hey guys I'm a long time lurker first time poster, first time grow.
i decided to go the dwc route and transplanted my (soil) starter plugs 6 days ago.
first i cleaned everything(net pot lids, buckets, ayirstone lines) thoroughly with hydrogen peroxide and rinsed with ph balanced water. (6.0)
second i rinsed the hydroton in a colander with tap water for about 5 minutes, agitating it with my hands, then rinsed with a light hydrogen peroxide/6.0ph water solution. very thoroughly.
something that slipped my mind- cleaning the air stones. i just hooked em up and dropped em in.
here we are on day 6 and the plants are growing, plants are doing great, look great, average temp is 70f and keeping my ph around 5.5-6.0, ppm is 100. i went in to check on them today and when i took the lid off the smell of STINKY FEET hit me like a ton of bricks. i mean like foul, you have a problem, need to see a doctor, stinky feet.
i know this is not a good thing, but what in the world could have caused it? and what do i do, other than dump my rez and clean everything and start over.
btw the roots are not coming out of the net pot yet.
thanks in advance
