man that sucks bro im telling you though the main thing looks like over watering. tell me if you pick up one of those blocks right before the water kicks on is it heavy as hell? if so i would stop watering till they start to feel lighter those massive blocks will hold water for days.

They are most def still heavy, there is still water in them now. Very wet on the bottom. I have not fed them for 24 hours now and will wait to feel them till the blocks get light.

ya man you need to check out dadio's grow he uses the same blocks im pretty sure and i believe he only waters like twice a week or something like that surprised he hasn't chimed in yet. this is why i love hydroton much more forgiving.

I may switch to using the stuff in my next grow witch may be sooner than later L Do you just put your rockwool cube right into the stuff. Also how many floods a day do you use with it?

I know you've been checking your PH but judging by the clawed leaves and and curved tips it looks to me like you might have a PH issue. Not saying they're not over-watered as well but it does appear to me like you have a PH imbalance.

I am going to clean out the rez today and redo my nutes just to make sure it’s all good before they get fed again when the blocks dry out.

i clone in rapid rooters than straight to my pots with hydroton it works great.

i agree the spotted leaves look to me like ph too i would calibrate your meter just to be on the safe side i have had those things wack out on me.

Ok so I just cleaned out the rez and have not refilled it yet. That sucked ass BTW.
I also got some root accelerator for my next feed.
I also checked the pH meter and all is well.
I am not going to feed again until the blocks get light. Witch at this rate will be a day or two more.
I am open to suggestions as to what the pH and the PPM should be for the next time I feed.

If you don't have a ton of roots everywhere. Pick up your rockwool blocks gently, not to crush or smash them, and do a lifting and droping motion to get rid of excess water in your blocks, let them continue to dry out a bit for a day, or two, or three, however long untill they have very little water in them again. Then mix up some new nutes, about 200 ppm, and water them from the bottom. thing is with rock wool, it holds alot of water. Your watering schedule is for hydroton pellets, not for rockwool. you might be able to get up to one watering a day, when the plants are like 3 feet tall. But more likely with those giant blocks, watering might only be once a week at first.
