Hey guys, sorry to make this post so brief but im rushing to class that started... 9 minutes ago....
I have 3 plants, each in its own res (3.5 gal buckets) using FF Big Bloom and Grow Hydro... along with Hygrozyme.
I have tried adding H2O2 to my reses, from 1 capful per galon all the way to 2.5 per gal
I have tried cooling the rez via ghetto cooling system, with varying temps from very cold, all the way to no cooling....
My question is what should i do? plants look alright growth wise but the roots are not good at all. They have a slime like substance on them, that i can gently pull away from the rootw with y hand. THe reses are also foamy and PH rasies from like 5.3 to 7.1 in about 12 -24 hours. Thanks!
Will post pic when i get bak!@

I had the same problem in my bcnorthernlights producer box starting my second week of flower. It was a brownish slime. my water stayed around 72-74 I added the hygrozyme in the exact quantities it stated to put in per liter and it cleared up over a few days. Roots never looked better. I also cut a small piece of root off my strongest plant and put it under water the slime washed right off for the most part.

I like larger reservoirs, I learned with salt water fish aquariums you have more room for error especially with PH. Your adding the right amount of hygrozyme correct? What about your bucket, is there light penetrating them anywhere?
