So a couple years ago I started keeping a bubbling res to water my girls from. Thing is, I used to be in a much cooler climate. Now it seems like my res dies, going from sweet to poopy smelling, with just a couple days of a usable window. I have been mixing 20 gal or more at a time so it sucks when the bottom half of that gets tossed. Now, I know it's probably temp related (right) but are there any tricks, beyond a chiller to keep it alive and thriving? I am using EJ nutes and I typically add (veg room) grow, cat, some micros, and maybe some kelp. Would adding some extra catalyst at day 4 keep the microbes fed enough to keep the mix alive? Typically I just add solution fully mixed and bubble it, test PH until it's normal. Recently when I test at day 5 it's up 2 points from day 4! Soon after the shitty smell starts, it smells muddy and then turns like it's getting no air.
