Easy fix here too!
I just set up my aero flo and had everything going better than expected... unfortunately I raised the reservoir to high off the ground and the lights are warming the channels. Went from 65 to 74 deg F overnight. Now plants are looking slightly diff almost the same with the untrained eye, so I looked at the roots and there is some gooey grey/black build up on the roots and my organic nute mix is excessively sudsy in some areas now. I know to flush it but I wanna know is there remedy to pull all the shit off the roots and start fresh with the a fresh nute solution. Keep in mind all this happened over night so I wanna just get rid of it for a perfect harvest. Advice? Hydrogen Peroxide per gallon maybe? idk

hey there. you'll have to do your fact checking, but as far as I'm reading on this site from the more experienced growers is that using h202 in your tank does two things. Kills the bacteria that causes root rot, and kills the plants defenses at the same time. so if you are gonna use it in your res, be sure your plants and area are clean and that you take care of the issue that was causing the problem. To keep my res temp down, I usually throw some ice cubes in there once a day. You can also use a fan to blow across your resivoir. That has helped me keep the temps down as well. as for the sudsy nute mix I couldn't say if the temp is the reason. But for myself not using organics, I have my res go that high semi regularly and it doesnt do the same with my general hydroponics. hope any of this helps.

Use dutch master zone at 1ml per 3L ratio.
It works great for me no brown goo and its easier to work with than H202 (not flammable and doesnt bleach if spilled).

Clean all the gunk out as best you can first of course.

Good luck
