do u have a airpump
Would it be weird if I see black stuff in the bottom of my nutrients mix. I put them in a gallon of disstilled water.
It is bigger than I previously stated. But I just got some Hydroguard in today so I will try that first.

The way you are trying to grow is fine for a beginner. Just follow the rules......
Your about to get slimed in a big way. Hydroton or another NON-organic material only in those netpots, not to mention what its doing to your PH.
Take out the plants out, get as much of that stuff out of the pots and refill it with hydroton slowly. Rinse as much shit off the roots and pot as you can. Soak it in weak h2o2 for a couple hours.
Your gonna F some roots buts its the only way short of starting over.
Sterilize everything else with 91% iso or your choice of chemical and boil your airstones.
Refill it with 100ppm nutes PH 6.0 and most important........
Always, Always use Hydroguard and keep ALL LIGHT from your res. Wrap it in a towel or do what you gotta do. Did I say always? If you don't have that in your res at all times and keep it light proof, don't bother trying to grow the way you are. You will get slimed, every time.

In the jug your mixing it in? Or your res.
What nutrients are you using, and what order do you mix them in?
In the jug I mixed them in. Haven’t given them in nutes this week.
I will try to find something else for the net pots. But I put some Hydroguard in my resovoir bout to days ago since the day before I water. I put about 1.5 ml. I will check my ph again today. My plants looking worse and worse everyday.

What brand nutes are you using?
If you mix in the wrong order some of the nutrients will bind and fall out as a visible solid. I know for a fact it happens with GH trio but I havent used any others and seen it. GH Trio will fall out as salt looking chunks if I mix it wrong.
