im using Nova bloom +floracious plus+silica+flora nectar+calmag
problem 1
I did rez change with 1300 ppm
problem 2

i think you nute burned and have now locked out the yellowing ones. could also be rot so check for that too.

flush for 24 hrs with plain water. start back on NovaBloom only at about 300ppms and slowly increase the feed.

so what u saying i burned 2 out of 7 plants ? also the weird part that those 2 plant are in the middle
Roots are fine no rot (im running chiller and Southern AG) the are brown but im assuming thats cuz of flora

yep, i think so. 2.6 EC is way too high for DWC . more like 1.2EC max.

that's one of the downfalls of rdwc: what is good for some is not always good for all.

and the other bad part is you don't know which plants are eating either. my guess is the green ones are dropping your ppms and the yellow ones aren't eating at all.

this makes lot of sense :) but what i dont get is then why the rest of the plants not eating they look green and growing (right plant in the 1st pic)

Like i said, it could be genetics. I have 3 plants same strain, same everything and weeks off between flowering amount and ripeness and some take off later in the process even if placed on 12 12 all at same time as i have

the healthy ones are eating, the yellowing one is not. another downfall to rdwc: not all plants uptake nutes at the same rate

thats the funny part PPM does not drop at all jsut for few days and stays absolutely same only thing that is lowering is a water

No matter what, even if you give all plants exact same conditions ask yourself do all seeds look the same and start the same?

if you could isolate the yellow plants, that would be great.
but to try to save all the plants, i would flush for 24hrs. that will break the nutrient lockout. and then start back on much lighter nutes.
if you don't do anything, that yellowing will be dead leaves in less than a week.

this is true but if you overfeed a plant that can't take it, you'll get nute burn which leads to lockout. the smaller plants coudlnt' handle the 1300. the bigger ones could. so really, the plants aren't getting the same conditions: one has too much nutes while the others dont

isolate u mean move them to another buckets ?

so let me ask you this , if u want to use full GH series u just cut recommended dose to half ? i used 75 % end end up at 1300
all you need is the floranova. go for maybe 2mL per gallon after you flush. then work up to 3, then 4, then etc. if the plants can handle it.
