Habe to submerge your roots safely you need airators in your system (you know the kind they use for fish tanks) you dont have enough oxygen in your water...the browning is probably root rot, Bozo were both trying to help him out, and i can tell you 100% sure im not wrong and his plant will come back just watch....I unlike some have done my fair share of reading, Have a good day

Hello everybody.

I have tried growing in bubble bucket for some time now, and always my clones reach the same stage and start dying. New leaves start turning yellow/white, and the growth is very slow.

The system is 10 litres bucket, clone is in the rockwool, 5 litres water in the bucket, where i put 3ml of Flora Micro, 3ml Grow, and 3ml bloom. 250w hps, and the temperature is 78 F.

The root growth is very slow, only this one long root coming out of the netpot, water level is little below the netpot. Clones have been in the bucket for 11 days now, not sure what is the normal growth speed in hydro.

PH goes to green, where i lower it back to yellow. I check it once a day. I dont own digital PH tester.

I like this hobby very much, but always this same problem comes to haunt me.

Here are few pics, if it helps to solve the problem.

What are the N-P-K's of your three part nute's ? 3ml. each seams strong for such young girls.
What ph range is yellow and the green.
Flush with the correct ph water, and when you do feed, cut back to 1/4 the nute's and see how they like it. increase your nute's as to the girls likens. Try some store bought water to see how the girls like it, that should tell you where you'll go next. Break off a piece of your water and have it tested. I find a good ph tester saves alot of guess work in hydro.
Best of luck.

Hello. And thank you for replying so fast. The temperature is not the res temp, its the growing closet temperature. I think the brown roots is the BioGrow staining the roots.

The res temp is around 71 F. The bucket is 2.6 gallon, and there is water 1.3 gallon in the bucket. I use 3ml/BioGrow, 3ml/BioBloom and 3ml/BioFlora for the 1.3 gallon of water. In the BioGrow bottle, it says it's for soft water, do i have to worry about that because my tap water is PH8.

The water level was only 0.6 inch from the bottom of the netpot, i set it now that it is 2 inch below. How fast should i see the difference, if that helps. This is my first time on hydro, so i don't know what is the normal root growth speed.

I set the PH yellow 12 hours ago, and now it's bright green. Should i lower it back to yellow, or let it be there for a while before setting it back. PH from my tap water is pretty hard water, it's around 8. I'm going to get digital PH tester, for now i have to make it with the colour scale.

I'm confused with the nutes, is that the righ amount what i'm giving to them, or should i put new water and nutes in.

Way too many nutes get a ph meter and ppm meter otherwise grow in soil
