Soil grown runoff smells bad and strong ec

[Gtjoker420]

So I put some clones in some roots 707 soil with EWC the other day.
I watered till some runoff came off today,
The runoff smells pretty bad and the ph was around 7.5 the ec got super high and made my meter just say OH.
Not sure what I should do to fix this issue. I really don't wanna lose these cuts from this plant.

Flush with pH water

Curious on what kind of smell you speak of. A stagnant sewage like smell could indicate anaerobic activity and the soil staying too wet.

run off smelling bad = root rot in most cases. use something to sterilize, either h2o2 or chlorine. i find pool shock works well, and is pretty stable. 2 grams in a gallon of water as a stock solution, then add 1 oz of that per gallon of feed water every other time you water and it should keep your pots nice and sterile. i might use 2 or even 3 oz per gallon for the first time or two to get shit under control, then drop down to one oz per gallon to maintain

id set your pots up on something to get them out of those saucers, yopu don't want them to reabsorb that water, it's got a lot of depleted salts in it that will burn your roots slowly

You’re running organic and it smells bad. First experience using organics?

It is organic soil.
I've been running organics for a while.
I m actually planning to put these clones on a floraflex diet, I just had to uppot them as they were hungry and my order wasn't gonna be here till today from floraflex.

So you all think I should water very heavily right now to flush everything out? Maybe add a little hydrogen peroxide to the water?

Overwatering is likely what caused the anaerobic conditions.
If you've been doing organics for awhile then you know you cant get an accurate reading from run-off.

Those plants look OK. If it were me, I'd just leave them alone.

i missed the whole organics thing...southern ag makes a product thats WAY cheaper than great white and most of it's competitors

the 8 oz container makes around 50 gallons, for under 10 bucks, and has more bacillus amyloliquefaciens than great white or clear-res

Wait nevermind I think the only plant that had runoff was this stupid auto flower I was let going. It had other stuff in the soil as well because it was flowering. I just trashed it and wow it smelled like sewage so bad. I never knew something in a small little 1 gal could smell that bad haha
