Honestly I don't use a ppm meter, mainly because I don't have the cash for one haha. But what I do know is that fox farm already has 30 days worth of nutes, keep in mind everytime you transplant you are getting another 30 day supply of nutes along with it. My tap water is around 270 ppm. With...

Pretty sure you have mites. If you dont have any insecticide then use some sunlight dish soap, a drop in a spray bottle, soak the whole plant under leaves and all. Repeat this every other day. If you dont do anything and this is spider mites, they will spread pretty dam quick. When they spread...

Do you have some sort of collar thats holding the plant in place? Im not familiar with the aerogarden or how the plant is secured. Is there anything pinching the stem where you see the defect?

Well does it look like it is rotting? or does it look like the stem is maturing and maybe browning a bit? Its really hard to tell because the pic is so blurry. You say you have a lot of roots? how do the roots look? are they nice and white? If so, then I would say you are good as long as that...

oh dang man!! you might have spider mites, or eggs or the larvae, or some sort of fungus. But this sounds like mites to me, you better start hitting those things with azamax or something similar hard and ASAP before they explode!!!

The purple in the stem is from a phosphorus deficiency, usually resulting in a nute lockout which you seemed to figure out why that happened in the first place. As soon as this thing perks back up, I would hit it with some form of phosphorus like blood food. Remember the 3 numbers on ferts...

Ya I learned this the hard way. I kept screwing up plants my first grow so much that they ended up like 6'' tall after a month! hahah And this was starting from a clone! I think I had to chop em down and re root like 3 times due to some random screw up. Finally I was like, screw it, these plants...

I would definitely flush if you have a lockout due to ph fluctuation, then fix the cal/mag deficiency. This is depending on your setup youre using, which im not sure of. Good luck

oh man that sucks! sorry to hear that. Not only did he make you throw out your plants, but now theyre gonna be scanning your place. If it is possible, and you want to grow still, I would suggest moving hahah

If you transplant these into soil, I dont think I would bury them as deep as having the soil 1'' below the first node. If you did that, then you would have like 5'' of stem under dirt until you actually get to the root. With 5'' of bare stem under the soil, you would probably end up with some...

I think you used too much light for the size of the plants. If it happened right after you turned on the other cfl, it was probably too much light. Small plants like these dont hold much moisture and it doesnt take much for the light to dry em up. Are these in any type of medium besides the...

Is this in a aero cloner? Has it rooted yet? If its in some sort of cloner and doesnt have roots, it looks like you got air in the stem and is rotting from the 45 degree cut and going up

Oh and remember that when feeding your plants in fox farm ocean forest, unless you added dolomite lime the ph needs to be somewhere in the 7's. I feed with a ph of 7.5 and my runoff ph is always perfect, between 6.3-6.8 I noticed that without dolomite lime, the soil will drop the ph like a...

This looks like a nitrogen overdose and a magnesium deficiency! You need to flush this thing right away and get the ph right. Remember if you overdose with nitrogen or calcium, this can lock out the plants ability to use magnesium. By looking at your plants, it would make perfect sense of a...

ya I was thinking it might be normal for his particular strain of green crack, but you can see the leaves below in the pic and they arent nearly as green/purple as the ones above
