Your plants look to be locking out chopstick :(
via from a salt buildup or ph. This lockout blocks
your plant from recieving what it needs to stay
healthy


i know i might of asked this already but what (medium) are you using?
and what ph are you seting your water at?
do you ph before or after you mix your nutes?
and what type of ph meter do you use?

Now the hydrotron is no longer being made, you would have to use
hydro corn a similiar product.

Wait, what? Hydroton is no longer being made? So my supply is increasing in value???? ;D I have at least 100 gallons of ton. Much of it is mixed with sunleaves grow rocks. Since I don't veg long I rarely have the kind of root balls that are hard to shake clean.

Anybody have any input on these mediums. Im just getting in to Hydro after years in soil, getting my gear together. Picked up my Titan flo n gro yesterday. was trying to find an ideal medium to use. Hydroton seems like a pain in the ass and I hear it could clog up my system. Was thinking about STG but heard of people getting slime. What do you guys think of these. And HR what medium do you use. Thanks.

Seeing how hysroton is out of business, How many bags of mini cubes would it take to fill 12 buckets on an ebb and flo system? Seems like I would benefit them as well since the cleaning process would be a lot shorter.

Ok this batch was with an and looks burned.....!
This batch is nute burn! Without being there its kinda
hard to 100% put my thumb on it. Is that white stuff
on that table salt build up or mold?

And now your on a new line of nutes this supernatural,
and your geting a decent amount of yellowing. At 700
ppm,


man you should keep that table clean and covered, to much dead
leaf matter on the table. And those blocks are covered in algae :(
cut some sqaure poly sections to cover the tops to.


your ph is monitored by a blue lab gaurdain and in 5.6 to 6.0
when was the last time you calibrated it? Is the lights blinking
on the 4.0/7.0?

i dont have the guardian, just the bluelab ph meter. I just clean out that table and started new. I have some on a girls on 4x4x4 rw cube. how use i setup my table? should i transfer it to a pot and fill it with hydroton or put 6x6x6 rw on table then cover table with poly then cut hole and set the 4x4x4 rw on top of 6x6x6 rw. I been having really bad luck using rw on flood table. please advise! thanks!

HR,

I believe I finally had a float switch go out. Lights are out but I'll check it in the morning. Where would I get one of those to replace it if it is bad? Assuming it is the float switch hopefully I can just replace it. I would buy a new system, sentinel/Flo n gro before I spent $300 on a new C.A.P controller.

Thanks

is it not filling or draining? Mine occasionally did not drain and I would just unplug for a few min's and plug it back in and it would work, don't know if this will work with yours but did on mine. GL hope you sort it.
