make sure theres not even a faint of light in your bubbler or your plants roots will refuse to grow and rot...your pots look like there transparent and will let alittle light in...especially when you have a 600 watt mh over them...you can duct tape, cover it with mylar or paint it. just make sure it really dark in there under your light. i would suspect this is your problem if you have everything else right....your light is fine your temp is fine ph is fine your bubbles is fine...i dont know what else it could be cept light is seeking into the bubbler.

Thanks, cutting up some black-out and sheeting over the top of the tube and ill try n do around them too. That should make them completly light proof :-o

The humidity is low... 22% Stak dont know how to sort that out yet.

Definatly an improvement, leaves starting to perk up and the roots are speading out a little too.



Rcope47, have you had any improvements atall? I'm far from experienced but I have been reading up on growing for a couple of years. It sounds like you've got nute lock on your roots, even with 1/4 strength you'll get nute burn because the roots are taking too much of certain nutes and none or very little of others and that imbalance will give nute burn. If I'm wrong or explained it badly I'm sure someone can help... Hang in there bud.

Did a res change today, straight water Phd to 5.8 no nutes, set my water pump on a timer, 15 min every 4 hours, didnt see any algae...we'll see what happens, they look like shit, pretty wilted, should I back the lights off? I have abot 220W CFL on em, mixed spectrum, fan blowin....you know I had nutes in the tank for the last 5 days and they were looking good, and then....wham....! I dont get it I guess, I also have two round air disks going with a pump connected to each...:wall:

Have you got any pics? I dont think 220W CFL would be too much. I've had the 600W mixed Grolux and a 150W CFL ..... actually it might be 200W from 2 week old cuttings (maybe a lil overkill thinking about it). Fingers crossed for ya bud :eyesmoke:

the magic is in distilled water. Youll see an improvement in a day, go low strength on your nutes to start. Go to walmart/target. Its my best investment
