Heres the situation... I have 12 pots running on the ebb and grow with hydroton as my medium. Ive been having problems...so I thought...with my ph rising. I kept putting in ph down and then the day before yesterday my seedlings started getting brown spots and some of the tips are turning brown. I went today and got some solution to test my ph meter and it was off by 1.3 high. GRRRRR So Ive actually been adjusting the ph in the 4s... Right now my ph is at 5.8. Do you think my plants will make it and if so how long does it take for the nute lock to go away?

:leaf:THANKS!!!:leaf:
 
Did you run the system for a day with straight water or a mild solution to flush out the residue first? It usually takes a week or so to see that things are back on track.
 
No not yet. Didnt know what to do. I just found out today that my meter was off by 1.3. Do I have to run a flush if my ph is right now?

Thanks Wolverine97!
 
Im not really sure on the ph because Ive been having ph problems since the beginning... They just started getting the brown spots on Monday. The seedlings that have the brown spots are 10 days old from seed.

What about the plants in the ebb n grow? How far along are those?
 
Thanks! Ive been freakin out! Hope they bounce back quick! O ya...The guy at the dispensery told me today that I should just pull them all out cause they looked like shit and they should already be like a foot tall.... I think he just wanted me to buy clones there or he didnt understand that they were seedlings. Ive never seen a seedling at 10 days old be a foot tall...

They charge $20. He said he would sell one to me for $10 though. He said if I bought all 12 he would sell the to me for $150. Next time I might just go with the clones for $150! Question on the h2o2...The bottle says 3ml per gallon of the 29% should I still ad 7ml?
 
Well my plants looked fine earlier...Just went and checked on them and the tips are looking yellow and the leaves are looking droopy. The leaves were sticking up or out to the side and now they are pointed down.... GGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR............... Going to empty the res again.
 
Here are some pics of what they are looking like now...

K I know you have done a flush and those leave will never heal so just watch the upper new growth an keep the ph in the 5.8 or close to it.
and they will pull through. if your going to keep useing nutes keep it real low.
