My Grow:
DWC
seeds from lowlife; 2 mix packs (autos)
5 fem Nightshade seeds from Barneys
Standard 3 part GH nutes
My available grow space is 4.5 X 4.5
I have two 150wt HPS "area" lights
I have 3 23wt CPF lights (blue spec)
I am using 4 gallon clear plastic totes (covered to block light)
I use one 6wt air pump and two 1 inch airstones per tote
My temps range from 74f to 86f, water temps 65-70
The closet has a vent blowing in from my central air unit
I have two 8inch fans, more available
I use tap water, starts with a PH of 6.8ish, 300ish PPM
4 weeks into auto flower, my plants look great and my roots are mostly white and crisp. My tubs are virtually lightproof, I was very careful to plug any light leaks. After a few days the water get this stingy white substance in it. It does not appear to be algae. It does not have a smell. The plants do not seem to be bothered by it. When I pull the containers out and let the roots hang out of the water, some of them appear to be covered in snot. There is no color to this snot, just clearish or milky white. The tubs have quite a bit of air pumped through them, and I also use h2o2.
Considering the size of this forum, I am sure this question has been asked before, however none of the many search terms I tried and hours of reading have led me to the answer.
Any ideas?
