Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this.
BACKGROUND OF MY SITUATION.
I have grown indoor with soil a few times years ago and this is my first hydroponics grow. My investor got excited when he saw we were a few days from testing a 16 5 Gal DWC system. He decided on his own to buy some "Lemon OG" teens in 1 inch rock wool that was put in a solo cup with dirt. He watered them for a day and a half as I completed our set up. I went to the local hydroponics store and spoke with someone who claims to have done DWC a few times. He told me to gently remove dirt from the roots and transplant them into 6x6x4 rock wool cube and wedge it in the net pot. I did so and was top feeding with 6PH 650PPM GH nuits and H2O2 (there was already white powder fungus on the stems of half the plants) for 2 days then RO water the 3rd day. Majority of the 16 plants weren't looking so good even though the fungus looked to be fading so I spent the day researching. Coming to the conclusion the big block of rock wool was my problem I transplanted them again. Only one plant had noticeable root growth when I broke down the rock wool. I put the 1 inch rock wool cube in the net pot and gently tried to pull some of the roots through the bottom and filled it with hydro stones. I have been feeding them the same nuit mixture and am approaching day 3 after the most recent transplant. Most seem to be doing fine but some are looking even more unhappy with green-yellow droopy leaves.
The room is high 70's during the day Mid to high 60's at night with humidity between 35-40%. I also have been misting them with RO water twice a day.
Bucket water is 65 dropping a couple during night 6.1 PH 950PPM PPM week 3
MY QUESTIONS ARE.
Judging by my situation is there anything I should have done or be doing differently?
Is it to early after the transplant/fungus infection to tell if there is anything else wrong?
Is 950 ppm to high for a newly transplanted teen (about 18-24 inches) to be getting splashed on from underneath?
This is the chart I am using which I think is a little high but what the hell do I know.
900 PPM for week 2
1200 PPM for week 3
1500 PPM week 4
1800 PPM week 5+
Flush
1000 PPM week1
1300 PPM week 2
1600 PPM week 3
1900 PPM week 4
Any input is greatly appreciated!
