This is my first post here, and I wish it would be for other reasons, but I really need help with this. Sorry for the pics with led lights, but they are not relevant and I dont have time right now to make new ones, my plants are dying as I write.
It is my first attempt with hydroponics, and I'm using the autopot system. I knew there was a chance of experience clogging with the system, but I also saw lots of happy people. I have been emptying and cleaning the reservoir every week, and I kept things clean; but I can't check if the plants are receiving water everyday. It is a scrog and the plants are in the net and very low, so it's difficult to reach the trays to check everything's fine.
It's my 5th week in flowering stage, everything was going amazingly well, the plants were super healthy, and I was very excited because I thought my first hydroponics would be more difficult... but a couple of days ago, in the morning, I noticed a slight lack of vitality in the plants; they still were green and looked fine, but the leaves were looking down a bit... the effect was very light and I didn't thought much about it. But in the evening the plants looked like in the photos... One of them is almost dead and the other have lots of yellow leaves in the bottom (they weren't there 3/4 days ago), leaves looking down, the branches are loosing strenght, the small buds are getting softer... the plants are drying out.
Immediately, I cleaned everything and got rid of the nutrient build up. In one hour everything was solved. I thought the plants would recover, except for the most damaged one. A day and a half has passed and the plants don't look better, and I think they are getting worse. They have water and I've been checking several times... the valves are working and the plants are being fed.
So I don't know what to do. Perhaps watering from the top could help? Any advice would be very welcomed.
