I just put these babies in the Stealth bubbleponics. They looked fine, but now they are yellowing. I used Fox Farm nutes 1/4 strength; I balanced the Ph after adding nutes.
The instructions on the Stealth say to leave the water on all the time until the roots reach to the water in the reservoir, but these babies look overwatered. Should I water them 3-4 times a day?
New grower, so THANKS for any help!!

They look fine to me. If you have noticed them getting a lighter green it could be that's just because they are growing fast. Most new growth is a lighter shade of green. Or you could always load the tub up with nitrogen and over nute them.

They are not clones - sprouted from seeds. They just look so yellow! and the few yellow spots. I'm still not sure if I should be watering constantly.

After the yellow spots come, I checked the Ph, and it was way too high! Apparently lighting, heat, etc, conditions affect the Ph. I adjusted it, and will now just keep checking it often...
Thanks for your helps!!

Hey JamieO,

I am a new grower also and ran into the same issue you are having about 2 weeks ago. I was spraying my plants every day, and stopped doing that because they were getting enough water from the hydro system. I also dropped the nute ppm to around 845 and the spots cleared up rather quickly. I found out the hard way that the nutes are really strong and you shgould be more conservative to keep from burning the plants. I am facing a deficiency problem now. I guess it's just getting used to the brand/type of hydro nutes you are using. I am using Ionic Grow because that is what I had left over from my regular hydro garden. I found that keeping my nute ppm to around 800 ppm doesn't work for my plants as they are not getting enough nutes. I was thinking about changing nutes or supplementing nitrate during the veg stage. All I know is that it can be frustrating when everything else is going great and then BAM, something happens. Good luck and hope your plants reward your hard work.

I had family staying in the room where the closet is located. Well, this morning my sister told me the light never went out! I checked the timers again. They were set at the right times. After some messing with them, I figured out they have only been going off for a few minutes, then coming back on!! The timer is weird - ALL the knobs have to be pulled up. My babies havent' had a nap for 10 days! No wonder they are not happy!
Who knew a stupid $7 timer could be smarter than I? I shouldn't smoke AND grow...
