okay so i am growing in a 5 gallon bucket DWC, did a res change yesterday and did my first nutes with General Hydroponics flora series and hydrogaurd. My bucket is at PH 5.8, Res temp 64'F, Grow tent temp 73.5F. And when i got home today to look at my reservoir i noticed it smells mildewy and is cloudy. I looked at my plants roots no browning roots they don't feel squishy or slimy. inside the bucket doesn't feel slimy or anything i am super confused on what is going on. any advice would help! my net pot is very deep the roots havent broken out of the net pot yet, i have the water just barely under the root starter and the roots that have started. That plant is only a 1 week old from sprout. it has it's first serrated leaves and is starting its second set.

I use the flora series, flora blend, and Floralicious Plus. My rez gets funky smelling and cloudy. Not the mention all the shit floating around from the bennies. I don't have any issues.. Her's a picture of my veg res after I didn't change it for 2 weeks. This is an extreme case and I still had no issues.

Sometimes the best cure is more bubble action and a splash of h202..
