ph perfect worked perfectly when I used it. My wallet was skillfully drained of any excess cash....lol, but seriously, it was awesome good for my plants.

There in clays balls they have kind of picked up now the growth still isnt the best but my ppm's are steady now and ph isnt moving much so i think there feeding i dont think they will fully recover tho..

Ahh right did you ph stabilise the pebbles when u started out? As that can cause nutrient difficencies Also you never want the ph getting over 6 in veg and never over 6.3 in flowering personally I’d keep it at roughly 6.0 throughout
it’s whole life apart from the last couple of weeks.
Glad they sound like there picking up good luck bro.

You could really as your supposed to very occasionally remove the plants and wash the pebbles through and then put them back and how far into grow are you? If you still earlyish stages and your worried about stunted root growth then I’d try a root stimulator id personally recommend Dutch pro take root I’ve had great results and root growth from it,
Hope this might give u a bit of help

Your last pictures were 20 days ago, any new pictures?
Are you still using tap water?
What are the ppm's of your tap water?

Always have correct PH for nutrients otherwise your wasting nutrients and locking them out. Your money?

Make sure you add micro into water first before other nutrients. Or get locked out.

Clean your hydroton clay pebbles before a grow. Or get PH imbalances and or lock outs.

Make sure water under the baskets is not touching.. Or get root rot & or PH issues as well as root diseases.

Be certain your air stones are working and lines are not clogged. (Change air stones out every 2 grows)

Florakleen helps clean out salts in a DWC system.

If you have root issues use SM90.

Also let your water sit out 16-24 hours before using it with nutrients.

Lastly make certain you have temps and humidity correct, or you are wasting your time.

If you follow some or all these guidelines you should be back to normal.

Good luck
