Hi. I've been having issue with my Autopot setup. Last week I noticed whitish sludge in the reservoir and obstructing the tubing. I am not using any organic nutrients. At the time I was only using GHE cal mag, Flora micro, gro, bloom, growth technology liquid silicon and growth tech aquaburst. I didnt think of contamination as there was no foul smell.
But I did a complete overhaul anyways and soaked the whole system including the valves and tubing in peroxide.
With the new batch of nutrient mix, I excluded the liquid silicon as I read somewhere that cal mag can have a reaction with silicon which causes precitate. Almost a week later, again one of the tube got obstructed with the whitish/brownish sludge. So what is the cause? I am already using water pump to help the nutrient circulate in the reservoir.
