Hello everyone , I need some opinions here . I just scrapped a 24 plant run due to root rot in my ebb and flow system . Completely broke everything down and changed Mylar , new 24 site system (have two 24 site rooms ) bought a water chiller for reservoir as well as innovative solutions air and surface cleaner . All new genetics as well . So to cut down cycle time I veg in one gallon buckets dwc w air stones and then move them to the main room. I run advanced nutrients sensi recipe and res is at 500ppm right now because on average that’s what each dwc pot was at . I’m feeding 6 times a day only when lights on. Lights are at 45% until they adapt to transplant . Today is day 5 on transplant. Temp is between 70-77 humidity 40-50%. Starting to notice some light green leaves , purple areas and a little spotting . I suck air from that room into veg room and it’s doing well . Same water and nutes. Only difference is veg room water run through a whole house filter and res comes from well directly. I can’t imagine that’s the issue though as I haven’t had an issue in the past. 7F12BBF7-920B-4B5F-8B21-B12A8233DC28.jpegDBA55B4C-1340-42BD-83EB-C2500DC46534.jpeg835DE9EF-1FE0-4A13-88C7-E3D63DF9FB2E.jpeg44AAD795-742F-466F-841E-A98FF46124BB.jpegCABCA2B1-5871-47A4-A177-C08915F589E5.jpegC53E204B-AF69-471F-B1C9-04F3758D6870.jpeg

I think your starving them at 500 ppm. I'm at more like 700 730 in dwc.

500 was probably enought till the plant started to seriously produce leaves, now it's not enough, everything is in short supply and high demand

I'm frequently impressed by the beauty, complexity, and financial investment of many grow room setups. However, I'm equally dismayed by the frequency of disastrous results that occur early on. I'm puzzled why people don't start with smaller setups before expanding to larger ones. I don't mean to criticize anyone in particular, but I have observed this as a common occurrence

Ph stays at 6.0 no issues for last couple years only last run and slight signs now . I have a res change due for tomorrow and was going to increase ppm a bit along with calmag. As far as disastrous results goes I’ve only had one run in two years with an issue . Started with small set up’s and said if I have the lights on and am paying a bill , why not fill the room . Also trying to obtain micro license and want to hit the ground running as much as possible .last run pics 3403BB68-6F0C-42C4-A425-79FFBA4571C4.jpeg

The joy of growing I guess is the constant challenges that can pop up. Good luck with figuring out what your current issue is.
