Tried Many Things First, Its Been 4 Weeks And No More Growth.

My bluelab meter arrived early!

My pH is 6.5 and ppm is 980! Was this the problem?

Thats a lot of ppm and way too high of ph for hydro

I cant see the roots, they havent made it through the cup yet.

Water temp has always been 23C-25C.

How do I get the ppm down?

My Bluelab Guardian says I only need to calibrate once a month. But I will keep an eye on it.

How do i get ppm down..... Reverse osmosis

Water change. Do your buckets have a drain? If not your going to need one so when the plants get big you can drain without tearing stuff apart .

In order to lower your PH you might want to consider buying a "PH Down" solution. How many gallons of water are in this bucket? Does it recirculate? Be careful with the solution, you will probably only need a drop or two. If you go to low don't add "PH UP" simply pour some water out and replace with tap water and try to PH it again. I typically try to keep my PH @ 5.8 in order to allow nutrient availability.

Get some ro water from the market, use that water, ph it to 5.8. Lower water level to just under net cup, not touching it. Make sure your stone aeration is turned up high, lots of bubbles under the net cup. Wait. Keep an eye on ph. Do only 1/3 nutrients.
