Aeroponics and molasses and root slime?

[Italiano715]

thanks for the reply, It is a homemade unit and I have been taking steps to light proof it but it is a possiblity. do you think the slime would be off the same result? or would molasses build on the roots like that? I thought that the use of the benficials would keep other bacterias away but this looks like some funk happin

I used a tsp a gallon for the molasses btw and mixed it well before adding it to the res. I dont use sprayers so cloging isnt an issue

molasses will generally turn the roots a light brown color, but shouldn't get slimey. If the ROOTS are slimey then you may have root rot. If I were to GUESS I'd say you may have a possible light leak somewhere that's getting into the reservoir.

How old are your kids and have you had any other problems up until now?
