    Ya that could lead to calcium being unavailable which is what it looks like.

    I noticed last night, my water for flush, that I set quite low because the pH has been coming back to the reservoir at 6.1 no matter what I do. So I ended up dropping the pH of the water down to 5.5 came back at 6.4. So I did another flush and set the pH this time at 5.0 to try to bring down...

    Are my hydro plants dying?

    Ya the bottle is a good baseline to start if new to the nutrient line but Not something you want to follow to a T, especially for seedlings. At its size now it more than likely only has a tap tap root looking to dig deep and then producing Thinner horizontal root structures. This is what...

    Nice man looks like you may be over feeding them. Are you feeding them, if so How long have you been feeding them.

    Getting stem root DWC

    I had it on a huge plant my last run, got a black ring around the crown (base) of the stem it eventually got mushy and ate into it pretty deep and then it eventually just went away (lucky I guess). But the stock was very large, got a huge knuckle above the mush ring and finished out flower...

    Are my hydro plants dying?

    Ok first off stop giving it nutrients you are burning it with way to much fertilizer, it will need little to no food until it is farther along. Second, no you shouldnt use the neoprene collar with rockwool because will stay way to saturated. Hydroton will block water from direct contact with the...

    Are my hydro plants dying?

    Yup no problem, not sure if it’s going to make it need to make sure there is no rot, if no rot then maybe it will live. Looks like those next set of leaves down there are torched. Did you add any food/nutrients?

    Are my hydro plants dying?

    Rockwool should never be saturated, it’s hard for beginners to get the moister level just right in it. You should have hand watered it very little amounts (damp not soaked) under a light until root structure was larger and healthier, then put it in the aero pot with hydroton. I never ran aero...

    Are my hydro plants dying?

    That rockwool cube is soaked, more than likely crown/stem rot inside the cube. I would cut it open and have a peek, it probably won’t last long in its current state

    Yup I read all sorts of good stuff in my frustration, hell the gf was laughing because I would come in with a new diagnosis hourly lol, but ya I had very high humidity at lights out and very low in the lights on. I have put a couple heaters on a thermostat to not only bring the heat up but to...

    It’s training day :-P:razz: These plants went from some deformed ass three bladed, duck foot leafs to this!!!:hump::hump: I think they are done stressing and I am relieved. Think it was light stress mixed with the nutrient issue, they have kinda been stalling then growing and stalling etc...

    How deep do your LED's penetrate?

    Loving my 8kw’s of DE. They are stupid bright and cover some area, each of mine are covering little over a 6x6 and I do most of the vegging at 600 and plants will stress hard if I throw them 1000 setting.

    Thank you my friend, that means allot:-D:-D Been frustrating chasing this droop around like a chicken with my head cut off lol. Not sure what’s up, never had issues like this before. If it is nutrients I can say I have never experienced drooping as a symptom before. Just hope it isn’t root rot...

    what does this look like on my leaves

    I have been having the same issue with some of my plants, so I been reading allot about it and only thing I can think of is over fertilization or possibly root deasease (pythium). Plants expell water from the roots if the medium is richer in fertilizer than what is in itself (trying to balance...

    I was running silica for a while and it seemed to help when adjusting ph after the mix was complete. I ran out and the problem escalated quickly but the problem was still there for sure. Had this issue Last run too and didn’t really even think of nute problem. I figured out a few different...
