Thanks so much guys.

Really jelous of you guys, here its very limited of what kinda grow setup i can run, with dwc I'am pushing the limit, the bubble sound travels far, still need to have guest and family over:). I've built a room inside a room and noone can know about it:)

I'll change the res and give it a foliar feed with epsom salt aswell. I'll keep you posted!

If you want the same results and live in a place you can get pro-mix or another peat based medium look into drain to waste. A lot less hassle and no pump noises etc.

The thing with coco is that when it dries out it sucks all the nutrients away and causes problems (idiot version of what happens) so people are feeding it several times a day and always keeping it wet. They do that because they get great results with it. But you get the same results with peat moss but you can get away with feeding it once every 2 to 3 days. So if you want to make an automated system with coco awesome, but if you just want to feed like you would soil then I suggest you go with peat moss. Lot less headache. I personally think coco is awesome for cloning though.

I follow this Dr. Coco on youtube and he's also a member if a podcast i listen to, he waters his coco plants 5 times a day, automated system is not for me, atleast not yet. I need weed, so i went with dwc becouse a friend of mine managed it so i thought i would too, only option we got here is maroccan hash, mixed with god knows what... I sure will look into peat moss.

2 foliars with epsom usually fixes it for me. 24 hrs apart.

i'd start adding 1 gram per gallon of epsom to your nutes.

you might not need cal/mg, just mg. but that calimagic is always good to have on hand

I am not a pro but currently having a problem with my leaves turning yellow as well, with the difference that mine started from the bottom leaves. Now from what I've read nutrition problems tend to start this way, from bottom to top. The ones that looked like yours were said to be light problems, if I'm not mistaken. Are you sure you got those lights at the correct height? They seem more like burning to me...

figure out some way to cover up that entire netpot. i use a piece of panda film (white side up). it will help block any light getting thru those netpots.

How do the roots look? It's always going to have issues if the roots aren't good... Doesn't matter what you do. You can keep a plant alive by foliar feeding but it won't grow right if the roots are having issues..

I agree with the others about a coco or promix dtw setup, you'll have much better results and less headache. Dwc is tricky. Also, with coco, you can get away with watering a little bit less with a bigger pot, but you will always water a peat based medium less. I do like coco though, it's so easy to fix any mistakes you make.

nothing to worry about. get her healthy, let her veg for a bit and then by the time you hit flower, she'll never know the difference

I’d dump that water if I were you, rinse out the clay balls/net pot and bucket, use bottled or RO water until young plants are established.
Use base nutes only, at around 350ppm. And set PH to 5.8.
Ensure roots are getting plenty of oxygenated water...

At this stage of growth, part strength base nutes is all that’s needed.
I’d say your nutes are no good or your ph is off.

my last 3 plants that i vegged in a tent that was way too cold looked like shit for early veg. i finally got them sorted out by the time they were about 18" tall and they were nice and healthy when i flipped to 12/12.

so the moral of the story is never put a plant into flower that isn't healthy.
