Hope everyone is doing well. I'm hoping someone can help me out as I am a noob to growing.
So here's the problem. I am using rockwool as my grow medium and personally believe that I did not properly flush it before growing. I say this because, 1 I was not able to test the ph unfortunately, 2 because the plants that I had going g before this set grew a hell of a lot faster (sadly they died because I went out of town for 2 days and was unable to water them) Now I do have ph test strips so I can set the ph right. I flushed out the rockwool with water at 5.5, and now I'm watering my plants with a water at 6.5. Sadly the burns on the leaves are not getting any better. In fact from the start, 2 out of the 4 plants' first two leaves seemed to become brown and die very earlier on, though the plant still did grow. So take a look at the pictures and let me know what your thinking.
I do not believe it is because of heat and light that is causing the burning, because the last set of plants had no problems. Again I'm just a noob though. Can anyone help me out? Please ask questions if you have any. I really would like to learn.
