quick summary: my flowering plants in a coco/hydroton/peat mix will stop "smelling" during mid flower. i usually use southern ag fungicide (hydroguard ) during all of veg and start of flower. but at some point in my last 3 grows, they just stop making the whole grow room reek. to "fix" it, and this is my 3rd time doing this with success, i stop the southern ag and give them a 5ppm dose of chlorine (pool shock). after 2 feedings with the chlorine, the plants start smelling again 24/7
so the question: i think i must have some root rot issues going on, the southern ag doesnt' stop it, and only the chlorine gets the roots healthy again and they smell .
anybody else have this same issue? i've been on forums for awhile and never heard of a root rot issue causing plants to stop smelling.
or is maybe the chlorine stripping off some layer on the roots?
i'm kinda stumped. but i just dosed them with chlorine 2 days ago and the whole basement smells (in a good way) now.
thoughts??? let em rip!!
