hmmm. thas odd. real odd..... in fact probably couldnt be further from the truth :P
all i do IS hydro and aero.... excluding my coco medium based mothers.
brown slime will not grow just because you use Roots Excellurator.
On the contrary, Roots Excellurator IS the
only product on THE market to [safely/gently] rid your roots of pythium/root rot without hurting the plant itself. Sure physan 20 works...but that is the last option aka the NUKE option!!!! lol :boogie:
Brown Slime & dirty reservoirs are indicative of TOO hot reservoir temps, not to mention dirty ass nutes.
I also beg to differ when you say if you use it, it should be changed out every 6-7 days.... I bet you would call me a liar (so ill post pics). I always laugh when folks say that.... cuz for one...i barely even clean my cloner...i mean how dirty could it get? only clones right? I keep RO water in there mixed along with Roots Excellurator and i keep my soup for about 3 weeks.... and i get 3 cycles outta that with each crop/cycle rooting in 3-5 days. im at 100% and have been for a while now (few years..lost count)

this is one of my controller buckets with nutrients (INCLUDING roots excellurator) thas has been in that controller bucket for at least 1.5 weeks. 6-7 days or brown slime will grow? HA! i laugh at that :D

Now....while high temps in hydroponic reservoirs arent ideal....clones on the contrary, prefer warmer temps (think seeds and germination). You water cloner temps should be 72-78F....however with that said....i dont check my temps nor my pH of my cloner. Nor do i try to "control" my temps either. Shit just works, yo.
I used to use
clonex cloning solution for my aerocloner, but that shit is just retarded dosage ratio @ 10mL per liter if my memory serves me correct. Fuck that shit, i would almost use up a whole L of the shit for 1 or 2 rounds.
Then i found Roots Excellurator. At 1.1mL per gallon ratios.... thas less than $0.26 cents per gallon of feed water....
Frankly you just cant beat that, especially for the worlds greatest rooting stimulating product
P.S. House & Garden has a big reputation for being some of the cleanest running nutrients AND additives...
:D
also, this is not to bash anybody.... i just seen some misinformation in this here thread and thought i would put my 2cents in seeing that this is a forum community and all :D :afroweed:

res doesnt look dirty/slimey to me :banana::afroweed:
i mean WHY anybody in their right mind NOT use this product (roots excell) in hydro/aero (or any other grow method for that matter) is beyond me :D
dont blv the hype...its only 1mL per gallon, really how much of a headache and/or how DIRTY could ya res get with 1mL per gallon?
confusing? i think not :D
hope this helps clear up a few things
