trouble in paradise

Yeah...looks serious. I do hydro with 5 gallon buckets and all I can suggest is that you definitely need to flush with totally ph balanced water...having said that I must tell you that your ph needs to be closer to 5 or 6 for hydro as well...7 is too high. What nutes are you using? and how much of them? As I said before dump out all the water in the bucket and add fresh...no H202....as for the H202 most hydro nutes say not to use with H202...so just having used the H202 might be your problem depending on your nutes...also look and make sure you don't have any fungus gnats or anything...if you see any flying critters near your plants chances are they are fungus gnats which don't cause problems themselves...it is their larvae that do that damage...they eat away your roots and can eventually eat into your stalks and stems...anyway check these things and do a flush straight away....if you need to ph adjust your water I would use vinegar to lower the ph as opposed to anything else for the time being.

alright soo from what ive ratered here today is im going to need to grap a bigger tote add new water ph adjusted to 6.5.. ohh an btw i havent been adding any nuts to it i kinda wanted to get everything down before introducing and thing im not familiar with yet

add some nutes @ half strength then phd @ 5.7 5.7 5.7 5.7 5.7... Check your ph after mixing the nutes because some lines auto adjust the ph for you. 7 is way too high imo. Try foliar feeding since the roots aren't working atm.

How long have they been in your dwc buckets?
how many plants do you have?
are they all doing this?
when did they start doing this?
what are your h2o temps?
are there any light leaks?
does the water look clear and clean to you?

Hope they work out for ya!

Oh wow man, very droopy, hope you find the cause...

I ran out of day light but I did get to move it to a 18 gallon tank from the 5 gallon bucket.. An I did add about half the nuts

Alright heres the story for whodatnation==>

About 4 days ago I had three about 3 ft plants the smallest one started to look sad. my first thought was root rot.. So i went to my local family dollar and got some peroxide 3% and sprayed the roots.. this didnt help much did how ever clean up the roots. next i went to my local grow shop and got some h202 added some to my res. Then later that day i hacked down my smallest. later the next day my second plant died off by the 3rd day my 3rd plant started to drop toward the end of its 12hours yes there all in flowering today was the fourth day I added my last plant to a bigger tote added half the nuts. put a few extra fans in the room btw all three are the same strian man im going back to dirt....

So they were growing fine in your system then just pooped out on you?
You can get explosive growth with dwc irish. Just gotta keep a few things in check thats all.
Oh one question tho... Are you using electronic/digital ballasts or magnetic?
What is your ph ppm and h2o temp?

My ballasts is just a plug and play 1000 watt switchable... but nvm mind now guys i woke up this morning and went to chech on her and she was crispy like arby fries.. tear... drip* drip * little whiskey for my homie** lol well time to start over


and the ph was still a little high for dw and the water temp was about bath water

how did they get so far along tho? Did you receive them @ 3ft tall?

Very sorry to hear irish lad

Looks like the PH was too high, should be 5.8 in DWC and also the rez water temp should be 19 ~ 20 celcius and if your airstones aren't really pumping air into the water that's cool enough to hold dissolved oxygen, your gonna get wilty dying / drowning plants. Root rot from a male that got chopped but roots were still in the rez will also toast your efforts. Root rot will make rez temps keep spinking and wild PH swings. If you have lockup, flush and refill with fresh nute water and add two drops per gallon H20 of Fox Farm Sledge Hammer which is absolutely fabulous for fixing lockout. It may be too late by the looks of your last pic. Sorry dude, I can feel your pain from here.

I Had them as clones under a 150 watt light later on after 5in tall i moved them to a 1000 watt light in 5 gallon buckets 2 months after the buckets they were 3ft 1, 3ft 3 and 3ft 5 the others only shorter because i topped them... Mostly water with B.C. Recipe for success every 2 weeks
