have 8 kush plants, 4 og and 4 purple. closet rig, 600w about 1.5 -2 ft obove plants. good air circulation.. doesnt get too hot, fan bolowing. Im starting with distilled water, ph down to high 5s, and ppm at arond 600 (bloom yellow bottles A and B- at 270ppm each, ... pretty close to anyways.. couting with a meter. and root 30-50. Still in veg state starting second week. Plants about one foot and look pretty good except the three of them (middle row) have some leaves that got dry, yellow-very yellow!!!, brittle, some breaking..while the rest of the plant looks much healthier.. the other plants all are a little droopy.

this is my first grow and ive been trying to read as much and ask as many questions as possible so forgive me if it sounds amature. Am i doing anything that is probably causing these plants to yellow?
also, when do i start trimming them for growth? anybody have og experience that can give me the low down? much appreciated!!!

in aero if u have a male, killing it doesnt damages females? if roots are growed together?

No it wont hurt the females. Just leave the roots right where they are. Just cut it off at the base of the stem.

Really?

I thought a mass of dead roots in your system would cause all kind of trouble with pythium and root rot...

But what do I know... I don't do aero...

Did you build your own system or buy it from online sellers, such as StealthHydro. I have been trying to figure out the costs differences and want to get you opinions.

Water. VV

Well... if you have more time than money, build it, if you have more money than you have time, buy it.
The pre-built systems have features built into them that you can not duplicate for less. The flood trays I bought and discussed it a DIY thread have better drainage built in to the tray than you could make, so I buy the trays and build a table to hold them. Now. lol
There are several threads in the DIY section, probably one for any system you can make, and they will range from 'ghetto set-ups' that work to Mercedes. VV

I was told that optimum conditions in hydro is..... res temp 58 degrees, air temp with co2 is 84 degrees, ph 5.8, and 40% humidity. My question is do optimum conditons vary between strains?

i posted this elsewhere on the site but why not post again....my hydroton is consistantly turning green every grow no matter how clean i keep my table...is it normal?

Possibly. Some strains may do better in higher temps, this would be strains developed near the equator. Some strains may do better in cooler climates, these would be strains that were developed farther from the equator. For all practical purposes, if you can get the conditions you list, your plants will do just fine. VV

It must be normal, algea doesn't have any unnatural powers, it grows when the conditions are right. If light is hitting the water and the temperature of the water is 70 degrees or above, algea can grow, it doesn't have much to do with how 'clean' the table is. If you provide more detail and a picture, we might be able to help. VV
