Looks like nute burn, you might flush the res before it cooks the other one, replace with pH balanced water only, should recover...
good luck

just put seed in the fiber cone provided, after taking out other seed provided. if you didn't purch.ase extra blanks, drop seed in point facing down the length of seed. soak starter cone in ph water until saturated before. then cover up with plastic dommer, turn system on veggie setting and wait. 48-maybe alittle longer i have had almost 90% gernination this way and no transplanting . try it Itake a nail and poke a small hole the entire length of the fiber cone so tap root can easily travel out bottom. be careful not to push seed down much more than its length good luck take your time and if you want any size to you plants only 1-2 per grow and desolve neuts in small jar first then add some everyother day. think of a baby can't eat whole foods at first, allitle at a time again take your time. great growing/ red rock ranger

Nice work Paul, Spider had it right on the nutes, give em at least a week then maybe half strength for a week or two. Are you using the packets or the tabs? You're watching them close, they will tell you what they need when they do have needs. On my grows I think part of the fun is how they recovered from my mistakes. Thats after the they recovered...ha ha

:peace::peace::peace:

I subd. Y ou had your head on right when you ordered you AG. When I got mine all i had was some bag seeds and the ag. no nutes, fig. 8 cord, hp up/down. I still dont have a ph kit and I havnt checked the ph on my ag ever. I use straight tap water from the sink and now I have Grow Big General Hydroponic nutes. Due to the lack of prep I did before I got the AG I think I have stunted their growth because I have 2 other plants in soil and they are almist twice as big as the one in the AG. Good luck man. I have a good feeling youll have a good time growing/smoking this.

Might be because of the AG nutes....I wouldn't give anything but H2O until roots are big enough to handle nutes...
