I'm running a mini DWC with 2 clones, both girl scout cookies. This main clone I'll show you is about 2 weeks young now and has been growing rapidly.
My first res (2 weeks ago) was 4 gallons of RO water, 1 tsp of GH Maxibloom and 1 tsp of GH Calimagic. pH was steady at 5.8. However, after about a week I started noticing some sort of brown/reddish residue forming on the bottom of my reservoir. Not too sure what it was but my roots were fine and my plants were growing so I brushed it off. In the next few days, I decided to just get rid of the res and make sure that I clean it thoroughly and that I rinse off the hydroton.
After cleaning, I refilled the res with 4 gallons of RO water, 2 tsp of GH Maxibloom, 2 tsp of GH Calimagic, and 1 tsp of GH Armor Si (silica). The next morning, there was more of the same brown/red residue on the bottom of my res. But worse! The roots also were covered in that same residue. It didn't seem like slime or root rot for me but I decided to add some H2O2 to my system just as precaution. They are looking slightly better but I just want to see what you guys think.
