Hey guy I need help I’m new to dwc and having issues

[Bendover]

what order are you adding the liquid or dry amedments, enzymes to the water?

i add flora max A then B then calmag, dump that in then i was just adding the enzyms to the res separately

 

[PK1]

i have slight green algie on the clay balls but was told thats just from the light hitting the clay balls and should be an issue, no algie in the water and the plants with bigger root balls look lovly and white

ya, don't worry about the green alage. Thats just from getting the pibbles wet from hand watering in the beging and the light hitting those top pibbles.
As long as there in no black, red, brown alage on theh roots then you are good. The roots do look healthy from the pictures above.

@Aquaman correct me if im mistaking but it should be nutrients, calmag, PH adjust, enzyme
The enzyme should be the last thing thats added.

yea roots look great, its aminly this one plant that was the biggest but hardly has any roots, they all are sick tho but the ones with bigger roots are handling the issue better, ill get a photo from the other tent witch was planted about 4 days earlier

depending on how big the bet pots are and how much pibbles are in there. Your plants are pretty big but i don't see much roots sticking out of one of the pictures. The other one seemed better.
Lets get them standing up again and then will work on the roots. You do have healthy roots based on the picture

yea hard to see in the photo but i think i can see a slight browness coming in, the used to be like purely white now there sort of off white , the younger newer roots look whiter than the root ball at the bottom

 

[Ponky]

Is it slimy or a thin clear film on the roots?

thats probebly just the nutrients. brown alage is different and you'll know you have alage lol!

so what do we think on ppm? is 700 to high for plants this size cause they got worse after i bumped up the nutes, well they got better for 1 day but then got worse

 

[PK1]

700ppm is fine. how long you've been in veg?

in veg for 3 weeks, was just talking to my local hydro shop and may of found the issue... the bloke who sold me the dwc kit told me i could let the water feed from the top run 24/7 but the bloke who i just spoke to said thats your issue there drowning? makes sense right ?

I've been taught to keep the water level about an inch below the net pot. Sounds like perhaps you have found your problem! Post and let us know how things look in a few days and great job on possibly solving your issue!
