Trill's First Hydro Grow

Started feeding the seedlings at 25% according to the DWC nutrient calculator found on Growdoctorguides.com. Started noticing that the water smelled funky, kinda moldy, so I added Cannazyme in hope that it would help. The next day the water smelled peculiar. Not moldy, but more like a strong pond smell. The smell slowly lessened day after day.

Been increasing nutrients gradually since I'm concerned about the brown spots that are forming, the plant leaning, and the edges of the leaves looking rippled.

Troubleshooting a few different things this week as I suspect that I was starving my plants. I have continued to increase the nutes according to the GH feeding chart and started adding CaliMagic and ArmorSi. I learned the hard way that ArmorSi HAS TO BE ADDED FIRST then wait and add everything else to the water. I also added an insulating panel with heat reflective tape to see if that helps with the temperature. I also have decreased the resevoir to 12 gallons of water so that the water level is below the net pot.

I made a mistake with the nutrients. I'm not sure where I got the quantities from, but I know I was extremely tired when I measured them. According to the GH feeding chart, they should have gotten less Micro and Gro, and MORE Bloom :( I suspect that the yellow tips on the leaves are from light burn so adjusted the light so they're 26" away from the plant. The good thing is that I am no longer seeing any more brown spots forming by the end of this week.
