Hopefully these plants will be salvageable! They are about a week and a half old. I noticed the first 2 days they grew alot and stayed nice and green. Then all of a sudden they started getting worse each day. I am using the general hydro nutrients and following their feeding schedule to the T. I know I kind of overwatered them at first, but now I have them in a bubbleponics system. I have been keeping an eye on the ph and kept it as close to 6 as possible. Any help would be awesome, thank you in advance so much!

for starters you have a clear resivoir, light can get in which isnt good for the roots and can make algae grow. also a ph of 6 is for soil, you should be 5.2-5.8 for hydro. looks almost like a nute burn, what strength did you mix your nutes at? hope they get better!

I actually wrapped it in black tape right after I posted my concern. I went ahead and put fresh water in with nutrients. I found out I was a little on the high end as far as nutrients and ph goes. Hopefully this does the trick! Thanks for the advice.

Also, should I noticed results in the morning if they start to get a little better? or will this take a few days to start noticing any type of improvement? Thanks again
