Ok so so i have 3 og kush plants one blueberry a white widow and 2 other strains i dont know much about but looks like my plants have stopped growing and starting to wilt any help would be great. The big plants are the og kush plants and the blueberry i just transplanted two days ago and they were super healthy. The small ones are the widow and the roscoe they been transplanted about 2 weeks ago here are some pics. My Res is 65.1 degrees the tent temperature is at 77 degrees im using blue moon nutes and some hydrozyme. Also using HO T5s for veg.

They appear to be over watered. It looks like you are making good air bubbles so I am not 100% sure. Hopefully one of the big DWC hitters will offer up some solid advice.

so is it that my net pots are to close to the water because my rockwool on the 4 big plants looks kinda soggy and like it disintegrating on the bottom

You should have the water level 1-2" below the bottom of the net pots once you have roots sprouting out. It's hard to tell how deep your res is but you may have to find a deeper one.

Also, I think that most people use hydroton in their net pots because it helps keep the correct amount of moisture/air.

ok thanks i think its prob only a half inch away from the water and when i turn the bubbles on its like covering it up ill try that next hopefully that will do something for me

Im also using regular tap water 5 gallons and my ppm starts at 230 before any nutes i dont know if this helps the diagnosis or not.

It might take a couple days for them to get back to normal after you lower the water level.

There is a whole forum about Plant Problems if you want to throw some pics up there I am sure you will get other ideas.

Not sure how far you are along there veg / flower but looks to be flower and your PPM's seem high to me. I am usually rocking max of 900 during Flower sometimes it drifts up slightly to 950 but I never go over 650 during veg. I too use tap water 250 PPM I add in a chlorine / chlorinate solution that removes unwanted stuff from your tap.. Amsquel I think is what it is called and you can find it at any pet store in the fish aisle.

It also looks like you are using rockwool for the ENTIRE net cup which is a PITA sometimes in DWC granted I have used it but I only use 1" rockwool cubes to start my seedling in then they grow into the hydrotron rocks that surround the cube in the net cup around 3" - 4" net cups

I did not notice any nute burn so maybe your okay on that side but I would be cautious and watch it closely not sure how long you have been running that PPM level

looks like several things.

Plans look hungry. I would foliar feed right away. When a DWC plant looks over watered AND you have plenty of bubbles, it often indicates moisture/heat stress. The roots are too small to provide the canopy with proper water. Check that your temps and humidity are in the correct range. 77 is good for temps.

Second, it looks like your roots are diseased. I would hit them with a sterilizing agent, like h202, and then put them in a fresh res inoculated with beneficial microbes. Drop the enzyme product. Enzymes are a no-no in DWC, they often cause root slime/root stunt. The bennies will ward off disease and stimulate root growth, and provide their own enzymes. Be sure to maintain proper res conditions such as water temp, light proof, ect.

Ive been running that ppm for a day or so and im still in my veg cycle. Only the big plants are only in rockwool i just picked those up on thursday. The three little plants are in hydroton also. Maybe my ppm is 2 high for now but i had a monster the last time i tryed a grow running at 1300ppm

My temp is 77.5 water temp is 65.7 and my humidity is 35% ok ill try it without the hydrozyme and my res is light proof
