  2. Your rockwool looks very dry in the picture; the plants are stunted and probably have salt build-up. The stats you listed should make for a workable solution if applied correctly; I think you are watering too little at each watering. When you water try to ensure that at least 20% of what you pour in runs out the bottom. But, right now water each plant a lot, you want to flush out any salt/fertilizer build-ups that may be present. You should apply enough 1/2 strength solution that 80% of what you pour in runs off. This should be about twice the volume of your planting media, but, just make sure you get a bunch of runoff from each plant.

    I hope this helps
     
  3. What's a thowie? My guess is lighting.
