    Default Root smell in water farm

    Just a quick one , I've got 3 10L waterfarms with Big Bidduah Cheese one in each farm . They are 3 weeks in to flower and have just notice one is starting to smell a bit bad from the roots and the blue drain pipe . I've took the plant out looking for root problems but all looks fine and this is the only one that's smelling like this .any help appreciated

    Forgot to mention it's an egg kinda smell and am using the top halo feeder and was using air stones but had to remove the air stone in the one which smells as the water was backing up through the drain pipe which I thought was the roots coving it as the roots are massive and nearly completely fill the farm . Thanks SSS

    i use advanced sensi zym its the same as voodoo juice.. this will keep your roots nice and white and no smell ....there is another product called great white shark....
    trust me i dont like 5 grows in a waterfarm .... buy a 250ml bottle it will last you at least 3 grows...once you get root rot your plant just stop growing and you should chop the brown roots off ....i use ph perfect nutes too if that also helps ...i dont even use a ph meter anymore....peace and good luck

    Thanks lousizzle appreciate it , Im using advanced myself atm and still have a lot of voodoo juice left so can use that straight away . Would you say it sounds like the start of root rot that I'm getting because I checkd the root ball the other day and all looks white and healthy but still smells a bit .thanks SSS
