I drained the Rez filled it back up re added all my nutes I am at 1000 ppm gonna give them some nutes and see what happens ...ThanksI don't think it's over or under watering it seems more like your locking out your nutes . Your leafs are pale , drooping and some twisting . Don't pull them just look real hard at your nutes , ph and ppms and you will get ur done . Is that soil that you had them in to start the plants and then put them in the cubes ? Could that be leaching into your res from your trays during runoff and making things outta wack ? I see it's drain to waste
Sorry to leave you hanging man. Yeah, I guess, since I don't exactly know everything that's going on with your situation, give'em a flush, but at 300 ppms, so you don't compound any deficiances you already have. Then feed them what I said. Another thing that will help is lower your CO2 to 1000ppm, until they get back on track. You have some major deficiances going on and CO2 only compounds them.
Hey bro,
You may want to think about flood and drain. I have never had good luck watering rockwool from top. Transition would'nt be a big deal. Less headache in long run.
Good Luck
At what point should I water It seems the slabs stay moist but the 6" cubes dry up my thought was the roots where sucking the water from the slabs..And I was over watering..

Thank you very much!! I actually feel much better after reading this Thats exactly what I came up with after watering them one more time.. Im going to start over let the roots blow out the cubes then use the slabs ..im sure your nute levels / co2 were fine... what i believe happened was that you placed your cubes onto your slabs before the roots were fully developed in the cubes... the water was then drawn to the slabs passing the sensitive little cuts.. therefore they were either being suffocated by water or had an abundance of oxygen... no happy medium for the size of the roots... when using rockwool you want to transplant in the same way you would with soil... only when the roots are blasting out of the bottoms of the cubes... (if using slabs you can speed this process up by using smaller cubes)...
i usually hand water my cuts in rockwool until they are ready to go in slabs... or get on a ebb/flow cycle.. dont give up on this system im sure when dialed in you will get phenomenal results... you just have to be careful how much you water them... if they dont have time to dry out a little then the roots won't fully develop (searching for water)... its a process they need to reach full potential..
it looks like you might have stunted their growth... think about squeezing them all together under a tray or two and start another batch...
hope this helps...
Root rot, more then likely. You should use H2O2, in your reservior.
