Troubles in DWC

[pjp419]

Having what i think is a nute burn issue looking for a second opinion. EC= 0.80
PH= 6.0* (varies between 6.0 and 6.4) Theyre about 3 weeks old from seed, started em in an aero, moved to DWC. Been in DWC for 3 days.

What type of nutes are you using? How much, and how often?

Keep the pH between 5.8 and 6.2

Keep the pH between 5.8 and 6.2

Yea nute burn happens at the tips. They turn yellow and crunchy and if severe the leaves will curl downward and roll up. This is a ph problem.

GH Flora series
EC-.70

If its a PH prob, and im trying to keep the PH @ 6.0 should I flush drip system with fresh water ??

Using PH pro up and down, havent really used the up. PH ALWAYS goes up.

Keep it at 5.9

I would also agree that this is a pH issue. Try to stay between 5.8 and 6.2 like tom said. Be careful when you adjust pH, do not change it by more than .5 at one time.

thanks all

i have it @ 5.9 now, well see.
How long should it take to recover ?? should the affected leaves be trimmed after a while?

It was in fact a ph issue. I changed to the lucas formula 0-8-16 with GH nutes Looking real good.!! thanks again all!!!

I have found that pH problems go hand in hand with the nutes being used. I used to have pH problems but now don't. I'm not plugging any nute brand, but since I used Humboldt Master A&B, my plants don't seem to care a bit as long as pH is between 5.5 and 6.8. Yes, 6.8 and not a spot on them.
