And i dont think he was being a dick to you, but like he said i dont think you get DWC yet first off you should never get root rot in a dwc run ever and why do you not have any water left in your bucket at the end of the week or water level should never change ever it stays at the same level at ALL TIMES you need to add water everyday so that it stays at the smae level every time you dont just fill your bucket once a week and just let the damn plant eat it its not a water bowl you keep the water at the same spot all the time and dwc plants dont get root rot maybe the way you are doing things becase reading this i no for a fact that you are not doing this right. why do people just start growing shit when they dont even understand what the hell they are doing. dont worry you wont have to worry about good weed cuz your shit wont be good doing the way you are doing things. you should have been reading for months before ever stating a grow.

Wow you guys are too much.... Well if it helps, You will want to make sure your water temps are kept under control. If they get to high your roots can experience some problems. Now that being said most people can veg without any problems but run into problems in the flower room as it tends to end up a bit hotter than the veg area. I have been growing for 13 years and I do nothing to address the water temps. My flower tent it at 80deg with lights on so I would assume my water temps are in the same ball park. I say assume because I am lazy and have not bothered to check the temp. I have not had any problems and have been very happy with the results so maybe that's why I have never bothered with all that. Growers in general but mj growers even more so have a way of over-complicating things. Like I said can be lazy and don't add water to the buckets every day to keep it at a certian blah blah blah... Christ that's so much work. Hell thats why I went to DWC. I had to muck going on to be watering plants every day and a few times I almost lost plants because I would forget or not have time to water today. For me DWC is as hands off as it gets. I do add water/nutes umm say every week. Just add I dont bother with changing everything each week. I used to be that guy with all the gadgets and obsecing over every little thing. and Now I just let it do its thing.All that other stuff is a waste of time and money imho. If it aint broke dont fix it. Now if I could just please never have spider mites again I will be happy.

I think the spider mites were on my Plumerias when I brought some cutting in my tent to experiment. Plus DWC is not the only way I am currently growing. Not sure that matters though as they are not in the medium but rather the on the plants. Nice avitar btw. Eddie is the best band mascot ever!!

Is your water properly aerated? Next thing is if the water level is too high, it's possible to drown the plant.

the plant on the lefts even worse but a completley different sent of problems i think its just coming out of nute burn or was just starving to death new growth looks green tho but really not growing as fast as the other one and its 5 days older im thinking it was just to small to begin with then as one of the bottom leaves was cannibilzing i cut it off and then it sacrificed other leaves , so i just left the dead ones dangling on this plant and ended up getting new growth at the beginning of it as u can see
