I'm new to hydroponics. I previously did one grow in soil about 10-12h yrs ago with skunk #1 and it came out great. I got about a QP from it. I think I got lucky because this has been like taking care of a baby. I'm here for help with hydroponics DWC using Advanced Nutrients 3 part micro, grow, bloom. Thats the part I am having trouble with. PPM? I have a tester. I am good with keeping the ph balance in check. I am having trouble with humidity ( not enough) I have 3 plants in a DWC set up with a high vol pump with 4" air stones and about 4 inches around. They disperse the bubbles very well. All are feminized white widow x big bud. A supposedly easy strain to grow with high potency and yield. One plant looks great. They were all germed on 4/16. one plant is growing like a weed but the other two are having issues. I have to say I had a light fall on those two but they continued to grow. Then I didn't figure out the importance of PH range soon enough and figured out they had a nitrogen deficiency. I determined this by the yellowing of the leaves and new growth was yellow. I fixed the issue but have no Idea where my TDS should be on those and the healthy one. They were all around 100 now they are all around 200 TDS. I will supply pics The one on the left is obviously the worse. Right now they are all about 200tds, ph 5.8, humidity 40 percent which I know is too low. I tried a humidifier but no luck so I bought and old school vaporizer. The one that is healthy was only 88TDS before I raised it but the plant was big enough to handle it. I was thinking about still going a bit higher on that one. Now I have a 4 bucket RDWC setup but I dont think I can transfer them all to the same system. Is it worth putting 1 plant in a 4 bucket system. I really need help with administering thenutrients. Everywhere I read people are saying only use 1/4 strength and thats what I have been doing for the past 5 weeks. 1st I did 1cc per gallon of each then 2cc of each. That seemed too much for the ones that were stunted as new groth was getting burned tips. That one i had @400 TDS. I really have no clue what each plant wants and when to give it to them. should they be fed daily? I spent a lot of money and I cant even tell you how much reading. I dont want to fail and dont want to starve the one that is healthy. Please help. I cant afford my 500.00 a month habit anymore so I choose to grow my own. Any help is greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance!
