you said your water level was 2-3 inches blow the net pot? i tend to leave mine around in the middle of the netted pot. i figure the roots are going to sit in the water why not the basket?

First make sure your rockwool is not soaked. Also recheck your PH if it is in the 5.6 range try raiseing it to 5.8 to 6.0.. We are finding some strains having issues with too much water in the rockwool . The rockwool may look real wet to the eye / Lower the flow to the feed lines if you are using them . What nutes are you useing / make sure you are useing the dose for seedlings or clones .. I use GH and follow this chart

The way your doing it should work? Raise water level but don't soak rockwool I had some plant that got brown spots and the leaves turned yellow, from the inside out of the plant not the outside in. and i found out that it was manganese diff so i had to up my nutes a lot and everything turned out good.

wow, for ten gallons and over water signs only one person has asked how big is yur pump. The sad thing is I expected that. I never hear pump sizes. Only airstone amount. Cheer up tho, almost every time it is big enuf! However for ten gallons I would want at least a 6 watt air pump. The rule is one watt of air pump power to one gallon of water. Everyone allways tells yu some bull about airstones. IDK, but make sure yur pump is big enuf. A 6 might do it, but for optimmun yu want a 10 watt or two fives. That looks like over water or under or nute. Make sure yur roots are in water or at least they could make it in their in a day and yu water them with a cup or so until then.


What is yer pump size? In watts, It shud say in the back.



Usually it all pikcs up in a week if yur nute levels are low enuf.
