sick clones

I don't, at 6.3 I'm a touch high, but that's how it comes out of the tap and settles with the nutrients and the plants don't seem to mind. You can buy ph up and ph down from the hydro shop, for soil growers dolomite lime increases the ph and gypsum lowers it.

hi dj,

 

So long as ya have a bit of new growth ya should be ok.

Sounds like a similar set up to mine with 15 mins on every hour. I also use half strength nutes at first.

Ref ph levels I run hydro at 5.5 - 5.8 ph. I believe it is higher for soil about 6.3 but in hydro optimum is definitely 5.5 - 5.8 (5.8 for veggin & drop to 5.5 for fruitin I've been told)

Let us know how ya go.

Cheers,

Budsta

my ph levels were'nt that good (at 7.0) but that should'nt worry it to much should it

 

Yes, you need to get your ph down asap, I run mine at 6.3.

I too had this problem with my clones. You must stop nutrients, Flush with water give superthrive or vitamin B Move the light right up for 24 hours or even turn them off & leave a normal light on. Then you dont interupt the photo period. It gives them total rest. The roots on them babys are proberly a bit cooked. I then mixed up a tiny bit of clone fast & water. I poured this on my plants near the roots. No shit those babys were dying it didnt matter what i did. After i tried this experiment I would do it again. What have you got to loose. Dont give any nutes until they start comming good. This time mist clone or ultra weak nutes to keep alive. Only mist in the dark period. Hope this may be of help to you.
