ayup guys need some advice?? i'm a little experienced now, well i like to think! i've been using wilma drip system for a while and it became very easy i was getting good results from them but have now moved to a iws flood and drain one 12 pot and one 6 pot. my cuttins were well developed and where in a small pot with coco in. coco was always what i used but have now swithced to clay pebbles. regarding nutrients i've kept them all the same basically using the same method as before. i started flooding every 2 hours but my plants started weeping like they were getting over fed so i've increased to every 3 hours 6 pot gets a 7 min flood and 12 pot a 14min flood on a 18 hour cycle so there getting prob 5 feeds a day. my plants look dry there going lighter some leaves are going yellow with little dry bits on!! not good
i'm stuck my ph is around 6 ands thats always been spot on for these. so today ive turned the feed off thinking maybe there just over fed. can anyone give me examples of feeds there doing durations etc cuz i'm struggling bad with this??? thanks guys​

i use the iws too, but i think maybe ur problem is caused by over watering and depending how young the plant are maybe to many nutes to early?

over watering bro, try twice a day. Once when light goes on, and once 4 hr later. Each flood should be 8-10 min
