So I bought these rooted clones and put them into my DWC for root development for later NFT use. That was yesterday. I am devastated that one night can turn beautiful clones into this.
I am running 0.3EC. My PH is very unstable. It is rising from 5.8 to 7 in 5 hours using 50/50 RO and Tap water.
The rockwool cubes are soaking wet and I think that is my problem. I am using 2 air stones with an airpump and two circulation pumps. Please help me.

I usually add enzymes later on. Should i add some now? I would have to spray the rockwool again making it more wet. So they are just too wet? That was my first guess also. Any ways to get them dry faster? I am putting on my fan now.
The water should be about 2" below the net pot or you will drown them in that rockwool

What nutes ya using, any enzyme stuff like hydroguard and z7

No

You add it to the water. the bubbles splash water on the roots or cubes

But the enzyme is to keep goopies down in your tub/water

You add your nutes into the tub right, not pouring on the cubes??

Yeah I pour the nutes into the res. If my rockwool is too wet shouldnt I get them out of the dwc again to let them dry for a bit before putting them back in? Because the bubbles keeping the blocks wet and they are literally soaked.

Try to peal away as much of the rockwool that you can without harming the roots too much...piece by piece...i use tweezers sometimes...then put back into your hydroton and lower the water a little more.
This will help them get some air they need and they should get enough moisture from the water still.
They look like they may have been sprayed with something and or the lights too close...only time I've seen plants do that so quickly.
