Whats up yall newb here needing some help if possible. I have a 12 bucket rdwc hydro system with 30 gallon rez. I have 3 unknown strains growing in there with 2 autos that are about to harvest. My issue is these three unknown bag seed plants all are really yellowing are rend have serious root rot. I used technaflora recipe for success along with hydroguard as recommended for root rot and I use iced water jugs to try to keep it cold but temps still stick around 77 even 78 . I've flushed the system cleaned it tried using h202 and even bleach but that damm root rot keeps coming back on these unknowns....any help appreciated here's sone pics.

You gotta get those res. temps down. Lower than 75, 68 is sweet. The hydroguard is probably working but all that work is wasted if the environment isn't right.

Maybe kick aeration up a bit if you can. Maybe find a way to chill the air you're pumping in.
I blocked all light from penetration below the top of my buckets, and aimed a fan at the bucket. I also pump the aeration air in from outside my cabinet.

I know man your right it's a dam struggle. Water temps have literally been the bane of my existence. I do have the remaining buckets covered from light and even have the rez outside of the actual tent. I mean literally no light hits the rez and the temps still creep high if I don't replace ice jugs every 6 hours.....anything past that and the temps turn up....I'm gonna try keeping a fan over it that's a good idea i guess I'll have to just keep adding more water more frequently huh

Replace ice jugs every 4 hours. You might want to repost in the hydroponics forum.

Some guys insulate their buckets and rez.
