you know something isnt working and am very stoned and tired, but l dont think giving them 6.4 is bad advice if you want to save them. Or just stay in lockout. Yes dwc is 5.4 to 6 ph but if your plants are lowering ph below 5 then you have to feed for upper ranges and 6.4 is the lowest high sweet spot. Sorry if l didnt make myself clear enough. But lm not saying once problem resolves you cant lower again. Thats all l got, l just expierienced low ph issues and my plants look like yours l was just trying to help.

Sweet Candy 0-17-28
Sea-k kelp 0-0-15

Some people don't understand nutrient antagonism. Look at all that potassium. Excessive potassium can lock out N, and Ca. That's on top of what's in the MegaCrop and both versions are high in K as well. Either 9-6-17 or 5-12-26. Then there's also the fact that Sweet Candy is for use in soil and the sugar in it is just food for nasty crap in the reservoir.

Sweet Candy
  • Specialized for soil-type mediums that can benefit from organics and microbes.
The feeding regimen the OP is using is directly responsible for the condition of those plants.

So it's one part, but you seperated it, to create a totally messed up system. Looks like the V1 batche, like 2years old

Oh my goodness, in sorry to hear that

No wonder, with the other additives, your having issues

For sure we have a language barrier

I'd clean your rezz and system and start over
Just the Mega Crop and enzyme cleaner

Yes mix the Mega Crop back together otherwise the ratio is way off


Watch that you don't get settling in your rezz of the mega Crop, that version dosent dissolve well

I'd look for a better Nutrients system made for Hydro, Mega Crop isn't it

How are you filling your reservoir? As in mixing nutrients and then adjusting the pH? How often do you check and adjust the pH if needed? How long are you waiting before dumping and replenishing with fresh nutrient solution? If you're just topping off with fresh nutrient solution as the level gets lower you can end up with issues. Did you do any research about maintaining a hydro reservoir before you started?

I doubt this would cause the issue but I see that you're running Co2. Co2 can lower the pH of water.

NUTRIENT RESERVOIR:

Water levels need to be adequate for plant saturation levels, so take care to keep a minimum of 70% of total water volume needed. Simply topping off the reservoir every week with fresh nutrients and/or water can lead to an imbalance of nutrients available to the plant. Topping off the reservoir with a diluted concentration of the original feed can be an effective method for providing a constant supply of nutrients until the next full reservoir change. Weekly reservoir changes will prevent most problems from occurring.
