Rotten Egg Smelling Runoff?

StonedSkunk · #1 (**permalink**) 10-01-2007, 10:38 PM

hey all. I just started my second grow, and i have been having some PH problems I think. Recently i picked up some Earth Juice Natural Up and Down, and after I have flushed my babies, the runoff water smells like rotten eggs. Is this a bad sign?

if you used ph down then there is sulfur in it. Usually sulfur turns into sulfuric acid once it's in the soil, and you probably have some iron in there. Which produces a rotten egg smell.

I think? My friends usually make rotten egg bombs with sulfuric acid and iron shavings.

It's probably not bad, but get a second opinion.

as was posted could be sulphur, check the chemicals of your ph correctors

if no sulphur content, it could be root rot, check the roots
