A little help please!

This is what I have done.:sad: The drooping leaves were crispy. There is no way they would have came back.

Here is the distance from the light. They put out almost no heat at all.

Water level...
IMG_0004.jpg
 
for seedlings sometimes. those look like they have a root system growing.
Most keep water level about 1/2 in below net.
 
Water level has been dropped to 1/2" below net pot, ph is 6.0, used 1/8 strength grow nutes during water change last night, trimmed off crispy leaves. I guess now it is a waiting game.
 
Ph of 6 to 6.2? Isnt that a little high? My hydro is running 5.7-5.9 max. Hydro should be run from 5.6-6.0 for most of our applications. I suspect nute lock out. Your uptake of nutrients are affected when you run higher or lower than these perameters

Do you have a ph or tds meter?

I would flush with 5.6 water with just a touch of b-1 or something like superthrive to help with the stress, then 1/8 or less nutes until you see some bounce back

IMO

Hope it works out

The effect of pH on nutrient uptake depends on the nutrients being used. Some are more forgiving and less sensitive than others. I use Humboldt Master A&B and I don't worry as long as pH is between 5.5 and 6.8. I haven't made an adjustment to pH in 2 years.

Cool.. Thanks for the tip. I will def keep an eye on it and add very weak nutes once I see some recovery.

Im using the dyna-gro series...
 
Your speed is going to be dead slow now. I suggest starting over.. but first learning what happened. Btw hydro's ph sits perfect at 5.8, but I let mine swing (unavoidable with some nutrient lines)

Seedlings can't take that harsh training, it's going to take weeks to recover
 
Def heat/light stress the edges are all curled up and like you said were crispy to touch + ph is a tad high.. good luck I hope everything works out

Sup VO? I appreciate it. I'm pretty sure I know what caused the issue. Shouldn't have added the Pro-Tekt so early and I didn't check my water temp before I dropped her in. I appreciate the advice. I was thinking of either popping some new Blue Mystic beans or waiting for my water clone to take a good root. I read something about water cloning with a flowering fem. So I tried it. Its taken 4 weeks. Just now starting to see some roots. Think i should pop a bean or go with the clone?

That clone is already in mid flower looks like.. it'll be slow too, not to mention you need to not check on the roots all the time, gotta let them sit and do their thing.

What kind of water are you using? If it's tap, do a Water Quality Report search on google with your town/state name

Yeah, tap water. Water quality report stated our water is 30 ppm? does this sound right? What exactly am I looking for on the report?

I found the thread on water cloning. https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/8335-cloning-flowering-plant.html
 
30 ppm is really good, make sure they're not a lot of anything percentage wise, and you want to look out for high levels of chlorine, but a low level is actually nice on occasion (for water purification purposes) and you can just let it evaporate out anyway.

30 ppm is low, so you probably don't have much cal/mag in your tap, you'll probably need to add it if you aren't already

Are you using a ph meter?

Thanks for clearing that up. We have low levels of chlorine and fluoride. I was under the impression that my nutes have cal/mag in them? (using Dyna-Gro: Grow nutes) Should I be adding it? No PH meter, just GH PH Up/Down... Does a PPM meter give you ph? or water temp? Is there an all in one type thing?
 
How are you keeping your ph at 5.8 or near it without a meter? Strips are unreliable but better than nothing

PH/PPM meters exist but are more expensive
