Glitch is the man you want to talk to about DWC. he will get you back on track.

nuts issue.. low on something

can you give me more info on your grow? what kind of base water are you using, tap, ro? what nute line? how high is you water level? temp, pH and EC of water? what do your roots look like? shooting from the hip based on a photo im thinking your pH off, also looks o2 starved based on the droopy fan leaves, either from water level too high or more likely too warm. warm water hold significantly less O2, bubble it all you want and it won't matter. if your water is too warm youre dancing on a razorblade, it's not if but when you'll get rot. do you use benny bacteria or sterile Rez additives?

thanks for the show of confidence six!! means a lot coming from the best grower on here

I'm bubbling the water and have lowered it till the roots are taking better in the pebbles watering ofter to keep em moist my humidifier went out after 4 days any suggestions on a good one or decent one need it asap also need a cooler asap ductless

thanks Buddy, I appreciate that, however I’m not the best, just one of many good growers on the app. 👊

any ideas on a humidifier or ductless ac?

if your roots haven't grown through the hydroton yet, raise the water level up to the bottom of the pot. the air bubbles popping on the surface will splash the hydroton at the bottom and will wick up to the hydroton above it, basically self watering the plant until the roots reach down into the water. when the roots hit the water lower the level to about an inch no more than 2 inches below the pot.

thank you!! also I'm switching to Led 2000w full spectrum this weekend will it affect them or shock them? using 1000w hps at 400 w

I willing to bet your lights are too dim. and your temp and humidity are off as well. they are not transpiring and taking up nutrients. leaving them at the roots also you may want to put more air stones in each bucket. If conditions are right hydroponics plants grow like a race car. water temperature also is a big factor for success in dwc. this is my thinking anyway.

wonderful thank you I keep humidifier set around 55 and temp.aroimd 77 been trying to find right hight on light

Any update?
