2 plants dwc.. small one started from seed.. 2 wks old.. ppm was at 300, then i thought might be nute burn so lowered to 220.. larger one is clone.. had for 1 wk from a friend.. ppm at 320.. looks like a deficiency on this one. ph is good on both. any suggestions????

Whats your setup details? What nutes? Res Temps, pH?

Looks like a potassium def from here.... I know someone with more experience will chime in soon enough.

Id begin a flush if I were you

Whats the water from?

looks like your starting a Cal/Mag def

Cal/Mag def's are the most common Hydro problem in new growers. Get a Cal/Mag supplement and use as directed.

your ppm is to low, you need to stick around the levels your fertilizer brand recommends if you cant find a recomended feeding schedule then I would raise up to around 700-980 ppm and make sure your nutrient line has all the proper NPK/micro nutrients or your just going to see more deficiency problems the whole cycle. hope this helps....ps...it all starts out with a proper ph and tempature level, add all the right nutes , good lighting and prepare for success.

Cal mag my dude.... They look really really young still but do need cal mag and very light nutes. I think your ppms are on point. And check ur water temps. They love chilly 65-70 degrees most times. How the roots look?

the roots are looking good as one long one sticking down in the bucket.. It was starting to get a little wet slimy so I added some H202 to 29 percent.. I'm using ionic grow.. It doesn't say anything about micronutrients on it. so it sounds like I need to get some huh? I use a dropper pH kit.
But I have a digital one on the way

Please someone help me out ill do anything for some advice at this point soI have figured out what's going on but have no clue how to fix this issue. So basically no matter what I do my ph rises within an hour and stabilizes in or around 6.5! No matter what I do!!!!! I'm using distilled water it has a ph of 7 I then stabilize the ph to 5.6 (where I tech need it to be for now to clear my problem)then I add my nutes and double check the ph and add it to the res and check again once In res. I shit u not within an hour it's stabilized at friggen 6.5 ! I have read online of others having same problem growing in aerogarden bases as a dwc or smaller set ups but they never post the solution and there just using shit aerogarden nutes. I'm using ph perfect sensi line from advanced nutrients and the hobbiest bundle aka big bud, overdrive, ect. So from reading have saw lots of people seeking advice on this issue in dwc systems and all saying it's stabilizing at or very close to 6.5 um deff not random so how do u fix it's not saying!
I have a nutrient lockout going on because my ph is way to high and no matter how much ph down I use it rises and stabilizes at or around 6.5 I know it's not my nutes !!!!!!!! How do I change this and get it to stabilize at a lower ph for longer than a friggen hour or less !!?? My res on the dwc aka aerogarden is about only a gallon and have a air stone in each one running 24/7 and have lights at 24 until bloom and I cut to 12/12 which problems exist in both chambers and conditions! They are in a stealth cabinet with a lower veg chamber and a upper bloom chamber supplying the different spectrum lights needed why is the ph doing this??? Please god help me haha

What's wrong with your tap water that you have to use distilled and spring water?
You haven't answered the most crucial question yet...what are the temps in your sweatshirt covered buckets? Why are they covered anyhow?

Shall I keep going.? Use different nutes. Or at least follow their schedule.

I wouldn't use lsd420's advice lol. You'll cook your plants.

Keep water temps below 68° personally I keep mine between 63 and 65°

Not to be rude. Maybe hydro is not 4 u.

Best advice: read credible books.( not just 1) Then read them again. And again. Don't trust a forum for advice. You must gain your own knowledge. Then you will eventually figure out what works best for you.
