Healthy plants discolored and wilted

[whatsadank]

Hey! So I am getting the plants back to health it looks like. Starting to look a lot better. Especially the Flo (my favorite strain so I'm happy to see it surviving!) Anyway.. I am still having 1 lingering problem... on two of the plants (master mush and blue dream) thereally are a few very strangely discolored leaves. Pics attached!! Ph 5.80 stable. Temp 19.8 Celsius. Plenty of air circulation.

I currently have a hydrofarm 20 watt air pump and an El cheapo 3.5 watt air pump feeding oxygen to the totes. And my totes are 22 gallon capacity filled to about 15 gallons. I'm slightly under the 1 watt per gallon. Is this a huge concern? I'm planning on putting a larger one in there in the next few days though

Well I think I may have fucked up. My roots were getting tangled on the air lines going to the bubblers... I lifted a net pot up and tore the roots off. (the roots were rather pathetic as is..) currently 1 of the 3 plants has dangling roots. The other 2 have a ton of tiny ones barely poking out of the netpot.

Is it worth trying to limp these fuckers along or should I restart from seed?

Who'd have thought my first grow would be such a train wreck...

well the new growth looks better. I am not going to be presumptuous without seeing a pic, lets see these roots. if they are growing let them grow.

Here's a pic of each plants roots. The buildup on one of the roots is from the heisenberg tea I added (I assume so at least) - it has no bad smel.

well I must say the roots don't look good. I you plan on limping these along or starting again more air is a good idea so do it anyway. You are not the only person to have a bad first grow. I would never have suggested hydro for your first grow, soil is much more forgiving. Have you got your ppm's down and what is the PH in the res.

The ph is stable at 5.80 - I dropped the ppm from 950 or so to 700. Will see what happens In the next few days.

good news! Plants look like they are rebounding. Root growth has resumed. Gotta say - thanks a bunch guys! You guys clearly know your shit!
