Check the air system first leaky manifold may still be the issue but 1100 ppm in a dwc is a bit high for veg. Remember airstones in the rootzone supercharge nutrient uptake and the ppms are much less than other hydro setups. Ebb and flow and undercurrents usually top out closer to 1600 to 1800 ppm. Dwc More like 1200 late mid to late flower. Ppm also depends on light 1200 ppm under 1k lights

Or even 600 its easier to add more if they show dificiency than it is to fix overfeeding nute burn

The pic shows decent air flow... IMO the major clawing and deformed new growth shows too hot nute solution. I've been through it. We'll get him on the right path.

Ill be doing a nute drop after 6 hours of sleep. Gunna go back to the 750 levl maybe even 700 and see what happens

Ok gents both res are down to about 750 800 ppm and ph back down to 5.5. Good news is i have a excellent PH swing. Stay tuned for updates on the girls. Oh and when looking at the PPM reader im going with the PPM 700 EC reading correct?

K well i was using 700 scale which 1120 is right around your mark soo lets hope o didnt go to low. EC flashes between 1.0 and 1.2

Should be good. Better to under feed than over feed at this point. With DWC you should see effects pretty rapidly...like within a couple days.

I have customers like you. ( i run a hydro store) ill tell you what i tell them. If your depending on a harvest for 100% of your income and you have no experience grow in soil with organic nutrients. Almost dummy proof. The hardest thing abought growing pot it figuring out how easy it is. Run a small hydro set up in the corner that you can tinker with. That way even if the hydro fails the first time you still have 75% of your tent to fall back on. When you have a sucesfull harvest from your hydro corner then make the switch. If you do go from hydro to soil your plants will wilt for a couple days than bounce back

Ok so i have a friend selling me a 4x4x8 tent for 100 bucks. Once i receive said tent i want to finish the hydro in the closet best i can. Then i want to try a soil grow indoor. Is it really easier? How often do you feed and so on right..well best get reading. I want to try and finish this DWC grow best i can. So i guess i gotta wait and see what happens
. What kind of yield am i looking at if i do soil. Your plants look fucking top notch id love to do that set up....thanks again man you help lower my anxiety with all these answers

Soo your only suggestion now is wait a week to see if the lower ppm helps. Roots are not slimy water is clean. PH is great. Its gotta be over nute. May i ask those plants you have now. How mant pots and ball park how much you think it will gicr you come flower?

Pots do not mater one bit its light and canopy. You can grow one plant in a 5x5 or 16 in the 5x5 the yeald will be the same. More pots is more work but veg time is less because your growing smaller plants. Less plants is easier but veg is longer because it takes biger plants to fill the area.
