First time hydro problems (pics)

so my girls leaves are slowly turning yellow from the bottom up ive got 2.5 gallons of water in my containter and 6 ml of each part of my nute mix in there which is a bit low but should be able to still support the plant. any advice on what needs to be change.

it might be that im not giving her enough nutrition but that would really surprise me? any idea whats going on guys

that amount of damage that quickly on a small plant i do not think it is a nutrient deficiency
although they do look light green

it's hard for me to say for sure, i would first look at rooting problems and environment problems

when they first start off in a system like you have, they do not have a large root system
they can become overwatered if they sit in a pocket/puddle of water or under watererd if the roots do not fully reach the solution at the bottom
also check the environment, the air temp, they look a little burnt too, not from food, as that would show on the newer growth and they would be dark green too

good luck

what should the temp of the water be i think it might be a bit low. other than that i cant think of any environmental problems temps are fine maybe a bit on the cooler side but nuthing huge.

the water being too warm is more likely to cause problems as with increased heat the oxygen decreases
i never use any heating for my res
cold water is supposed to mildly shock roots, i have never seen any lack of growth or problems, your water being cold is not a problem

if your environment is ok
what about the roots, how do they look ?
that damage you have is killing those leaves fast, they look bad, it looks like the system itself is not working right

they look almost like they would be sitting in a pan of solution that's not moving/aerated
are your roots reaching the solution comfortably , is the solution oxygenated enough ?
or are the roots sitting in a puddle that's not moving ?

i think you can rule out nute problems, as i know plants can grow bigger than that with plan water only, also, nute problems would show older growth being a different shade of green from the new shoots ,
yours are dying too quickly too early from the bottom up ,
if you dont sort it out soon, i recoken it will get alot worse fast
another reason why its not lack of nutes, nute deficiency that is a slower death
other than that i cant think what to suggest m8

peace

no puddle , i cant see the roots at the moment but id assume there getting enough water since the clay pellet medium is damp. this plant was started in soil than a week ago i cleaned off the roots and put it in hydro when i got it i was speculating that maybe some of the roots grew into the rockwool and not down as it normally would in hydro first because it was in soil would this possibly cause the plant to not get the water and nutrition it needs until the roots grow past the net pot into the aerated water. sorry if this sounds stupid im new to hydro just trying to figure everything out.

hmm, so its new into the hydro system, and its come from dirt lol that changes things somewhat

well it could be just experiencing some shock/ root damage since you moved it and prolly broke some roots
thats ok it will grow back, aslong as your roots are now nicely growing down into the hydro solution

i take it you have a decent air pump and plenty of bubbles
if it has only been 1 week, give it a bit more time to recover although it should start picking up soon

remove the dead leaves they are of no use to you now
with all the dead leaves gone, it will be easier to see if anymore leaves "start dying" or weather new shoots start growing healthy or get sick quickly

going from dirt to hydo is not the best idea
but no reason why it will not pick itself up
will take a little time for it to establish itself in the new system
give it an EC of 1.0 or half strength
maybe you could give it some rooting stimulant (rhizotonic) or for stress superthrive or something like that, to ease your mind

i wouldn't bother with additives myself i would just wait for it to regrow
hopefully it will regrow at the top faster than it is dying from the bottom
keep your eyes out for new healthy shoots at the tops
nothing else you can do really

my pump came with my system so im assuming its good i see lost of air bubbles, sorry what do you mean by ec. a leaf that looked really health 2 days ago now looks sick the leaf shown in picture 3 starting a new plant if this one dies is not a problem so atleaast if nothing more this will be a learning experience.

hmm, sadly it may die before it gets the chance to recover, the speed at which its dying is most likely from the damage caused by dirt - hydro
it needs to start growing new roots first, then you will see new shoots and new growth

how are you measuring the strength of the food ?
you should know what EC means or PPM ?

if this thing gets any worse, like more leaves start dying, don't waste your time on it
you have other plants to put in the system get them straight into the system, cut out the dirt stage too

dirt stage wasnt planned i just didnt have anything ready to put in there other than that one but im starting seedlings right now so i will have a new lady ready to go if this one dies. im at less than half strength right now surprisingly enough.

best thing you can do, is give this another week to pick up, if she show no signs of growing new shoots
cut your loss and put your new seedling into the system
make sure it has a root long enough to reach down to your solution or just above it
where the clay is still moist and bubbles are coming up

good luck m8

Uh... nobody has mentioned PH yet? What is it? Looks like lockout to me.
