Lesson learned. No coco in hydro system like this.

I'll try adding a little pH down. Maybe water temp lock out? Need to freeze some water bottles.

Do you know what the water temp is?
Too high of a temp causes its own issues, such as bacteria etc....

Are you saying you out Nute tea in a hydro system? Ive heard that'll mess things up too.

Thats what I was thinking, but I dont know hydro and didnt want to give wrong info.
I do know that 80* water is too high unless changed almost daily in most cases it can cause issues, one of which is slower growth.

Voidling, have you added the ice water yet? I bet that will give you some relief from the issues you are having.

My areocloner in the garage with cooler temps clones wayyyy faster that with warmer house temps.
i bought water chiller, but running it seems too expensive.

void i got big red and 4 ft cheesus whenever you're ready - you may wanna hold off on the 4ft as it still has to finish revegging (don't be too afraid, even tho it got to 4' tall, it did start at 2' at the start of flower so only 2x stretch :) )... only the big red is really good to go right now. taking bb2 this week but won't be rooted yet... i'd recommend waiting til they are i'm getting 50%+ pretty steady now (actually got 100% - 6/6 on my 4ft cheesus) - i'm gonna do like i did with big red and take as many as i can at once so i'll be sure to get 3 or 4 to take so i'll at least have one for you, me and owl

Alright, thank you. Will definitely wait on bb2.

Got an email that a 165 w led is $100 plus shipping. Curious what coverage it gives. Still not positive my problems aren't from too much light too close. So either swap or pur smaller on in my small box

What size light you running right now and size?
I have seen ppl put a 1000 and a 400 in a 2.5foot square closet and not be too much light, but I have also light bleached my top once with a 600 at 6" away as well...

Yes. Even 200 w HPS was just too much heat. Not just for cab but whole room heat.

Hid lights do produce serious heat, and I vent mine into the attic in summer and into my living space in winter like now.
In the summer I had trouble keeping my tent cool when the house a/c wasnt working well, but usually it is fine.
I have 220 watts worth of T-5 ho lighting in my2x2 closet and it is vented to attic and temps never get more than 5*F above ambient.

Have you had any improvement in your plants in the last few days?

Sadly no. Some of the white leaves have wrinkled and gone crunchy. I'm hoping for my new cuttings to take root. Toss the current plants, clean the system and start fresh with lessons learned

The cutting that had rooted with fogger was put in coco and has now gone limp. I think it has stayed too wet. I just can't seem to win anymore

You'll pull through, I was going through the same a while back.. Couldn't even keep my seedlings alive :(
just keep trialing, you'll find your zone! My girls are finally looking good again, and it took probably twenty seeds to get back in the groove of things. And remember, it's not like you don't have more stock--it won't be the end of the world to lose a few plants more.. :)

got cuts from Sensei last night. They look real nice. The BB 2 coming along over there..
