Trying to spray roots now looks shitty plus roots went from growing inches overnight to withering away. I literally made sure a bunch of times everything was right. 5.8 to 6.2 ph, 68 f water temp, 3 air stones, roots were touching water not sitting in water, 62RH, 75f temp 500ppm

Don't give up man.. I ran DWC outta totes my first run or two and it was a piece of cake. Thought I had it down, and everytime since I have run into issues.. Its a tough medium sometimes. I mainly do coco now and soilless mediums, but theres nothing like that water culture growth when you dial everything in. So first off, I would tone down the nutes. I also run GH flora trio. I would bring those main three down to like 2.5-3 ML each and see how that does. If I was in your shoes now I'd probably do something like 3mL micro, 3 mL grow, 2 mL bloom. I'll add a link for their feed charts to give you an idea of ratios you want to run but the whole chart is made for photoperiods and youre running autos so you will want to reduce feed to account for that. I would remove the Recharge product from your regimen, theres good similar products you can find that are more suitable for hydroponics - "photosynthesis plus" comes to mind. check them out. If you wanna just test things without a whole res change, just empty some out and fill back with water and pH back to where you want it. On the subject of pH - try to be right at 5.8 , it can dip as low as 5.5 or 5.6 , but you dont wanna be above 6 ideally. hope this helps man, heres GH feed chart.. again, its for photos, not autos so you have to keep that in mind. https://edge.generalhydroponics.com/www/uploads/20210121184300/FloraSeries-Basic-Feed-Charts.pdf

Hi buddy! I think about a cut to the feed CalMag is really needed only for osmosys waters, or just in case of water reservoir older than 1 week and especially in bloom phase. Now the lil'girl need to grow up her root zone Try to add some kind of roots enhancer, you can do it in foliar spray (foliar feed EC 0.5 max!!!) Without healthy roots she can take feed from leaves easly I'm do it with AN voodoo juice just for give you an idea Never give up buddy💪 Wish you all the best and good luck with your grow🍀

I'm not the most skilled in hydro but 500ppm seems a bit strong for a young plant. Best to wait for a few hydro PPL to chime in. Good Luck!

@RamboGringo could be pythium ( think thats how its spelt?) aka root rot you can try using a commercial brand like pythoff or some hydrogen peroxide will also work have a look at this video for some more tips www.youtube.com/watch
