So i always find when i do a complete change of nutes indoor veg area i have root rot form if the plant is young. If its a large rootball no problem. Avg temp 68-69. Ph is identical when i change them as are water temps. Could this be a lack of bennys? Flora series 6.2ph. Just weird its only on younger plants. If i use 3% h202 cap full for 4 days its gone and no issues ever again except it stunts plant for a week and only when i do a full change. If i do partial changes no issues.

where are the clones coming from?
that would be my 1st question, 2nd would be your res either too high temps or lack of oxygen??

I think you need to sterilize your tap/well water. Ever consider going sterile? I've been using chlorine (bleach) in DWC for many years. I add 3-4ppm to everything that's added to the reservoir.

If you're looking for directions here's a good thread to get started https://rollitup.org/t/bleach-instead-of-h2o2.327967/

Here's a ppm/dilution calculator : http://www.foodsafe.ca/dilution-calculator.html

Cheers!
only thing i use in my dwc is silver bullet as a preventative measure
