wilting plants! please help!

Hello, I'm new to the forum but have no where else to turn on this one. I have 15 plants in ebb and flow buckets. I am 5 weeks into flower and I am using gen hydro nutes. As well as hygrozyme and some other additives. I am on the heavy schedule. I keep my PPM at about 1200 - 1300 right now. My ph stays at 6.0! I have been watering 6 times a day. 15 min. Each time. I lost a beautifull white widow the other day. It just wilted up and died the next day. I tried to save her but no luck. I flushed for a couple days and still no love! I ended up pulling her and filling back up with nutes! Now a few days later my pride and joy sour diesel is doing the same thing! The only thing I can think of is root rot. I backed off to 4 waterings a day. The roots look ok from what I can see. The trunk of the trees feel a little whomped out. That's the only thing that looks off in the whole room. Temp stays around 75-80. Good lights, fans, ect... Please help! I have no clue on this one

What do you mean by whomped out? Soggy? What medium are you using, rocks? . If anything you are feeding too much. Any piks? GH nutes are GMB or Nova or Vegan? what are your other additives?

changing to 4 floods a day didnt help any? weird...
 
Yeah the trunks are all loose and soggy. The buckets seem like good roots just loose around the base. I use the 3 part GH. Flora nectar. Kool bloom. Hygrozyme. And neem spay every couple weeks. They are in rock woll and hydroton clay beads.

Does the soggy trunk extend well below the surface? Likely Stem Rot: Go with a chlorine regimen of 4 drops/gal Clorox for a day than 2 drops for the remainder of the grow. Axe the hygozyme, the clorine will kill it. back off on nutes to 700 ppm for a week than 1000 here on out. 3ea 15 min floods/day. You are feeding too often. Rockwool is more water retentive than hygro rock so floods should be less. I hope you caught this in time.

sounds like you are over feeding to me i grow in both rockwool and clay balls aswell and unless u have massive flowering plants i dont see why you would need to feed it that much....but u did say you lowered the feed amounts so with out a pic thats as far as i can help
