aquarium. Roots are Brown and smelly. Tried bleach and water soak to clean the rooter plugs and roots, tried h202 and also sodium hypoclorite pool shock mixed with water that a buddy hooked me up cuz that's how he sterilizes his res. The blesch, h202 and sodium hypoclorite did not work. Aquarium stench comes back every time I clean and sterlize everything and make a new res. What I'm adding in my res is ro water, then CaliMagic (calmag) from general hydroponics. Then GH Micro and Bloom after the calmag, then ph down if needed. Nothing else in my res. In my cupboard I have florakleen, floralicious plus, florablend vegan plant booster,and liquid koolbloom. I'm not using any of those bottles yet. I love in michigan where it's cold and snows allot. So I had my plants in the basement where it's really cold. Thought instead of constantly running a heater down there id bring the plants inside where it is cuz70 to 80 degrees which I believed started the root rot and stench. The aquarium stench has went down since I moved it back in the basement where it's 52 degrees ferenheit currently. How do I treat my infected roots, propely sterilize my equipment and then what to do to prevent it from happening again once I get rid of it? I think it's too cold to run Heisenberg tea in my grow environment. Please help. I put everything I had into my grow and I really need this to work.
