The best thing to keep root rot away is to keep water temps below 72.
Best product I've ever used for my rez is Dutch Master - Zone. I love the stuff, though not sure how it would vibe with those nutes you are using. I suggest anyone running hydro use DM Zone. (that means you budolskie)
I also think anyone running hydro should use a Silica supplement of any brand. Silica is the bees knees.
And
@budolskie... I sure hope it's possible to run more than one male in a small tent !!!! I got a 'couple' in a tent together as well.
Exciting times around here... the trichome army has begun their march. Super stoked. Oh, also got gifted 1000w worth of lights from a friend. Friends are good to have.
DM zone is very avalible to me, i'll definitely see if it jives with my nutes.
I appreciate the suggestion!
I'm planning on getting my water chiller and keeping temps at like 65f, is that appropriate?

LIGHT STRENGTH:
Use this schedule from the day you plant out into your system, to the day you harvest for worry free gardening! Recommended for continual use right through grow and flower when water temperature is below 21C / 70F. Add Gold Range ZONE at the rate of 5 ml / 1 teaspoon per 20 litres / 5 gallons of final tank level or volume, with all other additives and before adding your primary nutrient. Check and adjust final nutrient strength using a TDS (PPM or EC) meter. Adjust pH to approximately 5.5 for Rockwool, Perlite, Clay, Vermiculite, Aeroponics, DWC, NFT, Hydro or Coco users or 5.9 for dirt or soilless systems such as Promix or Sunshine mix. See Growers Tips for more info. Feed according to your systems normal requirements.
MEDIUM STRENGTH:
Use this mid range strength whenever your water temperature reaches or exceeds 23C / 74F. Your root zone can quickly get out of balance when your water temperature reaches or exceeds this mark. Using Gold Range ZONE at this strength, before problems occur, will optimize your root zones condition until your water temperature falls back into the safe area below 21C / 70F. Add Gold Range ZONE at the rate of 9 ml / 2 teaspoons per 20 litres / 5 gallons of final tank level or volume, with all other additives and before adding your primary nutrient. Check and adjust final nutrient strength using a TDS (PPM or EC) meter. Adjust pH to approximately 5.5 for Rockwool, Perlite, Clay, Vermiculite, Aeroponics, DWC, NFT, Hydro or Coco users or 5.9 for dirt or soilless systems such as Promix or Sunshine mix. SeeGrowers Tips for more info. Feed according to your systems normal requirements.
AGGRESSIVE STRENGTH:
Use this strength at first signs of a ‘less than optimal’ root zone. Using Gold Range ZONE at this strength is very effective at quickly re-establishing optimal root zone conditions. Once your plants have regained their vigour, return to using medium strength Gold Range ZONE for the remainder of your growing and / or flowering cycles. Add Gold Range ZONE at the rate of 12 ml / 2 ½ teaspoons per 20 litres / 5 gallons of final tank level or volume, with all other additives and before adding your primary nutrient. Check and adjust final nutrient strength using a TDS (PPM or EC) meter. Adjust pH to approximately 5.5 for Rockwool, Perlite, Clay, Vermiculite, Aeroponics, DWC, NFT, Hydro or Coco users or 5.9 for dirt or soilless systems such as Promix or Sunshine mix.
