Plant And root problem. aeroflo

Hi, my name is George, I've had a problem the last two laps. My setup is: aeroflo, inlet water 7.6 ph and 0.7 ec (because it's terrible, it can't be done otherwise), chill keeps the temperature of the solution at max 22c, room temperature 24-28c. I put the same genetics every time, my friend supplies them to me. the first problem that started bothering me: when planting a clone in the system, no roots... after a week, white "slime" appears in the sprout, the roots will not go into the water at all. After changing the solution, the clones will start to spice up. Flowers grow well in the growth phase. After switching to 12/12, after about a week it starts to rot and randomly die (some flowers that grew in good condition die in one day).
The second problem: about 5 flowers die for nothing and from day to day even if they are in the same system and it is the same genetics.
after each finished round, I disinfect everything and before I put on new clones, I pour about 300 ml of 30% hydrogen peroxide into the solution for 24 hours for 200 liters and after 24 hours I soot. It will be my problem
some root rot, but I don't know how to get rid of it. I will add a photo in the next post. Maybe I forgot something, so ask. Please help only those who know what I'm talking about. From what I have learned, chlorine shock or bleach could help (I have no experience with this. I would prefer to use beneficial bacteria / fungi, for example Trichoderma or Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Will this help me solve my problem? I thank all the pollinators who will devote their precious time to this fiber.

If you use the same genetics everytime, try growing something different,your friends mother could be infected with pythium or fusarium. What are you using for nutrients? and why are you running your ph so high?

I also thought that it could be from a friend of mine, but I have two systems and in one only one plant died, the others are fine. In the second system, it spread to everyone. I use Metrop mr1/2 callgren, the pH is the input water, otherwise I lower the pH to 5.6-6.

^^^ this, use Ca Hypochlorite (pool shock). Although you can get away with Sodium Hypochlorite, sodium can compete so I use pool shock. A 1 lb bag can be bought at most any pool store and will last awhile
hi thanks for the response, so is calcium hypochlorite better than sodium hypochlorite? Do I use phosphoric acid to adjust the pH or does it bother me? Thanks

Yes it's marginally better than sodium because usually cannabis needs more Ca during growth than Na. I use phosphoric to adjust as well.
