To make a long story short I didn't know what I was doing and I should have been using this site from the beginning but I didn't, so now my plants are almost dead. I started my grow with some pretty good bagseeds I have found. I put them in an ebb and flow with rubbermaid buckets and hydroton rocks in small pots using a 400w HPS. Being a soil grower I figured my plants needed nutes, and this is where I f**ked up
I gave my seedlings a full amount of nutes their whole first week in the system with a PH around 5. After the plants started dying and then I found this site (and some knowledge) and flushed my res changing their nute water to R.O. water without nutes. I have had the new water in there for a little under a week and the PH started at 6.5 and is now at 6. My plants have suffered badly and the first sets of leaves are either yellow and burnt or shriveling up. New sets of leaves have started growing and I know I can not save the sets that have been burnt but do you think if I just start the nute cycle over and start with 1/4 the amount of nutes in a couple weeks that these plants will be fine? Also this room stays between 70 and 80 degrees and the only medium Im using is hydroton rocks which doesn't absorb water that great so I am flooding for 15 mins every 1 1/2 hours. Is that too often?
Any feedback helps Im just trying to save my only good seedlings Thanks
