No its not the Co2 thats not very high at all. You got any pics of the roots? What is your pump size for the buckets. You might not have enough flow to your buckets. This system is a little tricky to get dialed in at first. So I'm assuming you went straight from clone into this system. At three weeks you should have a ton of roots in the buckets. Mine have been in for three days and already are shooting out new shoots into the buckets. The roots should be pretty white and definetely no smell. Take some pics and post em up so people can see what your talking about.
You say your room temp is 79. What is the temp at your plant tops?
If your in doubt about your roots then Id say drain and re mix, I fought Res's for 10 days and 3 change outs before I beat whatever it was in my res's that was causing slime. I attributed my issues to drywall dust!!
Whats nutes are you using?
I'm no DWC guru but this sounds like pythium.....try some sm-90 or h2o2food grade I started my regimine at 1.5 ml a gallon in my rez when I had root rot but my rot was because of a 74F rez and your temps seem normal so it seems kinda suspect, I too have had to deal with the slime an occasion or 2 and I agree with garden of dreams and change that shit out....repeatedly if need be. what's that you say nutes are expensive?? but so is losing your whole damn crop!! I would PM one of these bucket kings on these forums (if you copied DD system then I'm sure you already can think of 4-5 dudes that can prolly hit your nail right on the head) good luck bro be cool I know these problems can drive a person crazy.
Check co2 levels in the air and at roots. JK
if you rub the roots do they come apart in your hands? Are those yellow lids light proofed on the top side?
Personally I would run a super mild mix of straight RO and peroxide thru the system for a hour or 2 and then drain and make a fresh new batch, Im hearing Hygrozyme and DWC dont get along and I had the same issue personally, Got rid of the Hygorzyme and did the rinse and things are back to normal. Rather be safe then sorry.
I was able to pull each plant out and dunk the roots in a 5 gall bucket off bubbling R/O /peroxide and I literally rinsed and rubbed all the roots and removed all the slime and loose roots. They went from slime to crispy and clean in my hands, Once I started I did them all and then cleaned all the res's and started over. Its a pita but it then your done chasing your tail!
good luck!!
