Hey everyone, I have a problem with my nutrients in the reservoir I can't figure out the problem to.
I used R/O water with about 20 ppm from a very nice r/o system. I'm using dyna-gro grow with their pro-tekt silicon solution.
Here’s what I did. I cleaned out the reservoir and everything with a water and H2O2 solution. I after added 28 gal of clean r/o water to res. then added the pro-tekt in a 2.5 ml to gallon ratio. I mixed this all in then added dyna-gro grow formula in a ratio of 10ml to gal. Stirred this all up and then added H2O2 in a ratio of 2.1 ml to gal. Stirred this all up and didn’t water any plants or anything with it. On the second day after mixing the new nutrients I woke up to find this sediment at the bottom of the reservoir.

Ok so I was told that I should ditch the H2O2 just to see if thats it, so I did. This time sanitizing everything again with a H2O2 solution and then adding 14 gallons of fresh r/o water. I added the pro-tekt in the same ratio of 2.5ml per gal. Mixed it up and then added the dyna-gro grow formula in the same ratio of 10ml per gal. I mixed up this solution well and the next day it looked great, nice and clear and slightly blue. I watered the plants with this via my recirculating drip system once, for 15 min a few hours after the lights turned on. The next day I woke up to find the resivor looking like this...

My ph was kept within range at 6.0, and my E.C. is at 1.5 milisiemens. I followed the directions given by dyna-gro perfectly and I have an air stone running 24/7.
Thanks so much for any help.
