So I've got this DWC system going and my plant is a month old and I've been using foxfarm growbig at 1/8 strength since week 3 with ph of my solution after it is mixed with water being between 6.0 - 6.5 , room temp 80 degrees when lights are on and I was just wondering about why there is some browning on the edge of the leaves? And also some dark green spinach looking rockwool?....maybe its just because it is wet..

Ps: The plants might not have been ready for the nutes when I frist added them at three weeks so could nute burn be the cause of the browning? Also when I first noticed the browning, I switched it to clean water and adjusted the ph but left out the nutes until week 4 which was yesterday when I added the nutes at 1/8 strength and changed the water.

Let me know if you have any possible solutions to why the brownig is there.

Oh yeah here they are:

It is about 4 inches tall. I sprouted one next to it just for shits and giggles and it is tiny but I'm not too concerned about it.

C'mon somebody reply! The plants look wilted now and worse then in the pictures and the leaves were pretty yellow and had some brown and a couple of them crumbled right off. It was like this 5 days after adding 1/8 of nutes for 8 cups of water which if you scale it down, is a little bit below the reccomended dosage of 1 teaspoon per gallon which should be good for this 4 inch tall plant right? If you want pics tell me and I'll put them up. I'm going to switch back to clean water, no nutes till the plant perks up. Maybe it was still to early to add them.

Are you dripping? Is there drainage? And is the pot filled all the way with those rocks?
No the rocks are just in a netpot covering the rockwool cubes and the roots go down into the resovoir. There is no drainage but there is an air pump pumping oxygen into the water and I change the water every 2 weeks.

You know what, I've waited and waited for a response from someone so I could get a little advice here but obviously no one on this site knows fucking shit or your too god damn busy with every other thread on here to answer mine. So here's my advice to you before I log out of this site and never comeback again: fuck you lazy assholes and if you'r going to subscribe to a site like this than maybe you should actually provide some help for the people who need it. Thanks to all the people who did answer my thread and goodbye.
