u think so i splash them with water rapidly??? u think thats a problem i was tryin to infaltrate rain
You've totally lost me with that.

You burnt the shit out of them with the 2x nute OD and then compounded the problem by not changing out the rez.

Good luck with the grow.

Yeah, first off...dont try to imitate rain. Just do the things that ALL the growbooks tell you to do. Ph between 5.5 and 6.5 is a pretty big variation man. So, its hard to pinpoint exactly where your problem is, the old res solution, the too high of nutes, the indoor rain, the using a 150 watt light... Pretty much you know what you need to do. Give it the right amount of nutes at the CORRECT ph, change the res regularly, not a WEEK late, no more rain, and get some supplemental lighting. Shazza.

Its like kung fu panda....there is no secret ingredient ;-)

do you think they will live????? the new growth is still fine???ill post better picks if u guys wanna see????
Those last two questions...are theu really questions? I dont know of the new growth is fine, do you?
Again, the cure is to just grow them correctly. Right nutes, change the res, dont love em to death, and dont disregard them either....

lol wow you need a better camera.

hydro, you want 5.3-5.5, so 6.5 is not ok.
the temps are fine, and at that temp, with DWC, your humidity is fine
and dont over fert. if the color of that plant in that pic, is the color of the plant, then your over ferting like a madman.
you can imitate rain, or spray them with a spray bottle (on mist) or whatever you want, thats fine, pure water, and do it when the lights just turned on. otherwise the water droplets will act as a magnyfying glass, and the light will burn the plants.

so ya screwed the pooch with nutes. empty out 1/2 the water from the reservoir that ya got, and add it back in as plain water, this will cut the amount of nutes in there by half. that will help alot.

its a lot better to underfeed then overfeed

Hi mate.

When changing your tank, have your ph at around 5.5, don't worry if it rises, i leave mine drift from 5.5 to 6, 6.2 then i take it back to 5.5. That way the plant can take up all the different micro nutrients it needs.
