Hi there I transplanted a 5 week old cheese plant into DWC a week and two days ago under a 250w thought it was doing well but now it seems I have something wrong, this is my first grow so sorry if it's a simple answer :) DSC_0068~2.jpg DSC_0073.jpg DSC_0070.jpg DSC_0067.jpgDSC_0068~2.jpg DSC_0073.jpg

You should of just kept it in soil, In my opinion

It's not going to get the same amount of nutrients it did in soil, hydro also has a different ph range, which could be your problem here!

From what I can tell, it seems like an MG deficiency, I've had similar symptoms droopy-yellowing leaves in my DWC.
What's the ph of your water in the bucket?, an what nutes are you using?

Going soil to DWC is rough, good chance for root rot. I have never tried IONIC nutrients because they are missing elements. I cant find a product label to tell you what they are missing though, most likely Nickel, Boron, Cobalt.

hello hexthat iv just checked the label and says at the side of the compounds list that nickle, boron and cobalt are present. and vostok i dont think it can be burn as iv used 1/4 doses a few people have said it could be locking out some compounds, and did find my ph was really low, using a pen for ph now and got them level so fingers crossed she survives :) thanks again for the replys :)

I'd say you dump the res, an use just regular water PH'd at 5.8, in till you see the leaves lift up a bit, an you see new growth starting, than introduce the nutes at 1/4, with hydro plants react more quick than soil, so if you mess up in hydro it will show within like about 2-3 days
