I messed up from the beginning, I know now after researching. I started my seeds in 1" rockwool cubes, moved em up into 3" cubes before the transplant. I didn't ph the water for the first 21 days, tapwater was 7.2 for the first 21 days. had em in a propogator with 2-24W cfl's 12 inches above them. I got nervous and transplanted them in coco at 21 days and put them in the big tent under 400W MH's for the first week in the tent. had ph set at 5.8-6.2 daily, nute levels at 550. Ramped up nutes after they were 30 days old to 950 ppm after I began to notice a big change in a few of my plants and I've tried mag/cal, and organic nitrogen (smelly fish powder) to no avail. now almost all my plants are wilting and I'm at a crossroads and need some immediate help please. I know I'm new to hydro, some of you are probably shaking your head, but I really need some help or a nudge in the right direction. Thanks in advance!! Oh, and ALL the roots look bright white and fuzzy, so I know it's not a root problem and I just emptied the 55 gallon drum, scrubbed the crap out of everything and readded nutes with more cal/mag and nitrogen.sick plant 1.jpgsick plant 3.jpg sick plant 4.jpg sick plant 1.jpg sick plant 2.jpg
