Home Depot, OSH or your local Hydro store will carry gallons of B1.. It will be allot cheaper at the hardware store or nursery.. The Ratio on the bottle should be 1 TBLS per gallon for bare root stock but I go a little lower, 1/2 to 3/4 TBLS.. In your case you might just want to add a tea spoon or so into the bucket and let them heal up.. Any root accelerator could help...

PS. Change your water out every week if you are not already!!

I found my problem while changing the water. ALGAE! So I made some light proof changes. Hoping to see some improvements in my plants soon. I've got my fingers crossed...

Algae is not necessarily good for the plants but I don’t think it would stun them to that degree.. I still think they are transplant shocked or nuet locked.. Just give them some time..

One of my plants has had problems since I transplanted it into DWC. The other didn't have any problems until about a week and a half after I transplanted. I bought some superthrive and used half a teaspoon in my 5gal bucket. Also I added just a tiny bit of rooting powder in my 5gal bucket. Hoping doing this and changing the water will fix things. Time will tell.

I couldn't find any vitamin b1

I lowered my PPM to 650 too. Any suggestions as to what else I should do?

Changed the water
PH 5.5
Water temp 66
Lights temp 79
PPM 650
Added a very tiny amount of rooting powder
Added a half teaspoon of superthrive
Water level is at the very bottom of the mesh pots

I just don't know how much better it gets than that...

How much nuts are you giving them? I stared of with 1/4 tsp per gallon, and every week i just add another 1/4 until i reached the recommended doses. Hopefully, all it needs is time to recuperate. Good luck on your grow.

Fox farm at half strength. I've been busting my ass trying to figure out what the problem could be. I've tried everything. The only thing I haven't considered is that my tap water is not good. I'm going to buy distiller water and not use tap water. I'll probably run my system with distiller ph'd water with no nutes for a while then slowly add nutes. The waters really the absolute last possibility of being the problem. They are definitely locked and not taking nutes and have stopped growing.

If there is anything at all that I have not tried please mention it to me.

Any suggestions at this point are very needed.

Ok, so I changed the tap water and I am now using only ph'd distilled water with nothing else in the DWC bubbler, no nutrients, no nothing. I have Fox Farms Trio as nutes but I need to know how long I should let them sit in the plain ph'd distilled water before I add nutes?

Anyone?

Ooooookkkk. Looks like I'm just talking to myself from now on.

I now have them in ph'd distilled water with no nutes. I did add a 1/4 teaspoon of superthrive and just a tiny bit of rooting powder. I'm not sure how long I should wait before adding nutes back so I guess I will wait a day or two and then slowly add nutes at 1/8 or 1/4 strength. Not sure if any of this has been a good idea or a waste of time. Time will tell...

Oh yeah, I have a 400watt mh/hps light setup on the way!

im growing auto bubblicious also. the only problem im having is i keep having to re-pot. these things grow crazy root systems very fast. im using all cfls and advanced nutrients. it seems this strain likes soil better than hydro.

I got nutrient lock because my ph was at 4. I went away for 3 days and came back to yellow leaves. They are doing a little better now some of the yellow leaves are turning green again but the plant has been set back a week or two

Actually they are 3 weeks old and still look like 2 week olds. They have completely stopped growing. I'm going to give them one more week to revive themselves then toss them. Bummer

Today is the first day that the droopy leaves have perked back up. Wow, they might actually live! Still no growth at all though in almost 2 weeks. I do see some very small brand new roots coming out of the mesh pots.

Can't wait for the cal-mag to arrive.

Here are my latest seedlings. The first picture is about five days old. The second picture is twelve days old. The thin leaved on is Nirvana Blackjack. The other is Nirvana Northern Light. You can sure tell the difference, even this young. These were taken after watering, which is why the soil looks really wet. I'm going to transplant these in about one more week to bigger pots.

Can't see pics. Can you try again?
