Nutrient lockout?

[WeedMiller]

Ok prepare palm to forehead now because I'm about to amaze you with stupidity. Yes I have a ppm meter but haven't used it. Again I'm thousands of miles away and won't be back for a few weeks. The person that is taking care of them now won't be able to calibrate it either so just hoping that the R/O water and added nutrients kinda works itself out. The PH is checked every two days it climbs to about 6.3 in that time and we drop it to 5.5 - 5.7. Should I check it daily instead? Heres a pic of the roots on the plant affected. It was in the corner of the Res. We changed it to the middle assuming there was some nutrient buildup in that corner alone. All the rest of the plants aren't showing those signs on their leaves. There are only 3 affected leaves on this plant. Looking now at the root system its easy to see theres some sort of nasty build up on the roots. Sorry for the quality. My handlers time is limited and that's all she gave me this morning. Thanks again DCobeen for all your help.

Omg bro. you need air in the roots allot of it and find a good res helper like aqua shield. wow you are lucky. you can fix this issue. right now 1 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide per gallon to clear it and eat the scum off of them. you also need to find a microb that grows in the res to eat bad bacteria. I hope you can clear those roots up. change your res more often and again air stones in the res is huge.

I have 4 airstones in that res, like I said that plant was in the far corner though so the brown part was definitely getting a lack of oxygen. I have had the plant moved into another spot since I'm only using 5 of the 9. I also flushed with straight water yesterday and will add some hydrogen peroxide today before cleaning the tub and changing the water with fresh nutrients at 75% later today.

These are the most recent pictures I have received. I was curious if you could tell me about how much further they should go. Next Tuesday is supposed to be flush week (week I know I have to get a magnifying glass and check trichome for best analysis but is there anything you can tell me by these pictures. Think they will be ready for flush in 5 or so days or they looking pre-mature? I know I've said it lots but thanks DCobeen you saved my crop several times and got me to this stage. Big cheers for you and thanks to all the others too. Great forum!
