Unfortunately, the last attempt failed again and I pressed the reset button......again, but not totally. I finally found the reason why i have algae issues followed by root rot: the fertilizer. I was able to keep the clones alive and I've cleaned and disinfected everything again. Switched to athena fertilizer with cleanse to keep the system clean. Now it works
Grape Balls of fire is way much bigger then the other two. Was hard work keeping them alive before the new fertilizer arrived.

Good progress now. Only the upper part of the roots from the grape balls are not looking good due to the problems before.

The plants are now growing nicely and the system remains clean. The pH and EC values remain stable and change as desired over the course of a week.

If I'm not mistaken, the plants are growing really fast now. The root system looks healthy and has established itself well (without root booster). I'm just wondering if the slightly yellow tips on the leaves of the Grape Ball plant are due to too much or too little fertilizer. It's only noticeable on this plant.
