Rotten smell...

[Kayaspop]

My plants are flowering, week two. I'm running 1, 600w HPS on a 12/12. I'm at about 1200ppm and 5.7 ph. the plants all look healthy, but I've noticed a rotten smell in the room. Could it be mildew in the carpet? I'm not sure whats going on.. any suggestions? :rasta:

it could be the carpet under the buckets you are using or it could be the roots too. Any sign of root rot?

yeah, there was a bit a root rott that I caught weeks ago. I stopped the cannazine and rhizontonic and started using Hydro. peroxide.. a very mild solution.That seemed to work and just the other day I noticed a mucuous like substance on some roots.. so i removed it and changed out the water. I need to remove the carpet, but can't until flowering is done.

Well wish me luck.

Will some forms of root rot give off a rotten smell or could lack of fresh air during the dark cycle be the problem?

I would get some hygrozyme...it is kind of expensive, but it rebuilds dead root matter
