Puzzling PH in Bubbleponics

Also with changing my res, and using tap water this time instead of distilled my Ph is still low with no added nutes
 
These pics were taken on the 31st. Since then I did a full res change and re-filled with straight tap water. No nutes added

This is them today. Getting worse. The smaller plants leaves were not yellow on Sunday. I am really starting to hate hydro.

Question are organic nutes such as Fox Farm ok in a DWC???

organics dont do as well ive seemed to notice...also do have an air pump running in your water....that will make your plants die.....
 
also if you do decide to change the ph make sure you only add small amounts at a time....example i use 1/2 cap fulls....ill add a cap full or a 1/2 cap full then ill wait 20-30 minutes..go check the ph again and repeat until i get where i want
 
Its getting hard not to give up. I have one growing in dirt that sprouted around the same time as these, and it looks really good compared to these.

DO you think I should keep going with these? DO they have a chance? I am really not worried about extended veg time
 
?? When ??

How big should they be before adding nuts?

I wait till they are around 5 to 6 inches tall with a big root structure.
So, O'Hydro Gods, how wrong am I?
I grow a lot of plants but that doesn't make me correct.

Very new to Hydro, tired of dirt all over the place.
 
I gave them 1/4 strength around 2 weeks old. Roots were about 4-6 inches. My PPM went up to 400, but I don't know if it was the nutes that burned them or the PH up I was using to get my PH to somewhat normal
 
KINDA LOOKS LIKE NUTE BURN TO ME.....JUST WAIT IT OUT IF YOU ARE NOT CONCERENED ABOUT VEG TIME.....MAKE SURE THE AIR STONES ARE MAKIN A GOOD AMOUNT OF AIR.....I DONT PERSONALLY USE AIR STONES...I JUST USE THE AIR LINE.....BUT I HAVE A BIG AIR PUMP...WATER LOOKS LIKE A JACUZZUI TUB:mrgreen:
 
Its definitely nute burn. I am trying to figure out whether the PH up caused it or the Fox Farm nutes. My air pump is pretty big for an Aquarium air pump. Cost me over $40.

SO I should leave it and it could work itself out
