Is your res light proof?
Change your water, rinse the roots down with water.

yeah its cause your water gets stagnant and that slime is created...happens in dishwater all the time(well at least mine anyway i only do em once evey 4 or 5 days lol) But my res is ok i cange water once a week during seed and once every two week for veg. I am not sure if a little peroxide may help control it a little. I would ask someone whith more knowledge on peroxide I personally never needed it so i dont know exactly how to add it or in what incriments. Good luck

possibly more bubbles too??? is it a DIY bubbleponics?? or bought from a store?

Hello murdah700,
Are you using Stealth Hydro's pH up and down? If so, you could be seeing what a couple other people saw on their roots. Take a look at this thread. https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/37836-white-slime-my-roots-airstones-3.html. Basically, they narrowed the problem down to Stealth Hydro's pH up/down and bought General Hydroponics pH up/down and fixed the problem. Keep us posted.

maybe ur temp is getting too high.wuts ur res temp at?

ok my res temp is at 71.2 i did have light leaking in so yesterday i spray painted my rubbermaid black change my water put in fresh nutes rinsed the roots off before lights off ph was at 5.96 ppm 806 at lights on this morning ph was at 6.78 ppm 797 and the slime was back on the roots. yes its a DIY bubbler 31 gallon rubbermaid with 4 air stones i have eleven plants the tallest is 9 inches. i've only been using general hydroponics ph up and down

My res temp gets up there pretty high (mid 80's) and I have slimy roots in my 2 black bucket DWC/bubbler/waterfarm setups.
I let them veg for a month & now almost 2 weeks into flowering. I change the water every week, add some hydro peroxide every other day, & loads of bubbles.
But the plants are rocking even with the slime...lots of new white hairs and bud sites

It's my first grow so I don't know how big of a deal it really is. I mean, should I care?
What will happen? kill the plants? stunt the gowth? make them explode?

change res water more regularly and or add water additives that minimize this kind of growth

Res temp to high, use frozen water bottles to bring temp down, ur ph is wawy hgh, keep it btween 5.4 and 5.8. and change water every couple days till it clearrs up.
