Plant: Nirvana Bubbilicious
Nutes: Hollands Secret (3 Part, the first veg cycle)
Grow Medium: 4" Rockwool Cubes, using non-active (passive) hydroponics
Days In: 17

Issue: Yellowing leaves at the tips. I believe it may be a Phosphorus deficientcy

Looks like they might need more food than what you are giving them. Maybe some grow formular.

Rockwool retains water, if the cubes are sitting in 1" of water, they may as well be sat in 5". They are drowning. IMHO..... No water in ya table, hand water every 3-4 days until roots break through rockwool. Put your 4" cubes ontop of a secondary medium (hydroton or coir) and then flood your table but not let the flood level hit the cubes. Your roots will be doing the drinking while upper roots in rockwool will be sucking up o2, more importantly not drowning.

I've drained all the water this morning.. I'll check the plants when I get home in 2hrs.. That will give it 11hrs with wet rockwool ..no sitting water...
