I agree its def nute burn. I would give them plain water for more than a day . There can be nutes attached to the roots, and it will take more than a day to clear off. Next time go a little lighter on the nutes, and gragualy increase dosage. It sucks sometimes to figure out strain to strain, what they can take. It takes a few screw ups. I got my fair share.

they are called tough boxes, i believe rubber made makes them like $45 each, and best plastics makes them for $11 each, not as thick as the brand ones but very very good, the lid is too light and thin, will have to insulate the lid atleast, but very nice, i use them right now, when you go aero DIY you wind up with every size and brand of tub, rubbermad is best though, no need for silicone or anything, they never leak

keep on with 1/4 strenght, at some point if ever the plants will look a little pale, thats when you up the nutes, let the plant dicatate to you how much to feed, also i dont know what the inside of your rez looks like but you can install a pump attatched to a pvc with a ball valve, so when you need to change it out just turn on the pump and open valve. im gonna go into my RIU and post a link to a grow who has his tubs setup like this

check out this grow https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/191702-aeroponic-tub-setup-1000w.html
you will see he uses the tough boxes, and his pump is attatched to his sprayer manifold, from the manifold he branched out a piece of PVC to a ball valve for easy drainage. he doesnt have any pix on how he built it, but you can use the filthy fletch method, this grow is a sick yielder too and he i dont believe had much experience with aero

was it completly bone dry? do the roots look like they have some life? you know how many times i left off a pump and had them falling over? let them drink, you have an air pump in your rez right?, fill the tub as high as you can with water and let em bubble

i bought a new pump and im heading out to put it in tonight, the roots didnt feel totally dry but the res was bone dry, my water is brown as hell but ill put fresh in when i install the pump tonight, i hate to even move em now but i have to do a res clean and change, im going to put em in water and h2o while i clean, i was going to use just water and hygrozyme,what do you think? what about the light schedule? should i stay on 24/7 till they mend? All but one main stems have collapsed and there pretty beat up.

man i just did a res change and they are not looking good, they dont seem to be responding to the water as well as i hoped, i have to prop them up on the sides of my cab to keep them upright. i cleaned my system and installed the new pump so my sprayers work again and put in new air stones, ill get a refill on my co2 in the morning when the welding store opens. not only am i dealing with this but im out of smoke and things are dry here, when it rains it pours

i just installed my co2 controller and a fresh bottle of co2, the stems and branches are starting to firm up a little but they look pretty hammered, lots of broken ones and a ton of leave damage, i would let them veg until they healed up all the way but i dont have the room to veg that long, im going to go back to 12/12 probably much to soon, i think my cab is a ferrari and im beginner driver.
