Nothing lol. I have them in an air conditioned room set at 72 degrees. When it's upper 90s-100 outside its 77-82 in the room. I was getting stringy spaghetti roots at first using only 1:1 RO water and 8.6ph 430ppm tap water and changing water every 3-4 days. Then I started using tap water, silica, enzymes, and KLN rooting solution. Roots with this mix came out beefy, strong, super white, and more of them. More lateral branching on the roots too. I think the key to not getting the slime is changing the res every 3-4 days. When I change out the res I can feel a slight slime/film already. I rinse the res, pump, and manifold with hot ass water and wipe it all down with a paper towel before adding the fresh solution.
This is like 10 days in the closet. Basil, mint, and a habenero,

We have the same cloner. No need to change your water or wipe anything down if you use a little pool shock solution. You may get more roots, too...

I use 2 grams of 73% calcium hypochlorite (pool shock) per gallon to make the solution. I then add about 20-30ml of that to my 3 gallon cloner rez every 2-3 days...
