dump the silica brah it falls out of suspension too easily. if you want to shake up the nutrients try house and garden aqua flakes!
I would look to the root zoneSilica has been dumped.
Im on my 3rd nute brand. Cant blame the nutes anymore.
This droopy plant issue is so weird. It’s completely random. I can find a pattern. 2 plants have died. About 12 more (out of 1100) are drooping.
They look overwatered. But why now? Nothing has changed in the water flow.
They look like overheating? But why only this zone. No other zones showing this.
Could be a pathogen? I dunno.
I just hope it doesnt spread. I wish i could be pro-active on this. But Im inclined to just ride it out.
Hmm i will try bumping up EC. Im usually at about 1.3-1.4 in week 4 of flower. Usually doing a flush then refilling with a half strength nutrient solution doesnt mess up my ph and fixes nutrient problems but this is just wierd. My water out of ro is 0.2 EC so definitely need to change filters. Think bad ro filters could be the cause?
Definitely i ordered all new filters and membrane. The Membrane has to be trashed. I put new filters in and they were dirty in 2 hours so time for a new membrane. Figured might as well get a sterilizer while im at it.

I can't say for certain but kinda looking like root zone issue. Maybe root rot. Hydrogaurd is about the only thing I can think of that may help if that's the case.
I'm not sure defgaurd will kill pythium. I would stick to hydrogaurd personally. It's a specific strain of bacteria... Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens. It has the ability to kill pythium infected tissue inside the roots. I'm not sure what that other stuff is made up of.I agree it must be a root zone issue.
Roots are healthy tho.
Im flushing the resi.
I’ll add a shit ton of Hydroguard. Or better yet DefGuard. It’s more concentrated.

That temp is going to affect transpiration and overall plant health. I would definitely fix that and add the hydrogaurdIt’s gotten very cold here at night. Sometimes into the low 40’s.
That said, no other zones are showing issues. Resi temps been in the high 50’s at worst.
OkSame exact active incredient. Much stronger dosage tho.
Very well could be... I'm not certain but I agree a root issue. It appears to be acute from his description which is why I'm kinda leaning to rot but that could well be the root cause.... No pun intendedThey look like they're drowning, bad flow/oxygen rate at the root zone.
