Looking for confirmation or other ideas?

This is my first hydro attempt, plenty of novice mistakes.

OK! So I know now why it is a bad idea to transplant from soil to hydro....

Using Waterfarm units and general hydro 3 part.

The plants were looking truly terrible, PH fluctuating like crazy, all the signs of nute block, nothing I was doing was fixing it.

Thought I better look in the buckets, and it was like a horror movie in there, smelt rotten and looked disgusting. Have now flushed with lots of water and cleaned out the buckets, flushed it until I saw no more organic material in the water.

I have now refilled the buckets(1 gal) with grow @ 12ml, bloom @ 3ml, micro @ 6ml, 1ml H2O2, ans 1ml super thrive. Ph is untouched @ 5.8

How's that?

Reservoir temp is way too high. Lower it too 20C or 68F. This will help keep nasty things growing in you reservoir.
