DWC update-lkmyblz

this is what i got going on it has been 3weeks and im think im getting nute burn i have been running my ph under 6.0 and it really hasn't moved from their. im feeding them 1/4 strength nutes tiger bloom-vigiro for veg but im not using the powder vigiro anymore, im just going to use the tiger. what do you think?

ok, well, i thought about this yeaterday. pics of your roots are different to me. for example....once some roots emerge from pots they usually jusp right in the water and then the other follow. your all seem to be getting near your water and stopping. they should be longer than that by now. i do see some nute burn..just use tiger bloom, and get some real nutes from the hydro store. get some flora nova. never did me wrong yet. if i were you i would do a res change. clean water, 1/4 strenght nutes, and then maybe drop your ph a little. 5.5, 5.8. they look healthy, and so do roots, but for some reason your roots are keeping there feet out of the water, like they dont like it. the bursting bubbles are keeping them happy. no reason to panick.

You've definitely got some nutrient deficiency going on there. They are hungry and you should up to at least 1/2 strength now. Are you using any kind of micro nutrients? If not, you should get some Cal-Mag cause they look Mg deficient.

ok i needed to do a water change anyways put the curled leaves and brown tips are bothering me. they do look good other than that and they are getting bigger so i guess i won't panic and will see what happens......

no just tiger bloom

im pretty sure it dosnt matter, but if all else fails maybe the rocks are doing something. i got some epsom over hear if you want some brother.

don'y hate on my rocks, their cooool, no i think its that vigiro powder,but i don't know

lol, i try some epsom

salt? how much?

i would add i teaspoon pre gallon just to be safe. to be honest since i know your setup.........personally........add 4 tablespoons of it. but listen, you need the right kind of epson salt. dont get the damn fragrance kind.. and also, crush the salt in a small ammount of hot water, let cool, then add to res/stir well. it might not be mg, but epsom wont hurt it, i promise. hope all is well, grow green, and stay medicated!

ill grab some from you 2 morrow im medicated for sure, and im trying to stay green but not looking to hot after flush yesterday, thought that they might have perked up a little, but still no sign. is it ok to have the roots in the water now?or shoiuld i wait for them to get longer?

as long as water is 1" below net pots it should be fine. my water is sevaral inches away from net pot.

ok i got it kind of high right now im going to drain some now. thanks peace out.

why are you draining it? where was the water before? you need to keep it just under your roots... are your roots more than a inch long from the bottom of net pot? if yes, just take out enough to keep the ends of the roots wet from the bubbles, as they grow, slowely lower more.

no their all over the roots i had it to high but i thought they might grow a little faster if the roots were in the water? you know?

absolutely not. you need to let that medioum dry out, i told you that. just enought water to burst bubbles on the tips of your roots. get the water away from the net pot. your ganna stem, or root rot if the meduim stays wet. if you think about it, my meduim is dry 24/7 because the water level is just for the roots after they have emerged. got it?

Yeah my rockwool has been bone dry since week 2 when I lowered the water level.

well lowered the level all seems well just not growing any bigger?

here they are 3 1/2 weeks in the tub and look at them go.. nice and green no more of the yellow leaves like i had,and look at the roots they took off boy. should i be worried about the little bit of brown on them? also im using 1/4 strength nutes as in tiger bloom. should i boost them now?
