Anti-bacterial soap in hydro solution?

I am fearing that when I started adding pure sugar to my mixture, the solution began to develop bacteria. And now my largest plant in the system is beginning to weep after 6.5 weeks of flowering. This plant has also had dying leaves. It is hindu kush so I was thinking I would need more like 9 weeks of flowering. It appears to be dying but earlier then I thought it would. I am going today to radio shack to get the 30x-100x scope to check trichromes. My other two plants who are on the same schedule appear much better (each have max of 2 old dying leaves). Also the largest plant has some fungis on the rockwool that it is in. could this be root rot? If so should I harvest immediately? Also would anti-bacterial stop the bacteria from the sugar? Will it kill/hurt the plants?

thank you,
Wacky

Next time use Advanced Nutrients Carbo Load or Molasses for the sugars. Try flushing for a bit

I would definitely flush, clean res, and set up again the nutes & res again... That sucks dude :\

Empty and clean the res and spray down ur root balls and don't use sugar again.

ok, I'll do a flush after I finish classes today. I was adding sugar to stimulate photosynthesis. For the molasses, do I just dissolve it in hot/boiling water, and then just let it cool before I put it in the solution? Will I still get bacteria with the molasses? I would think so simply because it is essentially sugar.

if you are intent on using sugars, look into Sweet by Botanicare. seems to help fatten up the buds and also promoto internode tightness. gotta clean out that res. also, look into Hydroguard, although may not be available due to pending FDA reapproval. Am using Plantascillin right now.

Excellent dude, I'll look into those nutes too.
