Aeroponic cloner/slime

I am just learning, and had a lot of problems at first. Now getting nice root growth on most plants. The ones that died off were all slimy, and some that are doing OK now, have some slime on them. Many of the net cups have this slime on them. Have tried changing water, a few times, but it does not go away.

Any suggestions? Could the roots and net cups be sprayed with hydrogen peroxide, and then rinsed off? The PH constantly goes up, also. I adjust it to 5.5, the next day, it is back to around 7.5. Using DWV for lowering PH.

Thanks!!

to deal with bacteria the best way is prevention, use diluted bleach to dissenfect everything prior to begining. then add reverse osmosis water phed to 5.5. try to keep your water temps at 68f and if a one of your cuttings starts looking like its about to start rotting discard it.

oh yeah pond enzymes are the shit too, it breaks down any dead organic matter, so it cannot become food for microbes, its uses equivelent chemicals to cannazym or powerzym and possibly hygrozym, just at a tiny fraction of the cost.

thousands of gallons.
