i noticed you are using 7-9-5, its seems to be working, but beware, your P needs to be lower. a higher P than N is useful for flowering more than veg. other than that I believe your plants are healthy and strong at this stage. lets see what other have to say, because im about to get on my nutes in 10 days.

Well guys... this is my problem at hand. I changed the water yesterday (on the fly) and this is what i found... Is she a gonner? I am not sure if this is from nutes or from a really wrong water temp during the water change.. Any suggestions?

You might be right about that.. Sucks man.. I was hoping it would run as smooth as my last grow...

wow, change the water in that rez, just put straight 5.8 to 6.0 ph water in there and leave it alone till it starts to grow normally again, did u look into getting the ppm meter yet. As you can see it is a valuable tool in diagnosing things like what you are experiencing.

Def getting a ppm meter man. I think it will be quicker to start over. About to start a new journal. Ill paste the link in here as soon as I do. I might keep around to see what happens.

damn, sorry about that man. yeah im going to get a ppm meter when i start using my nutes here in about 8 more days (letting my stragglers catch up). i think it may be safe to start over so glad youre doing that. yeah your stems went red and your leafs show true nute burns. make sure on this new go round that your ppm is 300 for the early vegging stage your water may have its own ppm, calculate that first, then add nutrients and subtract water's ppm to know how much nutes u are using. then balance your pH to 6.0 last (as nutes alter that as well).
