Please Help. 2nd Hydro Run

[Father Earth]

Increase your lights. How many watts you think you using atm? Bump your ppm up to 500-650. Really the only thing I can think of. What's your tap ppm? Have you double checked your ph pen calibration.

All of these bitches are sick

Have you checked for mites with a scope?

 

[myke]

Yes i have it. But honestly I stopped because i didn’t think it was root rot. I have brand new clones that were transplanted after and doing the exact same thing

H202 is the preventive,1-2 ml/gallon.

my lights are the 480w Migro Array
And are at about 40% right now
Ppm is around 350
Tap ppm is 80-90
And i have some calibration solution in the mail

No I haven’t but i will take a look

 

[myke]

So your clones look like this when you get them?

No, they looked healthy when I got them. They were rooting through the rockwool, lush, and green.
I’m not sure what I’m doing incorrectly. Maybe putting them too deep into the netpot? And rockwool is too wet

Bump your food up if yeah haven't already,I put about an inch of clay pebbles in the net pot,then clone and back fill.

What's your room size? When is your ph solution coming? How far is your lighting?

I think you've been fighting an uphill battle. As long as you've got a root breaking out the bottom of the net pot it'll eat. If I had to guess, I would say your nutes aren't adequate at this stage or Jacks is missing something. They look as if they are starving. Your environment, and your lighting don't seem to be an issue.

Started the grow on Sept 9th from seed, started out with General Organics switched to H&G
October 13th. The foam became an issue, and growth slowed significantly. For 2 weeks they looked like the 4th pic, the 3rd photo shows the sludge/foam. The first 2 pics are when I switched nutes. This isn't similar to your circumstances but to give you peace of mind my foam diminished and my plants took well to the nute change. I hear good things about Jacks so I'm curious to find out what solutions you come up with before they shrivel up and die on ya.

I've run DWC for years and have never checked my PPM's....

Is it really that important? Especially on smaller grows?

My plants always seem to do great so I always figure why mess with it?

4x4 tent.
pH calibration solution should be here Friday. Lighting is about 8-10 inches away from plants. Migro’s site recommends about 6 inches

how long are the roots when you get those clones?

rockwool sucks IMO. too wet or too dry and you get problems

 

[rkymtnman]

and like i said before, unless those green airlines are 100% lightproof, they ain't helping the situation

First off sorry about the issue that you are having right now a lot of good information here to be sure my only thing that I can add would be read and then read some more and I'm not saying that this particular book will work for you but I sure that there is one that will and the best of luck to you with all of your endeavor be looking forward to seeing what you do next

Hth poolshock basic is fine at .01 grams per gallon. Its actually a tertiary nutrient that won't affect your plant unless you over do it.

Could it be hplvd??

Here’s a little more background info

the last run started in September.
I bought 2 clones from PinkBox and they sent two freebies.
It was my first hydro run so I grew out all 4.
2 were growing really slow and stunted
So i removed them during flowering stretch.

about 4-5 weeks into flower, the 3rd cut began to wilt and buds shriveled up and the plant died.
This happened really fast. Maybe 48-72 hours.

It could’ve very well been root rot from having water level a little too high (right at basket level)

I also assume this because, about 10-12 days before i wanted to harvest the last surviving plant it started to do the exact same thing.

I squeezed one of the buds that was rock-solid to the touch just a day before and it was like squeezing a cotton ball. I immediately cut the entire plant down and started drying buds.

Of course, I bleached down the entire system and my tent and ran bleach, drained, repeat, etc before this 2nd round.

However, the plant in the front-right is a clone that i took of that last surviving plant (when it was healthy obviously)

idk. Just a thought. Trying to give everyone the full picture so i can get informed answers

For fun, Here’s some pics about a week before emergency harvest and the dried buds. Really liking these grove bags by the way. Strain is terple17
