If i was you ski's i would make up a batch of mollasses with your nutrient water and give them a feed. That should right any wrong. Also make sure your ph is between 5.6 - 6.0.

But in that case what good products to get in Aus that are good for zinc?

bullshit mate believe me, dont add anything to ur mix, its not a defficiency cos ur nutes contain everything u need.. ur not growing in soil, no defficiencies with complete nutes..

how cold is it getting at lights off, temps getting too cold can cause the tops to yellow,.. overwatering also causes yellowing.

i wrote this post down below,.. sorta give u a better idea of wot im saying.. if u need any further help then get back to me with ur ph, temps, ppm, water sched etc

Deficiency Noobs!! READ FIRST.
i read soo many problems that all relate to the same thing!!

Which is nute lockout/deficiencies. Now any plant food worth its space on a hydro shelf will have everything your plant needs. So when u have these 'deficiencies' showing up, its rare that the plant is deficient of the nutrient, its that its not able to take it up properly..

Which is caused by: Over-feeding, thus causing lock-outs and Incorrect pH thus causing lock-outs and deficiencies

STOP overfeeding ur plants and trying to push them soo hard!

STOP lowering ur lights, i dont care if ur hand isnt burning under the light, be kind and just back it off

STOP adding adding adding when u have a problem, back off..and work backwards (see below)

So to conclude, if u got a problem, and ur too inexperienced to know wot it is:
*Flush
*Re-nute @ lower ppm with pH'd water
*back the lights off

Then when ur dialled in and ur plants are flying u can start to push them along ie; begin to lower the lights, begin upping nutes, squeeze ur nipples etc etc etc...

and PLEASE the time to read and understand the pH table, its quiet simple,.. it shows how ur pH must be right in order for the plant to take up the nute

Thing is i dont have ph meters, ec meters etc. The Temps are low though and im trying to fix that. They range form 10C- 18C. Ph of water is 5-6 as i mix some PH down in there and use some universal to get an orangy colour. EC no idea.

I only feed once every saturday because i didnt want to over do the nutes. I Just feed them till i get run off. This nromally lasts a week as the soil only JUST starts to dry out by the next week.

ok, so uve got overwatering problems if its taking a week for ur plants to just start drying out.. could u imagine the poor soggy cold roots inside those pots, u need to bring the temps up badly if u want ur plant to start actually using the water.. 10 degrees is WAY too low, will be affecting the plant and no doubt will affect yield

and as for not knowing ur pH, well how do u expect for ur plants to be able to take up the nutes?.. see the above diagram explains the importance of correct pH, ur plant simply CANNOT uptake certain nutrients at out of wack pH levels.. u can get by without EC cos u can measure mls etc.

put a heater in there and keep ur plants 20-25 degrees.

Yes heat is a main issue im trying to correct. As for ph im sure its in the 5-6 range. But overwatering wouldnt cause yellowing on only new growth would it?

Gooooooood morning!

kmoo you shouldve just gone to your hydro store, or better still Hydro Connections on Dorset rd. Danny works on Sundays and is a champ, and they make custom reflectors and Danny never charges full price lol.
