First Grow: WW-3 tent-DWC/MegaGarden:+rep to all

Sorry to see your wilted widows, they were doing so good to.
First thing I thought of was to ditch the shield but then I read you have. Well, flushing and moving them out of their environment was a change then when they went back with the A/C thats a change too. How about shut off the A/C put the lights back where they were (they were doing fine) cut the nutrients by half and add some air to the water.

Thats what I would do anyways.

Thanks Cruzer! That's similar to what my husband called n told me to do earlier. I've shut off the ac. So I need to cut the nutrients by half and add more airstones??

Yep, I would wanna recreate the environment they had with lite nutes to be safe and more air to get the dissolved oxygen up a bit till they straighten out.
Then I would burn one and relax. Ya did all you can do right?

Yes, I've done all I can lol I think they will bounce back just fine. U r right, time to burn and relax Thanks for all the wonderful advice!

You using R/O water?


You adding CalMag?

Looks like a lack of Magnesium.


But it sounds like you got a lot of new untested shit going on reading your last few posts, so it could very well be one of the more 'complicated' issues...

Yes we are using RO water and calmag. I still think it's where they sat n water for too long w out airstones. Or at least that's what I'm hoping. As far as the new stuff, we've used the shield on the BS before n never this much droop. The new portable AC is only going to improve things surely??

Are you adding Magnesium & calcium into your water AFTER it goes through the R/O? Though?? That was my main question

I have filtered water off my tap, and even then I need to add Calcium and Magnesium back into it..




this is a photo of a plant thats starting to have mag def. issues in veg.... obviously the yellow will overtake the pictured leaf eventually... also I see plants def. in mag dont seem as strong, like they dont want to stand up all the way... then when I correct the mag issue they are perky and firm again!


Check this GREAT thread out for some reallly good information. Keep it bookmarked for easy access to an extensive reference and resource!

How long was it sitting in non air stoned water?

Oh fuck. I missed this! LOL I just wanted to make sure! <3

I think cruzer hooked u up with some good info.

As your res temps rise, oxygen is depleted, they could be starved of oxygen.

Is your new ac unit lowering your humidity a lot?

Yea Im hoping that's the case. And as far as humidity, earlier it was at 40% so maybe lowered a little but not much.

oh the woes of hydroponics.........

this is why i'm sticking to soil until I figure evvvvverything else out!

Portable AC

Thats a sexy portable a/c ya got there momma.

How are the girls today?

Thnk you for askin Cruzer! The one that was in the worst shape still looks pretty bad, the others are the same. Definitely not any better this am like I was hoping. They aren't brown or anything but they are just so lifeless. Ugh I feel like my actual child is sick lol. Everyone keeps telling me to give it a few days. Can they recover from such extreme wilting??

Well they can but honestly in hydro they usually respond real quick, like a couple hours... Well thats just if they were low on water too.
The combination of pruning, flushing and the shield may have stressed them a bit more then I thought and they need more time to recover.

The good news is it sounds like they are not getting any worse.

my kinda guy (glass is half full). and im with Cruzer I dont see why they wouldnt come back and am surprised they havent already. and you could try giving them a 1/2 strength foiler feed to see if that helps.

and this may be a stupid question but do you have an air gap between the bottom of your net pot and the water level?

Thanks Cruzer and yes NL there is an air gap shud I raise the water level??

what up gm thats a nice a/c unit u got, mind if i ask how much or where from? and if you've been using it how do you like it? and if you wouldn't mind giving me the amps and wattage.. i'm in the market for one well 2 actually.. thanks!

it was 300? Maybe lol. I know its a 10000 btu not sure on wattage I'll have to ask him. We like it just because now we don't have to have ducts ran to the closet n it will keep rest of house cooler by doin that. It hasn't been tested n any high heat yet but I imagine it will cool the shit outta our small space!
