Been browsing the forums for info for awhile! My favorite place to gain knowledge so far! Anyways, I've had a few grows and done pretty well, but in my latest, there's some things happening that I just can't figure out. Growing two strains on flood and drain tables. Cherry Crescendo and Strawberry Cookies. The Crescendo is doing well, but the Strawberry has just never looked very happy or healthy. Here's what I'm working with here: GC ROI-E720s at about 600 PAR per Photone app. Plants are in 9x9 pots of hydroton. Dutch Pro nutes at approx. 900ppm. Ph is good. 78-82 degrees with CO2 at 1500ppm. Tables flood every 3 hours for 15 min only during lights on. 18/6 schedule. Got them as small clones and this is about 3 1/2 weeks of veg. This is about the time I will normally flip to 12/12. I did have have some root aphids and fungus gnats, primarily on the Crescendo, but I did a root drench with Lost Coast Plant Therapy about two weeks ago that knocked most of them out it seems, but starting to see a few here and there, so spraying occasionally with Lost Coast. Haven't seen many on the Strawberry, but perhaps they're causing this? I thought perhaps overwatering, so I actually had the Strawberry only flood every 6 hours during lights off for a week, and nothing changed either way really. So, I did put them back on the every 3 hours schedule that I've normally used again yesterday and will see if it changes anything as the days go forward. Just really never had any issues I couldn't research on here and make the right changes needed. Any thoughts from someone more experienced? Thank you so much for your time and knowledge in advance! Here's some pics. The first ones are the Strawberry Cookies plants I'm worried about and the others are the Cherry Crescendo which I think is doing ok. These pics were taken only about 30 min before lights off, so they're a little "tired", but it's pretty much the story so far.
