Hey guys, hope your holidays are going well. Mine are plagued with frustration thanks to my first attempt at DWC. I transferred these 2 girls into my tub 24 hours ago. The PH is 6.2, the temp is fine, but I dont have a PPM meter, so I am sorta wingin it with nutes. Figured FoxFarm GrowBig would be simple enough, it's worked well in my potted plants. Look at these and tell me whats going wrong PLEASE! Oh yeah, are these 11" square net pots overkill or what? Your advice is appreciated like none other! I have the water flowing, not trickling. Too much? i have 6 airstones in there!! Plenty of O2!!

I thought foxfarm grow big was for use with soil plants. The problem I see looks like a minor ph fluctuation, but unsure. I think you might want to get hydroponic nutes. A good rule of thumb is to start at 75% of full strength and work your way up. While you are at it you might want to get the circular incerts for five gallon pots. It won't cost you that much more, and it will be a much more solid set up.

Props to skoobie...some numbskull at my dispensary suggested I use lemons to drop my PH, it only works temporarily. Went to the grow store and bought a bottle of PH DOWN, all is well.
