What nutrients are you using?
What airpump and stones also?
Let's see the roots again to compare
First DWC grow, does this plant look healthy?

General hydro flora micro bloom and grow. Light off in 9 minutes I have no time. I’m running two of the pumps in the picture. With two 4 inch disk air stones and 2 4 inch long cylindrical airstones.
everything I read says if ppm and ph dropping it means up the ppm, or acid rain effect

I’m also adding optimum hydroponix zenzyme, great white root inoculate, and Calimagic. My tap water is 130 out of tap I ppm to 190 with calimagic

Those are duel output 2 stone on each pump? nowhere near enough to adequately run those stones. Those stones need like 10LPM each
Ok well when you can. I'm think root issue, maybe bacterial bloom and the extra co2 created is not being off gassed fast enough blah blah blah but Lets wait and see once you can get pics

Yeah I have 2 pumps @480lph so a total of 4 stones between 2 pumps

About 6 gallons of water in my res at full

You will be better off teeing those outputs together and putting one stone on each. Its important to match the pump to the stones otherwise you get a stream of bubbles like a line and next to no surface agitation. If you tee it together and put one stone that will give you about 8lpm per stone and the do best about 10-12lpm to get effect use.

Ok this is my first grow of
Any type so I just followed a build of this res online and before it only called for one pump, I figured adding another would help. I’ll check out the roots tomorrow may do a res change for shits

Should I order one of these pricks

That would run those 4 stones perfectly. Also place the stones to get the most even surface agitation. That's where the gas exchange happens. It's not actually the bubbles that oxygenate the water it's the surface agitation they create

Honestly guys, this plant looks healthy to me. I ordered myself a new air pump, but since the switch to flower. We’ve grown about 4 inches since Monday. Ph is at 5.5 today from 5.6 yesterday, drinking a bit of water too. Ppm has dropped almost 100 in a day. I’m taking all my measurements from the far side of the reservoir. Yesterday ppm 913 today 766. I don’t want to increase ppm cause it already seems kinda high. Very tips of some leaves have the tiniest bit of yellow. But leaves look healthy and feel great. Should I try to raise ppm? I have very little room left to add water and I feel like just adding straight ph up is a no no

Nope imo you should prob drop it a bit. What your temp and humidity in there like?

This is what I’m following. I’m doing the transition stage. But adding enzyme, great white , and calmag. 75.6 degrees and 51 humidity. I have the hps and two led in there now at more than 20 inches

Looks good but you have to take into account the variables of the grow. With a good VPD you may get away with it but even then I think it's high. I would mix same ratios then dilute the ppm down. I can't see more than 700ppm and probably 600-650ppm would be about right.
With your conditions your gonna have them drinking a bit more. I think the lights are to close at this point I may try about 28-32" they are showing some heat/light stress.
Sorry I'm a bit lazy today to try and read back. 18/6 light?
How many watts hps and led?

This is my plants I'm pushing a bit hard now in flower with light. See the V shape to the leaves and the edges spiking a bit. I believe mag can contribute to that also. That's light stress and if I pushed a bit harder they will fold more and start bleaching. Humidity plays a bit of a role in this.

Same ratios? Do you just mean add 5 gallon solution to 6 gallon of water? And try to dial the ppm back? I have two 5 gallon buckets dechlorinating right now
So I should be able to change my res tomorrow. If I move my 3 lights to the top of my tent which is 6.5 feet would that be better.? I have two of the led pictured(240 actual watts) and a 600 hps with adjustable ballast. I’m on 12/12 since Monday
