HELP! Root Rot?

i have a 2 plant dwc system, in a 10 gal fishtank, and i have a brownish fuzz on my roots, i washed my whole system out last night, took my plants out and rinsed the roots off with warm wather, disinfected my whole system with hydrogen peroxide, i was up till 3 am doing it, refilled, added nutes and ph balanced, then when i got up this morning the fuzz is back!
could it be nutes building up on my roots, or is this the dreaded root rot.

Could be I had a nute that did it everytime I used ti Oneness by Humboldt , but I would check for light leaks which imo is usually the prob... Make sure no light is reaching the soulution and check the temp of your solution , coud be a lil high due to enviornment or light penetrating..

Good Luck..
 
i am using aurora innovations, it is organic, with guano in it, that might be my problem, im going to go to the hydro shop and see what i can get to fix my problems
 
i cleaned everything and added 2 different bacteria things that had all the stuff in them listed in the thread, and the slime still came back, not quite as bad as before but it came back.

Yea def the bat guano. You should switch to something chemical based like GH hydro lucas, or botanicare power flower with calmag. Always add bennies but no molassas to dwc. stop using the h202 and switch to bennies. Great white is a useful product.

I think it is possible to run organic dwc but you may need a chiller.
