Hi Growers, Last week my plant was hanging and show me a deficiency, i think it was a Calcium/Magnesium problem?! I also put the light a little bit higher because i thought she had a too much light problem too. Now the tips (leaf points) still pointing up, any grow tips ?

Hi there Gelatoman, i have to disagree with my colleagues here : it's absolutely not temperature or light stress. This is a pH and root zone problem ! you can see this because of the discoloration "splotches" and the wrinkled leafs as well as the tips and curling serrated edges of the leafs. In hydro you need NPK + micro + additives. Now you have NPK+ micro. so you need additives to fix the root zone and help with breaking down the nutrients. TRy to use something like humic or fluvic acid or something biological like "great white" for hydro. What's happening is that there are bad microbes and mold affecting the root zone. After you fix this with additives you should also consider "root pruning" technique, that when you lift the plant outside the pot and actually cut the problem roots (never more than 15% of the total root mass!) with a scissor ... this sounds crazy, but this is the "right way" for hydro. I hope this helps ! 🚀

I agree it looks like heat/light. Its strange to have that lower leaf do that with heat/light it will usually be higher up. When is the last time you did a full water change? Its best to do it weekly. In a DWC the water can start to become unbalanced and needs a fresh new batch to sit in. Your PH seems high to me 5.8 would be ideal, Hydro is 5.5-6.5 range. I would also lower your dose to 1ml/L as it could be from over feeding. Happy Growing.

That looks light serious heat and light stress. Leaves clawing up are a sure sign of this. Your light is 18cm away according to your diary. I would make that 18inches or further until she has recovered.
