You could trans plant them into a good soil. Soil is much more forgiving, adds a buffer for your root system and is better suited for new growers.

I wish I could hep you with hydro but Mom won't let me take the training wheels off.

Moms are like that, yeah they are.

Yes, this is why I started soil too. This is also why I am trying to grow vegetables in hydro first to test out my chops. I may dwc sometime, just not on my first. me no good enough. You are getting there. I bet you have learned a ton in the recent weeks.

Yeah I find it weird that discolored one has been the biggest since the beginning....And early on has been discolored...other than that healthy as a horse....and theres another one in there thats the same strain....

I would definitely suggest topping them... they will have to veg a bit longer,but your yield benefit on more node locations is a great benefit for th time cost. Just topped mine and it's blowing up dense. What's cool is your look even better than mine. Those plants are going to be nice.

My thoughts right now though my big kush Id love to top and clone but its always been discolored the healthiest though....and the other big one is an auto(with no signs of autoing lol) time to research and get to chopping...now that they are bigger I think i am going to move them back into there own DWC tubs

hi everyone, been looking thru this grow.. ive done a few dwc and just about to start I think my 5th.. anyway ive run into some of the same problems you have in the past. What i noticed in the beginning of your grow is that you got that your babies in that wool cube thingy (cant remember the name of them now) anyway the point is i noticed that if you use the hydo rocks, stick to just the rocks. Ive moved clones from those dirt pucks and put them right into the rocks with the puck still holding the the root ball. Not good, im sure if you read up on it you'll see this causes root rot (browning of the roots) so damn easy. The cube isnt suppose to be wet alll the time since it will hold water, mold is easy to accumulate. Im thinking this is why your plants seem to be on this up and down rollercoaster the plant is fighting the roots getting rotted.

Also, I would say regulate your water temperature, keep it chilled, the warm water is not only retaining less oxygen in the water but the warm humidity coming from the mist your dwc system is making under the top of the container.. this space where your roots are coming out of the rocks but havent made it to the water yet are sitting in that warm misty humid area and getting rotted also you can see this by the top of the roots are brown and not so much the bottom portion.. As of now theres not much you can do but ride it out and keep the water cooler but change the temp progressivly any sudden change is going to stress your babies and possibly put them into even more jeopardy =..( anyway do some reading on this stuff and tweek your dwc its the way to go if you can get good at it..gl ill keep watching the progress
