HELP: My babies are suffering

Hey everyone, I started a DWC grow with 20,000 lumens of mixed CFL lighting with a room temperature of 75-80 Farenheit and Humidity at around 40%. My PH is balanced with PH buffered nutrients and Ultra-Micron RO Water. These are my four babies. HOPEFULLY someone can help out to diagnose the overall problem.

At that early stage I hope someone comes along soon for you...all I can say is maybe a little too much nutrients at too early a stage...

they don't need ANY nutes until the original leaves fall off or start to yellow.

Flush them and start feeding a 1/4 of recomended dosage when they reach 6" or so (ie 5ml in 2 gallon not 20ml if that what instructions say) and then gradually increase the feed to full strength.

thank you jesus, May i add that i used a foliar spray and they changed a little bit. I also had a 1/4 nutrient mix and changed to 1/2. That must be the problem.

my babies are dead. i dont know why anyway this thread should be closed now since they're ALL dead now. I came back from work and they were all shriveled up and dead.

........rip......

Hey man, here is a web site for you to go look at. In the fert secrtion there is a auto cal. I do not know the type of food you are using but this will help you get an idea of where you need to be at for ppm at each stage of your plants life. Home - Future Harvest Development
Hope this helps you some.

Make sure you keep your system good andd clean, flush once a week or atleast every ten days. Also want to keep your rez temp down in the small 70s

I think my 20,000 lumen CFL light fixture was far too close to the plants maybe half inch even. They shriveled up and browned up and died. (Just when they recovered from nute burn and were starting to grow pretty I fucked it up)

I feel like going back to basics. I'm going to start a soil grow. Soil grows don't require too much water (6 Gallons every 10 days on my hydro wtf). Any recommendations for any soil brand in specific? Right now i'm using a soil by the name of "Jiffy Soil" It contains Spag Peat Moss, Vermiculite, Dolomite Lime, and I don't see them mentioning any nutrients. It doesn't look like it contains very much aeration so i'm going to mix 1/2 Jiffy and 1/2 Perlite. Any suggestions?
