Well, there is a couple theories I have:
1.) I had a water level in my old res, you can see it on the first set of pictures in this thread. This is a clear tube that fills with water from the res so I can see the water level. Maybe the light hitting the water in the level was contaminating it there.
2.) I may have contaminated my nutrient bottles. I bought new nutrients today (Dyna-Grow series). Going to start using them in the RO system
3.) The bacteria is in my roots/netpots/hydroton and even tho I sterilized everything and dipped my net pots in an h2o2 solution I didnt get it all

Hygrozyme is an enzyme that eats and dissolved dead organic matter. So it basically eats away at anything dead on my roots and causes it to dissolve away. So far I can tell its working, even only after 4 hours my roots already look whiter and I am seeing faster root growth.

If the enyzmes dissolve the dead organic matter than there is no food for the bad bacteria thus they get starved out.

Man you get things done quick lol... how is the plants overall growth ? once my Scrog is in place I can't look at roots so I've kind ov got used to not viewing them & using my top growth & ppm readings as an indicator rapid growth & ppm drops when the plant is in its groove run hand-in-hand a sativa I dominant strain will usually really get busy in the 3-4 weeks after the flip

I'm wondering if it's the stuff that people said was an expensive peroxide though?

Was trying to learn about it and came across this article. It's opponent just happened to be made by Canna who I'm hyped up to use for next grow.

I think you found the culprit that happened on my homemade dwc my factory sight tubes are tinted blue algae accumulated in the clear one I'm gonna wrap my clear hose in black tape except the 2 inches I have to see or order some tinted hose

It does appear that it works in the same fashion through a different compound obviously. But if peroxide fails me I'd probably try the product by Canna. However with that being said, slow down my man. You remind me of me, being too reactive and end up waisting money on stuff I didn't ultimately need.

I dunno I'd want no visible water line. I'll pop my lid to peek.

The original fan leaves look like trash, they are yellowing and brown spots. Lack of nutrients the few days I was flushing with h2o2 for sure, however the new growth looks just fine. I am getting about half an inch of root growth a day so thats good too.
All the leaves including the new growth are drooping, I don't blame them though. I have put them through hell and back the last few days. All the new cola's and stems are slow growing which has caused the plant to be very compact and bushy. I need some stretch so that the inner part of the "bush" can get some light and air flow. The total height is about 5 inches and I need another 3 to 5 before they will hit my screen.

I try to remind myself to just let them do their thing and not baby them too much. When I see that slime/algae I get worried and try to be more proactive than reactive. Rather take care of it before it turns into a full on disaster scenario. On the bright side of all of this, I am learning so many thing not to do. I think I am owed an easy, flourishing and abundant harvest for my 2nd grow.

Changed the res out this morning, still using tap water. I need to flush the RO tank a few more times still.
Added 5 gallons ph water + nutrients + 15ml h2o2 35%
Put the drip system back in with top feed 2gallon per hour. Letting the h2o2 do its things from the top up of the plants. Defoliated the dead leaves. They were starting to break off so I went ahead and removed them.
I think I am just gonna run h2o2 + nutrients for the next few weeks and leave out the bennies until I feel like I have a sterilized environment again.

Are you using the trio? All three? Cuz you really dont need all 3. I use GH also. In soil though. Have you tried simplifying the nutes. Like lucas formula. +calmag and of course stuff for ph.
