I have been diligently reading this thread from page one. I'm now on page 225 and have made and followed Stinkbuds system.
Plants have been in Veg unit for 3 weeks and my light for Flower unit arrives in a few days. Two days ago I noticed the PPM for my reservoir was a lowly 900PPM. I went ahead and upped the total to around 1800PPM. Next day my plants looked like this :
I was presuming the wilting was caused because of a sudden change in PPM level. I had checked pump and sprayers and all fine there so I went and diluted the reservoir by taking out water and replacing it with no added PPM water to bring the total PPM in the res down to 500PPM.
I then left this over another night running at 4min on 1min off. I woke this morning hoping to see the plants back to normal but once again they have wilted worse.
Do I have a chance to save them or is my whole veg chamber doomed.
They look exactly like your timer is not set right. It looks like either your pump or timer is bad.
If you lift a plant out does water come spraying out? If not, then something is wrong with the water delivery.
Did you bump the dials on your timer?
Check for leaks where the PVC pipe connects to the pump. The plastic connection can crack and leak water. You won't see it because it's underwater! You have to take it apart to check it.
Is your PPM meter calibrated? Are your water temps too high? Room temps?
Drain your res and start from scratch. Calibrate your meter and check all your temps.
The number one enemy of our grow ops is heat. Always check temps first.
