NO matter what i DO this keeps happening...HELP

[mattdagreat69]

I have a 2 month old plant and its not doing very well due to the fact no matter what i do I cant get the container its in to stop foaming up and bubbling after a day after i put solution in.... I clean it every week throuroughly and wipe it down.. I have a water culture setup where i have a tupperware container the plant and the nutrients just sit there and go to the roots.. I have a really good air pump and a bubbler. I had been running straight ph adjusted water through it and it was fine but hte leaves looked like they were starving for nutrients so i figured id give it aanother shot and first day i put nutrients in the stuff started foaming after a day and the ph eradically jumps from 5 to 7.5 - 8. Im using the Flora Nova nutrients its very highly concentrated... Can anyone please help me on this one.. its killing me and my plant..

i would try to use either another type of nutes or try to use the ones you have at 1/4 strength.

befor you get different nutes try MORE AIRSTONES!!!!!!!!! if you only have one you better go to wal-mart get 3 more airstone like 3$ a piece and 3 pumps like 6$ a piece.if you still have tis problem then i would say use different nutes.are they liquid or powder??? if powder you should heat up water dissolve it and then put it in.well good luck bro

I use one air bubbler without an air stone that is not the prob. You’re feeding her too much and what you have done is added more to her. This is the wrong deal. You need to get a ppm checker! Give her fresh water and ¼ the nutes work your way from there. All plants are different so keep one as moms learn to clone that way you know your plant.

BTW that air bubbler I use is in a 5 gal bucket never had a prob with ox deficiency

I have just one pump and 1 airstone but its like a giant wand it was like $5 bux at wal -mart it seems to getting tons of oxygen. The bubbling seems to happen no matter what happens whether i use 1/2 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon there becomes foaming bubbles that are white colored and thye tend to be around the outside of the container.. and they are liquid nutrients but highly concentrated so its not clear theres tons of shit in it..
