I have 19 plants growing in the versagrow 10 pot system(2 of them), under 400w MH running @ 300w in a EBallast, feeding currently with 200ppm of AN Sensi Grow and B-52, added to water that is half ro, half tap, cal-magged to 180ppm. They are watered 4 times a day for 15 minutes, the other 16 plants in the systems are doing excellent with same nutrients and same feeding schedule, even plants that are younger by 2 weeks, so I assume it's not nutrient burn!
I did have the humidity extremely low in my tent, an important note(about 21-30% humidity at 75F). Also, I washed off my airstones with dishsoap when I did my most recent res change and clean and may have had some dishsoap residue that got in the res, figured it wasn't a HUGE deal, cause it's not killing the other plants. Ph also managed to raise itself up to 7.0 which i did not notice for a day or two, so another possible variable in the issue, I managed to get the PH under control now at about 5.8-6.2. It seems the new/top growth in these is starting to have the issue, and it's only happening to about 2-3 of the plants in there, but the leaves are crispy to the touch and dead feeling, started with only the lower growth but seems to be reaching the top growth. Also had a powdery mildew problem which I treated with a spray on organicide, it was however only on the surface of the rockwool and seems to have since been erradicated. Just to note this is my first hydro venture, have done a successful soil and co-co grow consecutively. Yes I know, lot's of issues so far! However all the other plants are growing at an exponential rate! Anyone have any ideas if these can be recovered/what would be causing this issue? Thanks for any help guys!
