This is my first hydro grow. I'm using Mars Hydro New SP 3000 300w led grow light.
Still in the seeding stage and taken to the light nicely. The seeds are a mix i know one half was afghan but the other half not sure they just called it Chung Lee. Brought seeds form a site that's now shutdown. They will be transplanted to a perlite 75% mix and vermiculite 25% mix when they get more roots ill do the transplant. Will have to watch out and pick the males unfortunately but i've just grown these seeds outside during the autumn/summer season and pulled a nice amount 1.3kg and the quality is nice, so i thought hey lets try hydro during the winter season.
Grow room temp 26c - 28c degrees, Humidity at 46%, ppm 800, ph 5.8.

Nah i haven't i just make a bucket of water, nutrients with 5.8ph and water them from the bucket. i thought that perlite and vermiculite was ph neutral?
I'll check run off next time i water em.

Might be I'm a new grower so most my knowledge is limited but it either looks like ur right on the ph problem or it's bctv beet curly top virus but don't look like it. I think it's ur ph fluctuating
Have u been feeding at a 5.8?

should i be checking the ph every-time i go to water them from bucket? I've only been checking ph once when i make the bucket of nutrients but not checking it every time i go to water.
yes the feed is made at 5.8ph when i first make the bucket of water.

Yes u need to check the feed everytime u water and I wouldn't use the same feed past 5-7 days sometimes the nutes will tell u, ur ph will change while it sits I'm pretty sure
And from my understanding u need to check ph evertime u water in coco coir so I think u do and what ur growing in is soilless like coco so check it once
But for now start checking ur ph before u feed its most likely ur problem

Need it between 65 and 70% with what ur humidity is at now is in late flower didn't catch that before
But I would start checking ph evertime u feed and I would check runoff ph just once and see
And I would make new nutes every week js to make sure if u don't already

Just put a fan on in the grow tent now the humidity is rising slowly.
Yep will test ph before watering every time now and will test run off next watering.
hopefully they bounce back with color in within a week.

few days with correct PH plus letting them dry out abit due to over watering.
Now they starting to go green again.
should really tip them now but don't want to do it until they get back to health so maybe a week and i'll start tipping.
