i'm not sure why they turned south. just a long stream of bad mistakes. plants react immediately in hydroponics. it all started with a little nute burn and ran away from there. the water here is really hard at almost 500 PPM, so that probably doesn't help. all in all, i needed a buffer, which soil is. so, the next grow is soil. to hell with hydro, it's waaaay too much work for me. i'm a lazy stoner

so grow soil and send me the dwc system. I have spring water so no probs there. or if u send me the money ill send u some good water.lol
i have a soil grow going on sog prepetual style harvest. but the mother plant for the whole flowering room is on a dwc system. I am working on setting up a homemade aero system for the mother......... I got the misters and a 500gph pump but i need to get some pvc to connect it all.

aye, but it's less work to flush them. also takes longer for it to set in, so you have more time to react before it becomes a problem. also helps with my shitty water a tad, but i have a plan. i'm moving to where the water doesn't suck as bad.

but once things start going south it's takes longer to fix. but as for the water....damn 500ppm....damn. i always use RO water which is usually around 20 ppm.

why not yank them up and put them in soil NOW? is that just a ridiculous question

because that really would kill them. going from hydro to soil is a huuuge shock.

A little water goes a long way...take care of those girls
and check that sytem often. I've experienced the same
thing with aero type set-ups; they require a lot of
maintenence...sometimes they can be a pain in the ass.

that's an understatement. my Ph shot up almost a full point in 24 hours. my guess is that the shock in Ph changes severely affected them. i was out of Ph down for over a week waiting for it to get here, which caused the Ph to go a lot higher than i wanted to. guess they had just become accustomed to it or something :/

your water at 500 ppm is your problem my freind had the same problem once he switched to ro he started bumping / soil is great but nothing is faster than hydro
