Evening all!

Having a proper stress about my plants at the min! PLEASE HELP! One of the plants which has fallen over i have never come across the problem before and cant understand whats going on! Maybe its not getting enough water? The other two look a bit shady and like there not going to grow any more

I am using a Drip system , PH 5.6-5.8 and Grow Ionic nutrients (200ml per 30litre of water)

The plants get watered 3 times daily during there 18hours of lighting period

All 3 plants were planted about 30 days ago

Big budda blue cheese

Any help would be much appreciated

Yea, it seems like 3 times a day seems like an awful lot to be watering them.

3x a day is fine in hydro. how long/much? what's your ppm?you're probably using a recirculating system. how much does the rez hold? i'm guessing it's rather small.

Thanks for the replies - Its on a drip system and waters them 3 x for 30min in 24hours, All the water goes back into the reservoir!!

PPM is about 2.0 maybe 1.8

( The tank holds exactly 30lites of water )

that's way too high of a ppm. they're pretty young too. i'd drop it down to 800 and see what happens. so your rez is about 7 gallons. rule of thumb is 5 gallons per plant. how often are you changing out your rez?
