Well your tap water has a decent PH, but who knows what the PPM is... If it's over 200, you should really think about using RO water. Tap water also has flouride and other crap in it which can kill your plants. You should let your tap water sit for 24 hours before putting it in your res (just fill up a couple buckets or whatever). The 24 hours will be enough time for the nasty chemicals to evaporate naturally, stir the water a couple times during the day as well.

And a cheap alternative to RO machines are these Mr. Clean Car Wash Sprayers: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=86050&catid=110969&aid=337953&aparam=mr_clean_autodry_car_wa&CAWELAID=67562922

For about 20 bucks at wallmart, they are awsome RO filters. Took my horrible SoCal Tap water from 650 PPM to like 15 ppm! Replacment filters are only like 4 bucks too, and they last a good while.

Her problem is # 1 not having a ppm meter. # 2 putting all kinds of things in the water that are supposed to supplement all kinds of things...I say its all shit and to be perfectly honest id love to hook up with a manufacturer and sling my own voodoo juice cuz thats what it all comes down too.. Net just hit up a few of the seasoned growers.. Im sorry u spent all that money on magical potions when u could have gotten urself more cheapy hps lights that would have been alot better for ur grow..
I hope u did a res change and are sticking to low dosage back bone nuts net.. Add 2 tablespoons of peroxide to the water and in a week the roots should be fine if not follow previuos advice of flush again and do the same thing.
The guys growing insane jungles are usually doing it with very lil supplements if not any...
Hope this helps..

Thank you very much Dl. As always you ease my mind and give me ideas. I did the res change last night with only ph'ed water and h2o2. Tonight will res change again with 1/2 nutes and h2o2. I have good feelings about this!

Thanks to all of you for the help! Gotta love rollitup!

they were blown away by the stuff I knew about growing before I even started! RIU RIU RIU!

leggo i have a 37 year old book that was passed down to me from my pops. Its an awesome book indeed and gives alot of the foundation alot of the pros use except the fact that most of the scientific stuff is outdated like lighting..Supplements and such...I also love riu..Cuz i get to actually see first hand what works and what doesnt and i get to ask the growers themselves what works as well..
RIU is awesome for many reasons. So are the growers here that just pass this simple info down on us like candy..
THanks riu once again..
This shit is too simple.. Keep it simple people..

I hope so! This is a lot of hard work. Well not really but still time consuming. I have had a blast growing this! I hope it turns out great!

looking great Net!I think you are going to have some nice smoke there... It is a lot of fun growing..but yes time consuming at times..plus I imagine growing hydroponically is even more time consuming than soil..so what do you have left..couple weeks?....looks like your plants are sativa dominant...so you might have to flower them a lil longer..but I guess the trich's will tell...are they still clear?

Roots are looking better! There was some small parts falling off of them though!!! I am not worried (yet!) Things are going great for them!
