    Emergency Help

    A ph meter is probably the most important bit of kit you can have, after your lights ofcourse. your water can be a perfect 7 ph but once you add nutes it might drop to 5.5 which for soil would be way to low, even get a cheap liquid test kit for a couple of pounds to check it, grow shop or pet...

    what would you do?

    I was thinking about making some kind of rack for them individualy but again thought it might be a bit of a pain moving them around so often to change out the res or even just topping of and checking ph. how many times did you top the plant in the second pic? thanks

    ???? leaf just turned brown in a few hours? any ideas?

    seemed more like a greyish color and had a lint like appearance? I did a few grows about 4 years ago in NFT using ionic, never had any problems with any of them, seem to have had a couple already with this one in only a few weeks :/

    ???? leaf just turned brown in a few hours? any ideas?

    well I went in and changed out the res in the affected plant. once I got the bucket out there appeared to be some kind of sediment of something laying in the water. certainly nothing I put in there, so I washed out the bucket with a very mild bleach solution and refilled her with a total ppm of...

    possible nute burn?

    il give that a try thanks, the ppm of my water straight out the tap is about 280. I was told that when adding nutes that you consider that as zero and deduct it from you ppm once you add the nutes to get the true ppm, is this correct because if not my nutes are currently sitting at 780 thanks.
