My baby is sick, IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE!!!!!

So everything has been growing fine, and bam i find, brown spots on my baby, this is my 1st serious grow.

Please help
they are in a water farm.


plz plz plz help.

whaat is the ph? and watering schedule? is your medium all hydroton? ur not feeding them, right?

whats your ph? and what nutes are you using?

ok so,
i went to check on my PH and it was at a 5.5

i brought up the ph to 6.8-7
to see if that helps.

also i have notice this when i was fixing the ph, i dumbed all the water and gave it a refresh refill. now i fixed the ph to 6.5 - 7 and then i went to add the nutrients.
i added

General Hydropnics
FloraBloom
FloraGro
FloraMicro

on the back it tells me to us a mix of all 3 of them. so i added it to the water and just before i put everything back together again. i took the PH just to check it again.. and BAM back to 5.5. so i was like WTF, i equaled it back out to 6.5-7.
the question now thats in my mind is,
1- should i be using these nutrients to feed my babies.
and 2 will raising the ph back to normal fuck up any of the nurtients that i use to feed them.

Btw im not sure what "nuts" are
I want to say Yes my medium is all hydroton, i only have those black sponges and everything else is the clay balls. -

You have that set up hydroponically? Hydro your ph needs to be lower 5.5ph would actually be pretty good, but that may be to many nutes for a young plant. by the way 6.5 is good for soil

you want to fix your ph after you add your nutes, because your nutes will affect the ph.

alright, bad news. u need to dump that water out and feed them plain water. they are not ready for any nutes yet, but they will be in about a week or two weeks. you want the ph between 5.3-5.8 for hydro. i think the plants are burned from the nutes. u didn't say how often u are watering? it should be quite often with clay pellets

yea that's a nute overload for such babies. start with small feedings of just one focused on Veg growth, and slowly work your way across the board into the flowering. you need to establish a feeding schedule.

Sorry, I have been watering them , about 2 times a day.

So no nutes for another 2 weeks?

that 3part flora nute pack came with the waterfarm u ordered huh? I dont know dick about the flora nutes, but the ones that came with mine aint gonna get used, i know that much, lol. Also, how many plants u got setup in that single bucket bro?? u know thats not gonna fly in about 2 weeks right?

Right now I have the 5 plants in there. But I’m going out today and getting a 2nd one to transfer 2-3 of them into the new water farm.
The guy at the place where I get my supplies told me that I can have about 2-3 plants in 1 bucket.
I would just have to change the water more frequently and keep adding more nutes to keep everyone happy. But then again, I told him I was growing tomatoes. lol

bump...,,,...

yep no nutes until u get leaves with 7 tips. approximately.
u could fit three plants, but u will have to train them to go in seperate directions.
it could get a little complicated down the road, not recomended but it can be done. then if u get a male u will have male roots tangled up with female roots and the male will have to be removed.

yeh the plants on top arent what i was worrying about bro, it was the root systems below. You DONT want them to get all tangled up. Thats why most people recommend 4-5 gallons per individual plant - cuz each root system is gonna grow to become 2-3 times the size of the actual plant when you grow in hydro. Soil, i dont know cuz its soil and i cant look constantly. Im a 1st time hydro grower too, so im new at this also man. Dont take TOO much of what im sayin to heart. I actually even heard that the flora nutes comin with the drip system are pretty good nutes...

the only time roots getting tangled up will be a prob is if u have to remove a plant. the more compacted they get the more oxygen u need to get into the water. anyways, i don't know too much about the waterfarm. i grow eb&flo

all nutes are basically the same. i used to use GH all the time and I still use that same stuff u have sometimes.
