2 Gallon buckets with lids. Completely wrapped with HVAC heavy duty aluminum tape. Lids same. There are no light leaks from the tape or lid/bucket seal. Drilled a 2" hole in the center of the lid for the netpot. Drilled a 1" hole near the edge for the airline tubing and air to escape. Covered the hole with some reflective bubble wrap, tented so air can escape. Running 2 Apollo horticulture 6 outlet 35 watt 40 lpm air pumps each one has one run per pot so they are redundant. 2 CREE CXA 3070's for light. Air temp peaked at 81 today, but usually around 70. I had covered the AC unit to prevent draft from unseasonably (sub zero) cold air.
The water is SM-90 and Botanicare CNS 17 Bloom. These went straight from clone to flow, small test run SOG. I run the same nutes/sterile on a low pressure aeroponic SCROG setup, in the same room, with no issues of growth. The clones were clean when they went in, the buckets were new and clean, and the airline and stones were all new. Pics are of the worst affected plant. I had a run of root rot in a low pressure aero sprayer system a while back, this looks a lot different. It looks almost like eggs on the sides of the bucket, and the roots almost look like they have dirt in them.
My only guess is the temp ran a bit high and the tented foil is not blocking out all the light. I've not had issues with root rot since dropping room temp and keeping the SM-90 in the water. Was way more troublesome when I ran live culture.
