Germination took me around 5 days and i straight away put it in a rockwool (ph-ed 5.7). Set up a DWC with airstones and put the rockwool along with the baby. It went well 😊
Put in Grow XL for the roots to grow. However, i noticed that after i changed to my LED for 2 days, it looks quite droopy. Now i have changed back to my CFL
When i used 72W CFL, it grew very well but it started to be a bit droopy after i changed to my 1200W LED. Light stress? Photoinhibition? Need some inputs on this. Nonetheless, i have changed the lights back to the CFL. How can i recover from this?
Have u checked the led manufacturer light to plant distance? It should be within the distance specified.
The change in spectrum will make the plant need to adapt but if your ever gonna do it, do it now while its young, just don't be changing back and forth for too long orelse she will always be recovering from each change.
Everything was fine until the bottom leaves started to yellow and fell off. I checked the res and it didn't drink as much as it used to. Then i flushed the res and added plain ph-ed water and left it for 24 hours. Then i flushed again, added new water with 1/2 strength nutes but ph rised up from 5.7 to 6.3 after 24 hours. Corrected the ph by adding ph down directly into the res and added great white directly as well. After those two application, the leaves started to droop and i immediately changed the res with new water with 1/2 strength nutes. Now my plant looks like this. How can i fix this?
I noticed it didn't drink as much as it used to so i flushed, changed the res to a plain one for 24 hours. Then I changed the res to a 1/2 strength solution and the water level is a lil bit above the net pot. After 24 hrs, ph5.7 to ph6.3. Added great white then this happend. Help
take some of that water out, you want that space between your roots for oxygen your plants roots are not getting the air they need. also your ph is way too high for what your doing your ph dropped over night, change out your nutrients every other day. you want to try to keep them at the sweet spot between 5.8-6.0
but first things first run plan 6.0 ph ed water for 24 hours, add your nutrients use a very small amount of the great white every 3rd feed. hope this helps
Eseoteric_grower is on track, the PH rising is likely due to an infection.
One suspect is Cyanobacteria (blue algae), are the roots slimy to the touch?
Also called root slime...
Basically suffocates hydro plants they look like this. Eventually the res turns to a slimy mess...
We need more info... have you been using H2o2?
Did res temps rise, air pump die?
Are your air stones suitable for the volume of water in your buckets?
- Cyanobacteria is actually a aerobic bacteria so airstone actually feed the bacteria.
Great white is a mycorrhizae product that’s overly expensive for what you get...
Once a mycorrhizae colony has built up on the roots you don’t need to add it again...
Hydroguard is better option for a healthy res tank. And cost effective...
You can chat in the comments just link @PharmaZ
I have seen this happen before when the air pump fails or stones are blocked or the water temp is too high. I wouldn’t have thought the water above the bottom of the net pot would do that on its own.
