Right, you feed dwc plants by putting nutes into the res and then getting the ec up-too the amount you want yeah, 0.4 baby plants 1.3 normal size plants on so on' well what i was doing was getting a jug, putting 1ltr of water into that jug' then adding nutes untill i was getting an ec reading from that jug, then once i had an ec reading of 0.4 in the jug' then i'd put it into the res of my dwc, lol sorry if i confused you' i get abit jumbled up now and then'

Hey mate, Scroggsy said get it for flowering... your nowhere near that yet. Just be patient now that you have added the right amount of nutrients to the tank and not your jug or whatever... They were dying from starvation. Those leaves effected will never look ok again but new growth will look fine. Just have to wait now and stop fucking with it. Oh and don't worry bout the air pump being off for a few hours lol mine was off for like 6 hours once and plants were fine...

Thanks guys for the advice but the new grow startted to go a bunky with colour so i binned it and im gonna start over, i wasn't getting my hopes up with it from the start as it was my frist dwc attempt, the things i learned from it was that when using a dwc with 39 ltrs of water holds the ec and ph really well, i went like 3 days without checking the ph and when i did it was the same as the last time i'd checked it' so that was good to know lol
I'll clean it all out and put another seed in to germ and start off again, i'd just like to so thanks you for all your good advive and taking the time to help it was really nice of you all again thanks scunk
