400w 1st hydro grow in grow tent

still dont really get it bro lol .. i checked the ppm it said 315 is that good?

Hey buddy! I'm in the same boat as you! check out my journal!.... Here's my thoughts, are your roots really nice looking yet? if not maybe they're getting super stressed... I'd place them under florescents for a bit just to get them a little stronger. you can get some cheap cfl's that will do the trick. If the roots are healthy looking, try just giving them straight water with a touch of nutes, and make sure you PH balance them... thats much more important at the begining than the PPM. I try to keep mine around 6.0-6.3. Other people have different ideas, but I've been having great success with that. Wish you the best, check out mine every now and then and I'll keep tabs on yours! Good Luck!

nice looking setup bro will def be keeping tabs on your grow! and yea the roots are looking good ima be keeping them in just water for about a week or so since there recovering from nute burn. i had a couple of questions tho..

• i started to use the powder ph down and it leaves residue in the res and on the net pots is that normal ? and also one of the plants rockwool got real soggy and lost its shape its just a chunk of rockwool holding the roots is that going to effect anything in the future ? if so what should i do
  
  
  
  
  
  

Also how much do you plan on yielding out of your setup ? ill def switch mines up to something like that if its worth it

PPM = Parts per million... AKA how strong your nutrient mix is. If you have any hopes of Growing hydroponically i would Read up on PPM

Her leaves are starting to discolor and look slightly yellow any know what is causing this ? and if so what should i do? shes been in 5.5 ph water for a couple of days now..

Not to sound like a smart ass but how do you start a dwc grow and not know the general basics such as ppm or ec? Sounds to me that you need learn some basics before you started your grow. Just giving you some tough criticism.

You need to flush your plants

they have been flushed i said theyve been in 5.5 ph water for a couple of days... and thanks bro i know i gotta read up on ppm and all that didnt realize it was that important. do you know whats wrong with her tho ?

The yellowing won't go away. You'll just grow new green leaves. If you don't have a ppm meter than just use 1/4 nute strength when feeding your plants. If you do have a ppm meter start off around 200 ppm's.
