they say everywhere that healthy and large roots are a healthy and large plant, then there are large fruits, I especially to take care of the roots, before I started with hydroponics, I bought root juice from biobizz, I also bought their acti vera, I bought the whole biotabs starter kit where is it mycorrhiza and useful bacteria, when I started trying hydroponics, I bought rhizotonic for strong roots from Canna and Voodoo Juice, useful bacteria that protect and support the roots, I know the role of healthy roots and mine do not look sick, do not stink, are not slippery, are not black or brown ... they are nice, but what if their development does not explode, I do not know what causes it, the same problem in any medium, in any environment, with various fertilizers ... and the pepper seems to be indifferent and grows healthy ... wtf

The COTYLEDONS look healthy but the leaves look like it was poisoned.Grey burnt ends Mg deficiency
Could it be your fertilizer is contaminated with something?Do you use the same bottles?.
250ppm is 0.5 EC, so much EC has a special soil for seedlings, and then my 250ppm nke explains why they do not grow in the ground, what they dry up in the ground, you have to look at my problem from two positions, the position of the ground and hydroponics ...
I do not fertilize the soil, before I bought it all, I started like everyone else, soil biobizz and seed, without additives, additives and fertilizers I bought gradually ... with each failure I bought and changed, I looked for the cause, magnesium deficiency ... disappears, I tried spraying with calmag atami and it did not do anything after that in the land deficit after 10 days? impossible but I also used a calmag from biobizz to the ground, I have 2 types of everything, for soil and for hydroponics, for example: for ph regulation I have 2 bottles of biobizz regulators because they are natural and for hydroponics I have two other artificial regulators from GHE, the same with additions, I have root juice and starter biotabs for the ground, and for hydro I have rhizotonic and Voodoo juice.

I only use the GH line of nutes and only use NPK, CalMag, Hydroguard. I also have 6 air stones in each reservoir. When you start adding micro nutrients they can really start throwing off you PH and PPM. Any nutrient adjustment I make is always in small increments from what I know is safe.
Start with the basics and work your way out to micro nutrients which someone else pointed out aren't necessarily needed.
Also key: ZERO LIGHT IN RESERVOIR

I answer your questions ... what should I write to you? not truth? You ask me, I answer you, I understand that you are tired of my problem, I understand it perfectly because it is my problem and I cannot deal with it, it is damn difficult, I changed everything, I went from organic soil to hydroponics, do not kill me by saying that I am writing still the same ... I described everything I did, I understand that you cannot help me, I also cannot help myself, I have already asked on several forums, I wrote private messages to people, no one can help me, once I threw a pot with soil against the wall , helplessness, that's what I feel, thank you for giving me your time, I am grateful to each of you. in my country I cannot count on help, the only advice I heard was "you pour" and the second advice was "you can't plant hydro in the ground, you will not succeed either" that it is my fault and that is all from the help. I will not give up, I will not waste these 14 months.
@Alctrz8849 beautiful roots, mighty! my pepper has similar ones, only hemp has problems to build such roots ...

well..this is my problem. each plant is showing some weird deficiency.. its starts with root rot but ive dealt with it before and never faced any kind of leaf discoloration or deficiency. ive tried calmag, epsom salts, calcium nitrate but no response..probably just gets worse..ive asked around many forums and most says my nutrient, maxibloom, is good enough. many are growing successfully just with this nutrient alone with ro water without having to add calmag...so is my friend and myself previously before i moved to where i am now. im a little happy the plants grow a bit but the leaves tell me they really arent happy..i really cannot expect to yeild much i know...
I've gone to such an extent so as to wrap the whole bucket with a light proof towel..to prevent light leaks..incase anyone wondered what is the cloth doing around the plant...

@Iceman8700 actually a similar symptom ... but nevertheless your plants are 10x bigger than mine 
Your plants get sick and grow ... mine when they start to get sick, the growth practically stops, I tried to force the stems to stretch out by raising the lamp to a great height, but it's okay yes, the plant does not want to grow, it does not grow upwards, side shoots do not grow, yours are growing ...

I've never grown in soil, but I know that this is not good advice.
Edit - I didn't realize that there were 6 pages. I'm sure someone has always stated this.
I have two crazy ideas, 1- throw away all the plants I have at home, maybe one has a disease that you can't see and which is harmful to cannabis? the idea of 2- build a box like an incubator, set up an air filter that cleans the sucked air inside, i.e. unlike everyone else, they filter the air from the smell inside, I would filter the air from the room and drag it into the box ... here it would be useful a special growbox which will be difficult to have and this idea will be difficult to make, throwing house plants would also be sad, I will anticipate the question ... I do not have worms, I had mushroom mosquitoes but I limited their number, in my room where there is a hemp disease there are no mosquitoes, other I don't have worms either.

I'm thinking of trying coco dtw..soaked 2 seeds a day ago and will sow them tonight...hope it doesn't mess up.
@Iceman8700 coconut will not help you, it's just a medium that holds the roots, something between cultivation in the ground and hydroponics, we both have to find the cause of our problems, I would not be interested in hydroponics if it grew in the ground, my assumption was organic farming without artificial fertilizers, it was supposed to be naturally as God created it, unfortunately constant problems forced me to look for a solution until I entered hydroponics which gives 100% control over everything, nothing happens accidentally in hydroponics, everything is controlled by human and I thought that when I would have control over EC, pH and other things like water temperature, air temperature, Humidity, my cultivation will be successful, I also tried growing in perlite, it's a form of hydroponics, I saw some super photo reports how a guy had plants in a pepsi bottle filled with perilt, GHE flora fertilizers without additives and from every plant had a harvest between 20-30 grams, beautiful plants! their small size was really beautiful, mine died, I didn't even play with this perlite, death in the ground, death in coconut, death in perlite, death in DWC. damn it.

People have been growing in soil in fields for thousands of years, it's the natural way
.The only downside that I can think of of my advice is bugs & wild weed.
colleagues, what is the largest and oldest cannabis forum in the world? I have to look for help, advice everywhere, I have to find a man who had the same problem, I am not surprised that you cannot help me, I am cultivating like all of you, with the difference that you grow and I die ... only hemp dies , paprika and catnip beautiful and healthy, catnip has grown 50 cm high, a piece of bush. I need to seek help on other forums at the same time, what do you recommend? maybe there is something harmful in my house? maybe I have a 5g antenna on the roof or some strong wifi? but why sana hemp suffers ...

The consistency of your top soil probably isn't going to be as good as bagged soil, but the real issue is insects. Nature's hemostasis can get thrown out of whack when you separate a chunk of it to bring indoors.People have been growing in soil in fields for thousands of years, it's the natural way

@Sticky.Fingers I started with simplicity, slightly fertilized soil with biobizz light mix, water with adjustable pH 6.5 and that was all, each of us wants to spend as little money as possible and have super plants, I wanted that too, only each one failure brought new things and changes, root juice biobizz to stimulate the roots etc etc, I don't pour anything into the ground without sense. It was the same with Hydroponics, I bought the first GHE set because there was one, the plants were still sick with DWC, I thought that maybe the fertilizer is old? Broken? So I bought a Canna Aqua kit for growth and flowering, they were still sick, so I bought rhizitonic because I read the optimistic reviews about it, then I bought voodoo juice because people praised it ... and so I gradually added everything. my paprika grows on GHE and canna aqua, it grows without additives and with additives, voodoo juice and rhizotonic are not cheap, i try to save them only for cannabis but peppers got them too.
