yep ph is too high for starters. 5.5 to 6.3 is the range for hydro imo

edit:- to be clear you should drain your res.
then flush with ph'd water for an hr or so.
then drain res again and run some nutrient solution at around 300-400 ppm.

after a few hrs or tomorrow morning check your ph and make sure it is still ok.
also check your ppm if its rising you are feeding to strong. if its falling your plants are taking in nutrients and all is good. just watch your ph and they will come good.

woooow...tats messed up...all this time i ws trying to keep 6-6.5.....
i'll fix that...but the issue with ppm ia that i dont own a TSD Meter, so i tought i can kinda figure it out....
alsoo dont have actual hydroponic Fertz,as it not available in d country im living in...

i know its really ambitious to do such thing, but here i am....
gonna try flush them tonyt as "2easy" suggested....what should be the PH for flushing????
the ferts that use are straight Ndrops and KP drops, and for the micro ferts im adding little bit of a tomato fertz i got....i cant add too much of that as it raises my Ph like crazy....
for a 20L i added 40ml on Ndrop and 30ml of PK drop...is that too much????
im a totall noob in this shit...
much tnx for responding...

happy smoking...

it doesnt look to me like your overfeeding but i really am not familiar with your ferts so im not sure. if you everfeed the leaf tips will go crunchy and look burnt, your leaves will start to feel papery not soft like they should be.

i would probably keep feeding what you are now and just focus on the ph. once you get that sorted out then we can work on everything else.

there not too far gone yet i dont think. the good thing about hydro is although problems can happen quickly they can often be fixed quickly too.

yeah give em a feed and keep an eye on the ph. then just watch the new growth and see what it does.

this is total bullshit.the yellow growth is from lack of nitrogen due to ph being so high. yellowing is never a sign of over nuted, burned tips and clawing are signs.and no it isnot too late, very easily fixed. for young seedlings and veg keep ph at 5.6-5.8. if you need help and want useful info, pm me, all i do is hydro.

sulfer deficiency... or maybe iron deficiency, get out your blender and add water+ some egg shells
Moderator? What are you trying to do to this guy? We are here to help with marijuana problems, not make omelettes.

Im going to have to agree this is a ph problem, get it down 5.5-5.8

as everyone said bring that ph down. what are you temperatures lights on and off? What kind of lights are you using? It looks like overheating and the burnt top looks like it was inches from your light
