Yes, rw drains very well and holds a ton of oxygen. As top feed water runs through it, it drags oxygen in along with it. I have two air stones plus a dedicated pump that just sits in the reservoir circulating the water 24/7 (which helps add oxygen as well)There are things in those pics (especially the last one) that suggest over-watering to me, but seeing that you're in rockwool slabs with some sort of automated top feeding, I'm more inclined to think that your water might be under-aerated. I haven't grown in rockwool, so I'm just guessing, but my understanding is that it drains well and doesn't hold water too hard.
I'm starting to think I'm poisoning them with some bad nutes or a conflict perhaps. After I flush Sunday I'm going to reset with just 3 part GH nutes w/ no Orca, no Floralicious Plus, no Hydrogaurd and no Terpinator.
I never had any of this with my big plant, and I blasted her with constant feed, 1400 ppm nutes since she was 2 weeks old. The only difference is she didn't get the Floralicious Plus, Hydrogaurd or Terpinator. There shouldn't be any conflicts, but perhaps one of them is spoiled.
This is a proven system that has produced 1,000's of pounds of buds, hundreds by me personally and never had anything like this.
I really need to figure this out as it's now spreading to more plants.
Thank you for your input
