Came home yesterday to my white widow all wilted and droopy. She's a hydro plant in rock wool and hydroton. I think it's ph, but want to be sure. I cleaned her roots with fresh water light batch of npk's, left her overnight in less light than she usually has. Checked in on her this afternoon. The ph of her water was 8.5 and tds was 1040 -- she had no improvement. I changed her water again (ph 6.2, tds 80), no food this time and will check on her in a bit. I've put 1/8 tsp of 3% peroxide in her water to help take care of any fungus and give the water an o2 boost. It's a gh single bucket with a ring and air pump. So I'm not too worried about aeration. Am I doing the right things here? Should I be putting anything else in her water? Should I not give her water, let her dry out a bit? Puzzled...
