This is what I would do. In exact order.

1. Rinse thoroughly like alot man. Especially the media. Bc all the holes and nooks n crannys on the clay and plants roots. With ph'd plain water.
2. Empty nuted res.
3. Fill with your tap water ph'd that set out.
4. Let plants set in the ph'd tap water for 24-36 hours
5. Keep bubbling your tea.
6. Removed enough tap water to add the amount of tea you have.
7. Add your tea.
8. Leave plants in ph'd water and bennies tea. For another 24-36 hours. Keep your temps ad steady as possibly. To much fluctuation will mess with the cell reproduction and chlorophyll production. And causes the plants to transpire at a faster rate when hotter.
9. Check Ph of you res every hour or as you can. To make sure the nutes that are already stacked in the plant aren't bleeding back to your res.
10. Then after 4 days roughly. Empty res, and replace with 1/4 strength nuted water. No h2o2 this time though.

Now that is what I would do if it was my setup. Not saying what your doing is wrong. This is just my opinion. Use my info as much as you can. You can message me privately if ya want or need man. Good luck.

@horribleherk if you see anything missing or wrong in my info feel free to chime in man.

Thanks for the plan, I'll keep you updated how the progress goes. I have an a/c unit and a water cooler so keeping my temps stable shouldnt be an issue. I have been keeping the air temps at 75f and the water temps at 65f.

all I can say is I had a thread called th- seeds mk ultra -x- bubblegum in a waterfarm I had problems I blamed it on genetics, I blamed it on water , I blamed it on my nutrients but I never blamed it on myself & the fact I over fed my plant I turned a 90 day grow into a 6 month grow stickman & anonymous helped me out as best they could leaves looked like cauliflower, mutated & not like cannabis in the end I dropped my ppm. to 400 & in about 10 days it turned around without anything but my nutes

I'll be the first to admit I have done stupid things to screw up this grow:

Things I know I have done wrong:
1.) I had my top feed running at full water pressure for the first week of planting the seed. This caused way too much over watering and probably the ultimate reason it has gone down hill from there
2.) On numerous stages of the grow I have had too strong nutrients. I started off doing full strength nutrients as suggested on the bottle. (Huge mistake)
3.) There has been days where I have accidentally left the light off, water pump off, or the fill hole uncovered.
4.) I am guilty of babying the plants too much

I think I have corrected my behaviors on 1,2 and 3. Number 4 is a bad habit that is hard to break.

I've done worse & #4 is what has got me more than once sometimes I shoot myself in the foot lol...

My droppers work off an air pump the air is pumped down to the bottom of a tube & as the bubbles rise they push nutrients up the column into the dripper oxygen is constantly mingling with the nutes as they continue circulating it's pretty much foolproof here are my babies at day 25IMG_2185.JPG

Nothing much to report today on numbers, just doing my flushing and steps suggested to do. I should have numbers and pictures again on Sunday. I'll be gone tomorrow.

Yeah I think so, the leaves are standing up and I'm seeing a little root growth. No slime that I see
See man. We will get you straightened around. This is a good site to be on. I learned every piece of info I have in my head from here. And another site. But I don't care for it as much. The people are cooler over here. They are more apt to help you, and the other site they are more apt to dog you. But whatever. Thats why i stay on this one. Take a pic let me see the leaves. When you get a chance

the one on the left is a little droopy now, but I did have them under the water faucet for a good 20mins each plant to rinse out all the hydroton. Its probably a little over watered from that.

Maybe I'll turn my top drop off for the night, they only get 2gph from the dripper but since they got drenched from the faucet probably don't need it for a day
