Firstly, hi! I am psyched to finally be able to post stuff in here, normally I just read everyone's advice. I am on my second grow and having some issues I hope someone can offer some advice with. I am using the culture current hydroponic system with 24 plants under 14 600 watt Gavita lights. My first grow went off without a hitch, it was quite amazing actually. My new plants (last week of veg, approximately 8/10 weeks old from cloning time started out with a little root problem at which I should have ditched them. part of the root system, closest to the plant had yellowed (I think from adding sos to ez cloner) but the rest of the roots were healthy and white so I decided to just go with it. Right now about half of my plants are quite droopy as well as yellowing leaves in the middle bottom section of the plants. My research has me convinced that it is a manganese deficiency due to the fact that my ph was around 6.2-6.3 for about a week, thus leading to lack of ability to absorb manganese. Again, just my opinion. It has been back down around 5.8-5.9 for a couple of days now. The plants do actually look a little better. I am going to attach some not so good photos of the plants as well as one of the leaves that started out yellow and droopy and sorta now has rusty looking tips. The leaves on all of the plants seem to be a bit brittle or dry feeling also. Water temp stays at 67, ph now at 5.9. Temp in room has fluxuated immensely as the ac was out of commision for about 4-5 days. IT got as hot as 111 one day, mid 90's the other days, but only for between 1-2 hours max. My main concern right now is that the healthy plants, which are almost twice the size as the unhealthier ones are droopy and I would like that to not exist. Any advice/questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
