I wanted to try hydroponic growing since I was child. Finally, few moths ago I started my first DWC system. It was going pretty well I would say till one day. I had 2 days electricity blackout and the nutrient solution did not get aerated. The next day the air pump started working again and leaves of the pepper plants were little bit odd but I didn't pay an attention to it. Evening of the same day my plants looked totally dried and damaged.
Â
When I checked the nutrient solution I got frightened. The roots were slimy and moldy (see pictures). Whole my box got moldy and disgusting as hell. I started washing it all with hydrogen peroxide and it seems better now, no plant died yet but some are very close to it. Now I will see what will happen.
Â
Altho I'm not sure why this happened I guess my advice for others is to ensure the proper aeration.
