Just starting hydroponics, help please

[gotmsm1]

I've set up my growing units but having a problem with my plants drying up and dying on me. Some of the plants are pale and just aren't growing at all. I just drained off 75% of nutrient solution and currently running with only water for the most part. I've been using the "Flora grow". Any suggestions?

I use 3 ml/gallon of that stuff in tap water. You should verify your PH too.

Flora Grow, thats one part of a 3 part setup. You need to use the micro and bloom bottles as well. If using RO water you will also want calimagic. pH is critical with hydro.

Somehow I was thinking he meant floranova. If it is only Flora Series Grow then that won't work well at all.

Pics of the plants and your setup will also help with diagnosis.

I think part of the problem is too much water going through the vertical set up. Is there something I can buy that will help adjust the flow rate or do I need to buy a submersible pump with adjustable flow rate.

It would be much more helpful to answer the previous questions asked before you move on to more questions.
You may think you know, but more experienced growers that are trying to help you DO know.
