I just transplanted then into my ebb and flow I also just started to use new lights. Spider farmer SF2000 LED Grow Light. This is the worst plant but others are starting to do it to

looks to me like start of nutrient burn. Tips are starting to curl as well as tips browning. How many ppm is your reservoir?

Is your hydroton new? Sometimes the hydroton can mess up your ph some people soak it and some don’t. It looks like you have some salt buildup on the hydroton maybe you fed to much. That’s all I see

Ya i was wondering about the salt on the clay so do u recommend the straight water for a few days or should I just use a much lower ppm mixture

The clay is new but i flooded the table 5 times before putting in the new water with nutrients

So what would I do to fix it just wait it out?

yes, they will get better in 5 days or so as long as everything is in check which is sounds like it is. I would recommend 5.5 to 6 for your range. set it low and let it drift up before switching out or adjusting.

I find it weird that I didn't really have this problem before transplant and now it is starting on about 5 of the 17 plants. They have been in the table for about 6 days

I think there is always going to be transplant shock, just sometimes it is so minor you don't notice it. I usually see mine take a few hours to perk up after transplant, but I still call that shock. Once the roots adjust they will take up the nutrients better and you'll be fine.

So tomorrow it will be 7 days and I will need to change rez. Should I bring ppm down to 400? Also this is the feeding chart I am using . I don't use the floral blend the seaweed or the rapid start. But I do use a growth enhancer which is 11-0-0 . Also use hydrozome

Don't go chasing waterfalls.

Or rather don't go chasing problems growing weed. Everything takes time and any adjustment you make before you see the results makes any observations useless.

There is a cult of "less is more" on pot boards. They will tell you they never go above 600 their whole grow. I personally have never feed any plant 400 on purpose. Even plants at your size that are from clones can handle 600 fine if they are healthy and environment is correct. You could try flushing out the medium if you used it straight from the bag, I always washed my hydroton. But you can take your readings from your Rez all day long. If your Rez is happy and you are within range just trust your plants to kick in after a few more days. Of course always and I mean always try all the things you need to. Adjust your pH meter, I like to have 2 to check to be honest. But other than pH pen being bad, and I think your pH is a little high I recommend top at 6, then I think you'll see them improving soon.

That does look weird. I'd second re-calibrating your meters... As for less is more.. it's always best to start out weak until your plants tell you otherwise. You can fix def far easier than tox.. well no.. that's not true, you can fix them both easily, but the tox will do more dmg. That said, I'm currently running my flower room res at 1200 :roll:

How often are you feeding them? What were they in before you potted them up? Did they just come straight out of a humidity dome into the open air?

The one in the background actually looks deficient but if they are in shock from a change in temp and humidity, that might explain it. The potting on itself shouldn't cause them such pain.

Looking at the other pics, it kinda looks like Mag def. Check those meters, make sure you're not running low.

My ph meter is a blue lab and gets calibrated once a week. They were is rockwool cubes some were transplanted into bigger pots with rockwool cubes (in picture from when I was planting them a week ago) before I had my table set up. The smaller clones sat out of the dome and dried out before being transplanted into table. They get watered 5 times a day for 6 mins
