Bad Smelling DWC resovoir after adding nutrients

Is it normal for the water to get stinky after I add nutrients? A few hours after I added nutes to my DWC system a foul odor has permeated my room and starting to get into my house.
 
I've had a similar issue lately. It's not consistent. Sometimes I can go the whole week and at the end the water will be clear and smelling fine. And sometimes within a matter of hours the water gets cloudy and smells funky. I really have no idea why. I started adding some dutch master zone recently when I refill the rez and that seems to have curbed it. At least for the last 2-3 weeks I have been using it.

EDIT: I'm using GH 3 part nutes, RO water and some cal-mag +
 
I just had the same exact issue adding a week old pre mixed gallon of water and roots organic to a plant in coco, resulted in a BAD stink.

I know you're new so don't take offense to this, but this is a 5 year old thread buddy. Not really gonna get much of a response here.

Once you mix your organic fertilizer you basically have 24 hours to use it. So letting it sit for a week is where your smell came from. Don't do that again and you should be fine.
