I have 2 LeeRoys in a Current culture RDWC system and cannot figure out what my issue is.
I have checked countless websites and pages to think it is Calcium Def. But am using CalMag so
I am perplexed.

PH 5.8
Rez Temp 67
ambient air temp 71
PPM 450
Use Botanicare Grow
CalMag at levels detailed on bottle
UcRoots at levels detailed on bottle

started with RO water at 15ppm

Plants are under 600w Metal halide. 30" from plants.

Any help is appreciated.

they look just fine to me. I never worry about those seedling leafys as they always discolorate. all of your new growth looks good and healthy best thing to do is sing them a song ;)

The roots are a brilliant white just as you would expect from healthy roots. Mind you the whole time the leaves look like this the roots have been exploding in size gaining 4-5 inches in 2 days.

If anything it might be PPM's are a lil high, but I think you're alright.

Everything I have read at least. And we know the internet is always right. haha. says that in a RDWC system you want too run 1/2 ppm or risk burning them. I will agree with you when I run single buckets that is what ppm run as well. First time In RDWC so I'm gun shy. I'm just going too see if anyone agrees with you in this situation. Thank you for your insight, non is taken lightly.

Oh I know that for a fact. Hence the reason I had to finally ask for another opinion. I will start ramping the ppm up over the next few hours. Hopefully a good update in a a few days. Thank you once again for the insight.
