Sunblaster bad smell

Hi there everybody I'm sunblaster and this is my first post on this forum.
My problem is that I have a stagnant water smell coming from my grow tent
All my plants look great but I'm wondering as the compost mix I used considerably
Dropped in depth level after several waterings
I wondered if my plants could be root bound and maybe a little root rot may be going
On. Been doing this several yrs mow but I have never had this b4 5 wks int 8wks cycle
And now I have a smell like a blocked drain I'm a soil grower and make feeds daily so it's not
Stagnant water in res. Any ideas much appreciated.
Cheers sunblaster.

ooh bad SIGN!!!!!! you soil has gone aerobic(no oxygen) you need to aerate you soil better and transplant what you have into better soil(knocking off what is on them to mix back into your soil) hurry before your roots rot and your plants die!!!!!
 
So u would recommend getting them repotted ASAP
Ok thanks for ur input I was thinking the same
Just diddnt want to upset them if I come across
Root rot is it advisable to trim dead roots or just
Get transplanted ASAP.
Thanx again.

knock off the old dirt the dead and rotted roots should break away no dont duck with the roots transplanting will be a enough of a shock if they are messed up down below and you just dont know it yet.
 
Cheers guys for your input I have cut the bases
From my pots and sat them in fresh buckets with new
Medium aprox 6" depth some of the roots were slightly
Damaged but not badly so hopefully i have caught it in time
with u guys help hopefully I can salvage my harvest. Will let u know
How I get on in nxt few days 1 thing I have learned is to stick with
what you know as I bought the shops own mix on advice from grow shop
I Normally never use anything but schotts.

grow shop gave you good soil it just happens really your supposed to mix stuff into the grow shop soil since they tend to load up the soil with a lot of extra shit, often quite literally,because ot cheap. you can make soil better for growing weed by adding lots of inert medium Mj plants really dont thrive on an abundance of nutrients they do better when they have to work for it and recieve it consistently at low levels.

Yes, repot, get some soil and increase air flow inside the tent if you can. Happy Frog is a good one should be able to get at lowes, home depot or nursery. Air flow is important.
