im new to growing hydroponics and i have been growing my four plants since two weeks now...It was time for me to flush out water and put new water in the reservoir then today, the plant leaves are curling down plus the leaves are changing to grayish color..whats wrong??! what do i do?? temperature= 75, ph=6.0, and use 1200 watts led..I am sure everything is perfect..I think i put too much nutrients..any insight would help or any help would be appreciated...i don't want them to die! otherwise, i would start all over again...PLEASE HELP!! I have sensi grow a and b, bloom a and b, added the grow a and b to following directions on the bottle given...I have 25 gallons reservoir so i had to calculate how much i needed for 25 gallons reservoir...i added 3/4 cup the last two weeks then flushed then put new water and added up 3/4 cup and another 3/4 cup yesterday of those because it said i needed double once it is in vegetative stage plus put additive nutrients, b52 and voodoo right now..Im still new, please help! Thanks Ryan
Temp seems a little high man. Your res should be 68 or lower. But honestly I can't pinpoint a problem haha my hydro grows haven't been the best.
no one?? I am monitoring my plants right now as I speak at the moment...Not sure what to expect for the plants as i am worrying about them..I am a beginner and i would really appreciate anyone's help right now as I don't want to lose the plants and money :...
Take water out of the res and add plain water to get the ppm down to 600. ditch those nutes with fucked up feed chart, get some 5-12-29 soluble dry. One teaspoon per gallon and fling some cal mag and let it ride. I swear I dont do a fucking thing and its growing like wild.
thanks bro! flushed out the res and its just plain water so lets see what happens now...Would a water pump be helpful?
checked the plants today, it seems they arent getting any better...only one plant looks happy and healthy but the other 3; their leaves are turning to grayish and brownish color plus curling like they look like they are dying or burned..already flushed the water out, what do i do?? should i wait and see what will happen?
You should post a picture be easier to help you.. Sent from my GT-I9305 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
you should never leave you plants without nutrient, so if you flush with water back feed with nutrient solution. When things go bad, flush and back feed with 1/2 strength of what you were using. Plants take a few days to react to changes so don't swap it up every day or you will over correct. Also check your reservoir tank, is there any algae or gunk in it? You might need to cover it from the light or add an airstone to keep the water moving which keep algae growing. Algae needs light, and warm stagnant water to grow and it will clog you up and eat you nutrients causing an imbalance to the ratios you think are there. Good luck.
