Well I've had a few little guys going for about 2 weeks now. They looked great until a few days ago. The plants still look good but the roots look like snot. They still are semi white/brown (flora nova turns all my roots brown) but are slimy and have brownish/back balls of slime. If i didnt know better i'de say someone blew their nose on my shit.. PH @5.8-6.0. Water temps might reach 75 tops but normal 70. I have 2 air pumps with 2 outputs on both. EACH plant has an airstone under it. I've been using the same water i always do, and previously had great success. My res doesnt allow light in and has been grown successfully in same res before.
I rinsed the roots with water, got the goo off. Changed the res. nutes and PH.
I checked back THE NEXT DAY and roots look slimy again. The res has ZERO slime on walls. res liquid looks fine.
I have no idea where this slime is coming from as its ONLY found on the roots. The res is changed every 2 weeks. PH is good. PPM is good. Ive done this before with this same setup and never seen this.
How can i get root slime when each plant has an airstone under it, ph is good, ppm is good, temps are good, water is good. ???
