I have 5 plants with all of them still on water only set at 6Ph level of 6. The Temp is usually aroun 70-74 with heating pads under each tray. i water everyday in the morning to keep Rockwool moist and roots saturated. Some leaves are looking burnt and it seems like a few plants are not growing very well. chek out my pics! I plan to move plants to my other room in a month and and mother them. Any suggestions on a soil or grow medium for my mothers?

Those blocks should be good for 3 foot plants if you're just using them in veg. I'd just feed them every other day with a .7 EC veg formula. The hydroton is not needed either.

Yes you should, also use it full strength b/c thats a really weak formula. I would get some nutes that are high in Nitrogen (the first number in the 5-5-5) and Potassium (the last number) then in flower switch to something high in Phosphorus (middle). Check out a hydro shop in your area they will help you out.

I started off using half solution for about a week and have now swithced to full strength. Iv'e been watereing them 3 time a day with 18 hrs of light. Iven been watering them through the top by just pouring it on top. the rockwool seems to be turning a dark green. I also added an air purifier blowing down on them and an oscilating fan in front of them.
