Day 3 - Indoor DWC. HELP ! NO new leaf growth !

Hope all is well. First time DWC growth. Germ 12/10/16 via Rapid rooter - 32 watt fluorescent - 9 day SM. Dome, 7 day BG. Dome - 16th day transfer via 2.75gallon 3 gallon Food grade bucket 8in MESH -300watt HPS light - 16/8. 4 PLANTS total. Nutes - Technaflora - Grow 1.5mL , Bloom .75mL , B-1 RED .25mL , MagiCAL .25ml, sugarPAPI 1.0mL lol. PPM start was 85 after nutes 122PPM. H20 BUCKET temp 86.8F. Ph. 6 1 but fluctuates during the day as high as 7.1. Adjusted using Ph down to Ph. 5.8. Need HELP no new growth on leaves. Rapid ROOTERS all touch bottom of MESH. Using hydroton CLAY pebbles as a medium that were thoroughly washed prior to transfer. What do i do ? WAIT it out or what ? Tell me i need LEAVES !! requesy photos please !!! 1 Critical 3 Sweet tooth

Pics?

What would you like too see exactly ?

Your grow setup... the flowers you have going...?

If your temps inside the bucket is 86 your headed for problems. Nute temps should be around 70. High temps will definitely slow growth,among other problems.

Apparently your correct. I am trying all I can to keep the temperatures low. I'm aware as too why this has occurred. I will avoid it on my next res change tomorrow. I have been adding droplets of tarantula to avoid bacteria growth during the meanwhile. Root check for 5 plants were fine, 1 plant has a root with a flubbed looking coating. I removed that washed the net and added an extra droplets of tarantula. The bad root I found was discovered before adding tarantula, that is what induced the idea that I add a "Bennie".

lol yea man no issue they'll be waking up soon. Lights are off. Sweet & critical

If there's one thing about hydro that is the most critical characteristic of the grow, it is root zone temp. Especially running DWC. Colder water = denser water = more dissolved oxygen. As you drift towards higher temps you also create excellent breeding grounds for the wrong kinds of microbes.
That being said, dropping your root zone temp by 15 degrees Fahrenheit all at once will do a whole lot more damage. I would recommend resetting your reservoir with clean water and SOS at a degree lower, and just dropping your res temp 1 degree Fahrenheit every 12 hours until you get closer to 70-73. If you don't have the means for that, then invest in a water chiller, or send em to coco.

Thank you for making the time and effort to respond. I have theories that have coincided with your advice. I was adding low temp waters at a minimal proportion. To avoid damaging roots. I was also waiting until tomorrow being my 10th day due for reservoir change to rectify the water temperature. Which has become a problem only considering that when I began my transfer I temped the water @85.6 like a fool. I am confident that will my plans I will be avoiding this issue in my next res change. Again I appreciate your information. It has confirmed my own plans. I'm glad that I'm individually aware of what needs t get done and that my responders are giving accurate information that coincides with me ideas. That just confirms I'm on the right page. I have not yet have had any rot with the excpetion of o e root with a flub since I've been facing water temp issues. I also have been adding tarantula. Thanks

Still no pics of your grow?

Honestly I kept contemplating on why you would need that, I posted photos in my other forum but folks had given reasons... Ima attach a photo for you bud below. I'm eager to discover what you'll respond from seeing it lol. Hopefully your ambitions are for a good cause ....

Just wanted to see your setup. I'm nosey and if I'm going to read a thread... especially about growing and cannibus. I wanna see pics dammit lol. Looks like you got a nice little setup man. All the luck to you and your grow. Are you currently growing anything. Clones, veg, flower? Here's a photo of what I'm currently looking at. Some alien og. 27 days in. Sharing is caring!!
