  3. I'm new to all of this too but It looks like nutrient burn. Are you using full strength of what it recommends? It's always recommended you start with 1/4 strength and work from there to see what your plants take up. Has your ph been maintaining a 6.0 or have you had to keep adjusting?
     
  4. I had that as well I just added more water to my tank to bring the PPM down a bit. Also once the roots are hanging down in the water there really is no need to use the top feeder. Plus if your pump is down in the water it will bring your water temp up. How old are your plants?

  9. So if my water is 300ppm from the hose and I add my nutrients and it ends up at 900ppm does that my my ppm is really 600 for nutrients ? Is that how it works?

    They look fine. Sometimes this happens if you spray with lights on.
     
  12. As from the tap? if so and your plants dont get nute burn then let it ride. From what I have read this is just a guide line. Some plants can handle more. Just keep an eye on them as you add more nutes. 
     
  13. Those roots look really brown to me and the air in your res looks to be not enough. Can't see any bubbles in your pic.

    You may be starting to see some root rot.

  14. Did you rinse of the pellets that might be where the brown is coming from. The roots that are down in the water are nice and white. But keep an eye on those roots make sure they are not drying out. Make sure the bubbles are strong enough to splash water on the roots that are not in the water, plus more bubble = more oxygen to your girls.. 
     
  15. U should be using hard water micro. Your starting calcium deficiency. You are getting stained roots either you need higher water levels or more oxygen in rez. What do you run your top feed drip on? Is it a drip ring or dripper head?
     
  16. Holy shit lol

    I thought that was an air line :lol:

    The eyes are not what they used to be haha
     
  17. It has water lines running too
