Man, those look really nute burned and I'm also wondering what your Ph is! Sometimes it's better to just start over and cut your losses. I hope it goes the way you're hoping....Fingers crossed 4 you!

whenever you give nutes always start at quarter strength and work up from there. Im a soil grower but just started my first DWC, but i would flush res. and check PH as well for hydro application you want ph a bit lower then in soild I have kept mine between 5.5 and 6, so you'll want to check that as well as gettign some of those nutes out.

They are starting to look a lot better already. I had a little change in my plans today though. I acquired a 400w MH light for free today from a buddy. Brand new still in the box. I may wire that up this weekend and give that a try. I know HPS is best for flowering but if I use the MH with the AG lights and some cfl's it should do fine. The MH can't be worse than cfl's for flowering right? Let me know what you think.

Vegg with Mh and flower with the hps.
Putting cfl"s with hid is like putting your model airplan next to a 747.No need for cfl"s now you got hid.Take the AG hood off and use a timer on the hid.you good,just need a hps now.

Unfortunately all I will have is the MH and cfl's. I have no coin for a hps light setup. unless the light I have has the right ballast for it. How would I find out if I can use an HPS bulb in the light that came with a MH bulb?

I finished my install on my MH light yesterday and it has been working great. I made a cool tube box set up with some 4" dryer vent hose and 3/4" plywood with some plexiglass. I'll get some pictures up soon. I have the intake fan made from a small 5" fan that I took apart and mounted inside a 6" plastic conatiner jar with the end cut off. The screw to end is attached to the dryer hose and comes down from my attic and into the closet. It goes through one end of the box around the light bulb and out the other side and back up to the attic. I took apart the light so only the bulb is in the box and the Ballast is in the attic where it stays cool and quiet. The temp directly below bow feels real warm but about a foot away the temp has hung steady at 75. The AG plants have been stunted from all the problems and changes so I will let them sit and see what happens with them. I also started to germ my last 3 seeds that I'll stick in so dirt pots along with the AG I'll use the MH and the AG's cfl's together just cause I have it. We'll see how it goes.
