So I'm doing a smallish indoor grow. I'm growing in soil and using a 32 gallon container to use as a reservoir so I don't have to mix solutions so often. Thing is, I've been letting the water sit in there in order to let the chlorine dissipate. But after a few days the water starts to smell real bad. I read somewhere that the smell is due to unhealthy Anaerobic bacteria, and that of one added an air stone, the good and healthy Aerobic bacteria would take back over. Has anyone dealt with this? I'm about to go buy a little air pump and see if it helps. How do others maintain healthy res water?
