    New set up NEED help

    So just to give you guys an update 2 of the plants are showing nice new growth, while the other two are still lacking. I seem to have found the sweet spot for ppm for 3 of them. The only problem I'm having is with the last one, the right ppm is difficult to find. What I'm clueless on is why one...

    New set up NEED help

    Yup I'm at one drop per gallon. My PPM for reg water is around 130-140. I got 2 3 watt 2 outlet activeaqua air pump, so one line per 5 gallon bucket.(2 pumps in total) Outputs at 7.8l/Min, pressures >3.768 psi. As for measuring the PH, I understand getting a meter works best for DWC, but I'm...

    New set up NEED help

    So this would be my second attempt in about a month to try and get my set up going. I was able to sterilize my whole system, but I've hit the same problem I did before with problems with the stems turning purple and obvious deficiencies. The temp ranges from 71 degrees to 80 throughout the day...

    DWC purple stem and ph problem

    My EC for my plants was around .9 to 1 However, two of them are dead now and I'm considering to kill the last two and start fresh. Thinking back I'm pretty sure the temp in general for the room was to high and that's what helped progress the ph problem which caused the nutrient lock out and...

    DWC purple stem and ph problem

    I measure my ph with a regular general hydroponics liquid ph tester(roughly 20$). I had a hannah ph tester, but IMO the thing sucked and is as good as trash. My nutes usage followed directly what the directions said on it. Like I stated above I use superthrive, hygrozyme, root excelorator, and...

The PH is still out of whack and i dont have the slightest clue why this all...

    DWC purple stem and ph problem

    Each are in their own 4 gallon res. I cleaned my system and changed out the res earlier today. That and switched out the old air stones for new bigger ones. The PPM for each was about 360 give or take 20, but I just put in 5.7 ph water with hygrozyme, root accelerator, and super thrive for now...

    DWC purple stem and ph problem

    I apologize if the answer is somewhere in this forum, but I have yet to find one that can answer my concerns. So this is my second DWC grow and I have 4 clones ranging from 6 - 8 inches under a 400 watt mh light with 3 fans to help control high temps in my tent. On average it is about 84 degrees...
