hey this is my first post but i have been on here reading about growing for about a year, i started growing in dirt, but now have decided to give hydro a try. i built a aireoponics unit out of a 18 gallon tote, covered it with reflective tape top to bottom. have 3, 6" net pots with rockwool and clay pebbles, 2 small air pumps and a larger 2 outlet air pump connected to 2 large air stones. also have a carbon water filter connected to my main plumbing lines to fill my tanks with out chlorine water. I plan on connecting 3 of these totes together as soon as i work out the bugs. I am using a hanna ec, tds, ph meter and using vinegar to lower the ph. I added 1 tbs of Thrive alive green label to my 16 or so gallons of water, 300ml of hydrogen peroxide 3%.

specs
18 gal tote
3 air pumps
2 large air stones
1tbs thrive alive green
vinegar to lower ph
hanna ph ppm meter
300ml hydrogen peroxide 3%

my Ph fluctuates alittle between 5.3-6.3 depending on how long i dont monitor it temps between 75-80F. seems that this bacteria growth takes off when i add the thrive alive maybe because its organic? i tryed to eliminate all light leakage into the container, buit think some might have been getting in through the net pots tops so i put aluminum foil over the tops of the pots. also thinking maybe when i check the ph a few times a day the light that gets in then might be what is causing this massive bacteria growth to happen. I could use some expert advice on this problem because its raising hell in my room. as for nutrients go i plan on using GH 3 part along with flora blend and koolbloom, starins are white widow (pic) himilan gold, and super silver haze. I think im going to try some bag seed until i can get this under control i can waste any more seeds.
