hello everyone,
this is my first time posting in this forum and I hope you guys can help a newbie out.
Recently, I've been having sick plants and I can't figure out what is the issue so I'm hoping for advice on how to resolve the issue.
This is my first time at this and I settled on the DWC because it was cheaper to start my first cycle.
I'm currently using a T-5 for vegging and its currently day 20. About 7 days ago my plants started showing signs of some sort of lockout as the fan leaves were showing signs of deficiency and decay.
I attributed the issue to low PH because for whatever reason, my PH pen was off by a whole point on the higher end when I got it from the store. So instead having a range of 5.8 to 6.3 like I thought i was having, my plants were actually growing in the 4.8 to 5.3 range.
I only found this out when a buddy of mine brought over his new PH pen just to test it out.
So I flushed out the buckets and gave it only PH water for a day, and on the following day I resumed my normal feeding schedule.
Things started to resume back to normal again as the plants were showing good signs of recovery. However, in only 5 days things have gotten worse than it was before and now im totally stumped as to what to do.
My ph is around 5.8 to 6.3. My ppm is rough 600 and overall room temp has been averaging 79 degrees with little fluctuation.
I'm using advance nutrients 3 parter with some additives like cal mag and mother grow tea with some hygrozyme.
The only difference in feeding schedule from day one to day 14 is the addition of hygrozyme cause my buddy suggested that I use it to prevent root rot.
My roots aren't entirely slimy nor does it have any foul smell to it. it is however not as white as I would like to be but I'm not sure its because of the discoloration from the nutrients or its actually root rot.
Going to post a bunch of pics and I hope we can find a way to save my girls. Any tips/feed is greatly appreciated guys
oh one last thing to ask, is there such thing as too much air? I'm currently using the eco 7 among 12 five gallon buckets. Thought I'd just throw that info out there in case it has an affect on the plants
