Roots need oxygen.
I'll lower the water level as I changed the air stone the other day but doesn't seem to have helped thank youRoots need oxygen.
Thanks simply... I have had trouble with both as I'm in an unheated outhouse. Lights out I can't get the ambiant temp to stay above 15-16 Celsius without caining the heater more than i already am. Before the heater it was going below 10. The buckets stay at 18 so fixed issues there. Am moving the next grow inside though which I'm sure will bring the opposite problems that I've now learnt to sort of fixSome strains just don't like their roots living in food water. They'll always have that overwatered look. If things are progressing positively, and roots are nice and white(ish) I think you're good. You refer to temp...not sure if you mean bucket temp or ambient temp. Ambient temp definitely get in check or you'll be disappointed with airy buds. Bucket temp I never chilled or cooled but kept the tent temp in check.
Here's a useful light chart...hopefully not too blurry!

I might have a play with my heat timer for night cycle. Im just happy to have got them this far. I'm now having ph fluctuations on the big won which I've just read is over nuting the solution so my next change I'll decrease again. It's been a massive learning curve and to see what I've been smoking forever grow has been the best, it truly is an amazing plant. Been blown away by the transition from veg to flower it's been worth it already
I know the maths for dilutions on the nutes solutions so all good there. What's happening is a couple of days after a change (which I stick to religiously once a week) it drops. So at the start of a change ph is 5.8-6.2 as I expect a rise after downing it. But I've had it drop to 4.2-4.7 and if she's not drank enough I up her until the next day before adding more ph'd water as she drinks so much more now. When I flipped I was using half strength solution but have been upping the strength as she's not struggling/burning but this drop monitoring isn't needed with the little kush. Oh and I will take care of them both as best I can, and take as far as possible. I wanna know why I pay for so much shit weed and how hard it is. I'm pretty fussy about my smoke thoughDefinitely. .but you don't want all your efforts to be for nothing. Finish strong. Imo you should be mixing your nutes per specs..and then checking...and ph(ing) down. It's good to know what your starting ph is...but imperative after you've mixed your nutes. If you're reading high definitely ph down.
