Have done DWC for many grows... never had any issues... until now...
My newt schedule is based on the Lucas Formula... just modified to my needs.
Different levels for different stages of life but always the same products.
RO WATER
GH Micro
GH Bloom
pH UP
Dutch Masters Zone.
RES temps never climb above 65F.. usually lower 60s.
I have used this formula for yrs... never any problems... But now I have 1 35 Gallon Res and it STINKS TO HIGH HELL OF ROTTEN EGGS! for about 3 weeks now... I have tried increasing the Zone to aggressive strength, 12ml per 5 gallons... Not working... I have changed out RES 3 times .. 1 time per week... Not working.. Smell still there and getting worse...
There is ZERO slime or snot... but I am seeing some WHITE FUZZ growth on the air hose line inside the RES.. and the roots look ok but slightly browned... nothing to serious from what I can see... but that's not to say they will stay that way!!!
The smell is getting bad.. I can smell it outside the room... it is even defeating my massive CanFan Filter!
Need to fix this as im afraid of it spreading to other RESes. I have used DM ZONE as I want and feel the need to grow with a sterile root zone... Bennies don't interest me... so im looking for a sterile solution to kill this crap and prevent it from ever coming back!

white fuzz on air line! Noticed 2 days ago... goes all the way down to the top of the water level.
