Here are pictures to what is happening after I took everyones advice I slowed the water. Its is supposed to be hydro but the system I created is holding water longer that it should I backed down to water ones a day seems to be working I dont know if I should back down to every other daylet me know.I lowered the light tell me if its low enough if should I go any further but any futher the back of my hand starts to get hot. I changed the water and nuits and added h202 to the reserve the new leaves look good to me the yellowing is from the old damage I took dead leaves on two and left the other two how do they look.

Most people recommend 2-3 feet for lighting so it looks like you got it set up right also.

I would water every 3-4 days at this stage. Pic up the rockwool to see how light it is. If its heavy then its full of water. It need to dry almost as light as the day you bought it. If you water everyday you will be sorry.

First off: How the hell am I supposed to take a shower with all that crap in the bathroom?

Just a few thoughts on your grow set up!

1. Nice Set up.

2. Do you vent the moisture from the air? If not, this may be keeping your plants to moist (not allowing the soil to dry out quick enough).

3. Root rot ~ Soil growing is the worst when it comes to root rot! Soils contaian natural acids that when the soil is wet all the time root rot occurs.
Just like when I was a kid, we would place dead animals in the ground cover with dirt. Then 2-4 weeks later we would dig them up and have only bones and some fur! Let the soil dry out some before watering. Once a day should be ok, but may need to water every other day.

4. Rookwool Cubes ~ Like Widow said!

i can see it just fine, that rockwool is horrible its all tore up and shit theres no protection for the roots. it looks like that green stuff is algea. How long do you have your system running a day? when i was growing hydroponically my plant started looking the same way and it was because i had the system running to long and i was overwatering my plant.

it looks like its grown into and on the rockwool so i dont know how to get rid of it without harming the plants more then they already are.

if i were you i would move all the plants to soil and let them finish and just start over hydroponically with new rockwool cubes and set the system to run at least 3 times a day for about 30 minutes.
