New slim problem

Hey all just looking for some info about whats going on in my DWC bubble buckets. I have very little exp with hydro so I'm just learning atm. Anyways i changed my res and cleaned my buckets about 10 hrs ago and about 30 mins ago I started smelling a bit of funk coming from my closet. This is what I found!
Bucket oneIMAG0585.jpg IMAG0578.jpg IMAG0577.jpg

Bucket twoIMAG0583.jpg IMAG0582.jpg IMAG0580.jpg
Roots were fine before res change.
In each bucket is 2 gal of Distilled water
4 tsp of Flora Grow
4ml of Nitrozime
1/2 ml of Companion (bacillus subtilis)

985ppm in both buckets

PH to 5.4 and temp 65f

Now PH is 6.8-6.9

Is this normal or should i clean bucket and change something up? if so how should i clean the roots?

Thanks ahead of time!

Is that foam in your buckets?

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say it could be the nitrozime. Have you used it before in your system and not have problems? I didn't know what it was off the top of my head, but it looks like it's organic marine algae extract. I wouldn't fuck with it in DWC.

Got it as a prize from Heavy T Grow Show it says its for soil, hydro, and Foliar. no, never used it in DWC, did try it out in soil and Foliar and it seemed to work ok.

I used nitrozine as a foliage spray.. didn't like the algae it formed everywhere with the over spray from foliage spraying. Especially on young seedlings.. it can eat the stem and start to rot in a matter of days from the algea you wont realize it until its a teen and the stalk just breaks in two at base.

It's the nitrozyme. Flush with h202 and discontinue use.

Copy that! I lcan only get ahold of 3 percent h2o2 is this still strong enough to do the cleaning?

If its all you got...or can get...than it will have to do. Bleach is another option but some would say otherwise.

If your gonna go with 3% H202, clean your roots in a seperate bucket. Dont mix 3% H202 with your nutes because of stabilisers added to low % H202
