Thank you bro !

No problem, I hope that helps. I could never get pics to upload to forums back when I had an iPad. Once I went to Android based phones I should indeed upload pics.

Ok

 

[chantil]

does this look like the work of gnats?

 

[chantil]

They have been flushed with 5.5 ph water on wendsday. and now been treated with gonates only about 20 of them loog this way

 

[chantil]

look this way .the room is 75 when the lights are on 68 when there off 45-50% humidity they are a month old

You say you flushed with water ph'd to 5.5, what has been the general ph that you are striving for? I don't grow hydro much but I like to shoot for 5.7-6.0. Usually for me I would ph to the lower side of that and the ph would gradually rise over a few days. At which point I would ph everything again towards the low range. That one plant looks pretty rough. The others almost look over watered. Maybe your roots are not getting enough air? I suck at hydro. Wish I could be of more help. Soil is my game.

 

[chantil]

yeah we grown soil for years maybe shouldnt have changed! ph is always 6.0-5.5. i was just thinking that those damn gnates attack the roots and stems . its seems there were alot of those suckers getting flushed out and a couple still half alive. I guess im hoping that was the problem because everything else is by the book, i told my mom to yank the ones that look that way.

We have two airstone on 24 hours in the 100 gal res. there on 18 and 6

i'd really like more info.
what have you been feeding them? and how much?
how old are they?
from seed or clone?
temps?
humidity?
are you running the feeding system 24/7? or what kind of schedule are you using?
are they all the same strain?
the plant that looks REALLY bad, did u do anything different with her?

the leaf curling says ph problem to me. the yelliowing looks more like a cal/mg problem then a N problem. but it could really be anything with bad PH.

also you might want to cover up your meduim. i've only ever had bad experiences leaving my hydro medium exposed to light. that white stuff you see in the bottom of the tray is very bad for the roots

 

[chantil]

Since the plants started going downhill this is what been going on.
We are using G.H. for nutes at half strength of there feeding schedule that they provide.
The last week no nuts just 6.0 ph water at room temp to flush so we could "start over"
2 days ago we treated the plants with gognats, while all this has been snowballing out of control. We have been watering by hand not with the drip system, one time a day until it runs out of the rockwool.

plants are 7 weeks old they are from clone the strains are blue dream and la confidential

The room temp is 75 with the lights on 65 while they are off humidity 40-55 %

Im sorry to say but we did not condition the cubes.

covering the medium ? I dont even know what to use or heard of that before

there are plenty of roots comming out the bottom of the cubes.

there are 2 4x8 tables with 4 1000 watt lights 18 inches above the plants.

So i have 45 plants that are ok i use the term lightly and 30 that are not looking good.


any help is awesome ! what would you guys do to get these guys back on track .

[chantil]

thank you so much for the great info! I have a pen for pph and ec. when you say strong batch of nutes to flush them ,what ratio do you think sorry man but im just dont want to stress them out even more. im confused about the ratios you suggest are they per gallon or what type of measurment are you talking about ? thanks again im still very new to this.

 

[chantil]

thank you so much! Got it will keep you posted
