15 litrer of water
4.5ml of enzyme
18ml of bennies
16ml of A grow
16ml of B grow

Ppm = 400

Forget It for this one. Going back in peat/vermiculite

Sounds like you have some experience in soil. Good.

I suggest you use that knowledge and start your hydro journey with rockwool blocks. It's a good bridge between soil and media less growing if you want to attempt this again. The rockwool blocks will give you a more soil ish feel than roots hanging in the air. A lot more similarities between rockwool and soil that can be used to up your hydro knowledge and then move onto media less grows.

I swear my system will work, my mistake, i started my seed in soil and was thinking to put them hydro and that will work. My mystake... anyway the plant will probably die anyway. I already plant 2 new seed if this one die.

Well this was an interesting read!!
This system would work if the roots had somewhere to be not just hanging in the air!!

In a nft method where are the roots? Technically my system is suppose to work.. now , i just need more knowledge into hydroponic nutrient recipe

What is this NFT you refer to??
All systems have to roots in something!
Aeroponics yes the roots sit in the air but they are constantly sprayed with highly oxygenated mist!!
If you filled the buckets with clay balls or perlite and drip fed them then this system would work.
Just having the roots hanging in a bucket with a bit of water dribbling over them will never work!
Your roots will be either dry to much and die or develop pathogens and die!!

In a kratzky method at one point most of the roots are in air. Youll see, it will work. Im not the first who attempt that

Sorry about that man! They really looked over watered. To get them some nutrients quick you can give them a few foliar feedings.

Its ok, i shouldnt try them hydro anyway, i started them in peat and vermiculite, my bad. The cotton ball was in fact too much water and the rest not enough. Mistake are learning. Im spraying them with rhyzotonic. (Ascophyllum nodosum extract) They show sign of recovery since yesterday, im waiting the next leave to see whats happen.
