so i know i need to do some serious work on my area, and i'm about to add 4 more 150 watt replacement cfl's., but my plants are getting sick. so...at this point there is no ventilation, but i am about to add a fan. they are bag seed for a trial run with this aero, and have been under 24 hour light for 3 weeks. i probably shouldn't have, but they got a full nute tab in the water when i put the seeds down to sprout, they seem to have liked it, i have been able to top one of them.when the other 2 sprouted, the taproot floundered for a day or 2 before it took hold, so they are really like a few days behind, but they have been progressing well. until now. see the spots? i have to say i haven't changed the solution till today. i thought that would cure whatever ailed it. would yall agree? started out with un-aged tap water, went back with distilled. and changed to miracle grow vegetable food. and i added some super thrive for good measure (might not help, but from i have read, it cant hurt, its just vitamins/hormones and the like. so anyway, i just changed everything today, so maybe my problems will clear themselves up. but im kinda curious, what do yall think it is? also its only about 73f in there so its not temp. and dont trip on my setup, this is really only an after thought to a nice hydro grow i have going with a partner. if this works well, i think im gonna use an aero for breeding. so tell me what ya think....:peace:

Definitely get them more light, and make sure you change your water and clean your parts about once a week. you may want to get a larger (4inch) air stone, and maybe even an extra stone with an extra pump. make sure you get a fan up. and then switch to hydroponics nutes (www.advancednutrients.com). Using filtered water should be good.

today is the first time i changed the water. i havent added any nutes since day one. is it possible they would just now be showing prob's from it?also since i havent done anything to the water from dday one, you think its just a ph problem, and todays water change should clear it up?
