Lime green and droopy

So she has been getting lighter the last couple weeks since the soil became too wet from being too deep in the aquaponic water, figure it’s ph related but I flushed her twice, each time ph came down, but didn’t seem to help, am I going the right direction or is it just N def now?

Tough to say with such a unique set up - but it looks hungry overall IMO or may be because of your pH issues. Could have some root issues going on, especially if you had the soil too wet for an extended period of time.. I know the fish provide some nutrients to the plant but if that’s all you’re depending on for the feeding of the plant I think that will be problematic. I’m no aquaponic expert. Soil nutes are likely entirely depleted at this point.

So my ts1000 has only been at just under 3/4 power, I have adjusted it down a little and moved it a few more inches away, I used epsom salts in my flushes as I heard that’s pretty much what the commercially available root flushes are, and as for the setup, typical aquaponics uses just the fish and a media bed, but I am using the dual root zone because the fish alone won’t provide enough nutes for the demand of the plants, so they get mostly water and some nutes from the fish and then I supplement the soil zone with nutrients. I have the soil pretty dry now, so I think I’ll do a nice feeding and go from there

Also, your leafs are really droopy. Idk if that's down to light stress. Having a TS1000 that close. Your not running that at 100% are you? It's too high a ppfd for a vegging plant unless you're enriching your environment with extra co2. You shouldn't have to exceed 75% at 45cm from your canopy through your entire veg. With that light you're to close.

Try give her a dose of Epsom Salt. It will give mag/sulphur. Mag will help with the uptake of NPK which you're having issues with. And sulphur has impact on Chlorophyll. Itll be a great benefit to your grow.. Good Growing
