dwc and drip system HELP

ASAP Dump and flush. Use ~ 10% of fresh nutes for the flush. This flushes more salts off than just water.

If you don't know what you are doing DON'T

FYI, 3 years ago, I started out with DWC via Drip. I am not a fan of either. You want the top of medium dry. When you run into nutrient problems you have to dump the whole thing and start over. Check out my journal for hassle free ideasi

I did the dump flush and now am considering cutting off the remaining wilted leaves....

Good. First try cutting them back as you would when cloning, but if the stems are drooping you may need to cut off the entire leaf. You must save some or the plant will die

Start Over. Next time remember, mix according to the manufacturer instructions or even less. I run my nutes half strength and the plants still look good. The amount of nutrients a plant needs is amazingly small. Yes, I killed my plants with nutrients when I was a kid too.

How do the roots look, that plant looks 100% dead / sick

Yeah very bad burn. do you own a ppm? I am doing dwc 5 gallon buckets and check my ppm everyday just because I am paranoid and so far plants are looking amazing.

it also looks like it could be mold. Try throwing a piece of aluminum foil cut into a circle around the stem. I had a top drip hydro that went all bad cuz I one, used organic soil nutrients, and two got mold and algae all over probably because the nutes were not supposed to get hit by the light ever.

Foil it not the best reflector to use, use emergency warming blanket that can be found in walmart.
