yeah going to transplant them in a dwc container this week...... u think is the humidity? i was reading that it might be a calcium or mg lock out so i just flushed them with r/o water ad just cal/mag at a ph of 5.8

thats what i was using before,, but since i read it might be a cal mag issue i just wanted to feed it cal mag to see if it responds withoutht all the extras

Are u kidding?
It looks like Nute burn to me. Don't feed calmag lol. Water with plain water and then your next watering start with a grow nute like Growbig at 1/4 strength dose. Alternate with plain water and then feed again. I rarely use Calmag unless I see a Mag def. And a Mag problem looks nothing like that.

your ppm is 600. u dont often hit that even in veg. i normally hit 550 ish before nut burn in veg but your plants dont even have full roots they are clones, chill on the nuts man. and u will be good.

and not 600 i meant to say 400 the calculator says it should be 800 but since i only use4 out of the 11 on the list of nutrients to use sensi A+b, voodo n b52 it only comes out to 400 with tap water

your P H is too low your gonnae get lockout at 5.8 it should be 6.5 if you get that sorted the rest will fix itself imo:clap::leaf::leaf::fire:

OP said its gonna be DWC. the PH at 5.8 is fine. my question is when was the last time you calibrated your meter?

hey wassup guys heres an update to what happened and what i did... i just figured out it was a deficiency couldve been iron or zinc i dont know so i made a simple aeroponics system with parts i had at home .. i used r/o water cal mag and nutrients .9 ec to be exact to fill up my res the temps stay between 73 n 79 i also hooked up the blue lab guardian meter to check on the ph wich stays at 5.6 5.8 .. in the beginning the ph was al over the place and i think some root rot was ging on cuz the res felt slimey or slick.. and the roots are a lil brown but then 2 weeks into the plant exploded here are the pics... im going to flush the res and clean it this week so .. so far so goodIMG_0268.jpgIMG_0275.jpgIMG_0276.jpgIMG_0274.jpg
