I have a 10 gallon dwc, I had some salt buildup and nute burn. I flushed the entire tank, refilled, ph tested and put in 1/4 strength nutes.

PH= 5.8
Water Temp in reservoir= 68

umm, ...... everything.... have you seen the video? Plants yellow and new one is yellow and its not been burned

In my opinion your problems using nutes on 2 week old seedlings here's a pic of month old with zero nutes yet

Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Rollitup mobile app

They look overwatered. I had this problem. My plants started drooping and yellowing within a day of being in the buckets because the water level was too
high. I emptied the buckets for a few days to dry the rockwool then i filled it up again 2 inches away from the bottom of the netpot and the roots came
out a couple of days later.

Did you try watering from the top until the roots reach the water?

haha yea what above said... When u lifted the tank I saw one of the nets submerged in the water.

More reading required, then make a plan from notes gathered ...get organized first b4 waiting money

I just noticed that. Shouldn't have closed it before it finnished playing.

Overwatering is definitely the problem after seeing that. The air pump is no where near the minimum for that tank size.

...dude!!!! ...you dont give nuts to those lil creatures at that age!!! ...just water, phed water. then, like after a week, start 1/6 of the strength.

...get a ppm meter, it will help you alot!

i used those two inch stones for five gallon buckets dwc I wanted to be sure their was enough oxygen in the water and it was moving enough.

It's not a big deal, an easy fix really. Plus I remember my first attempt at dwc buckets...it was a learning experience no doubt. Dial it in though, and reap some really nice plants!

I have drained, ph, TDS, refilled the tank with fresh water (no Nutes), lowered the water so that it is 2" below the net pots. Will post a update in a few days. Thanks for your help. I am new to dwc. I have always used drip lines an 1/4 strength organic nutes. This dwc an synthetic nutes going to take some time to dial in. However once I do plan to trash these plants an get some real seeds.

Get some more stones in there and a more powerful airpump as well.

So just as a update, I was pretty upset with my plants and the feedback I received from members told me I was in over my head. I downloaded "the grow bible" and read it in detail taking notes of things I found notable. I went to hydro store picked up a few things, and when I got back I tore down my setup cleaned everything hooked up the new store and well here we are...

NOW GOT 1 QUESTION!!! What is max temp for reservoir?"?

looks good and glad to hear you are reading up...even things that i dont really agree with can have a valuable tip or two relevant to my grow..

Those who were here before.. I moved plants to soil while I redid my system.

I'm a bit late but glad to see you invested in a quality pump.
