Hey guys, few photos of problems i have been having
Not sure if i got early signs of root rot and nute burn but it cant be cause the others are not burnt and they all have the same nutrients.

Looks good to me......Are the nutes staining your roots? If you are NOT using a nute that is dark in color it could be a concern, but aside from the slight staining they look healthy......Is the leaf that is damaged drooping into the left over feeding water? Are you foliar feeding with nutes? That and being too close to the light can cause that.

Looking gd Steve, I'd agree with 5chord, if its only that leaf I'd say its been damaged in some way.Light or nute burn by being splashed is the probable cause.

Hey guys, i realised my big plant was showing Cal + Magne deficiency and i couldnt under stand why because i put 1/2 strength Cal + Magne in the mixture, so then i check the PH and it went all the way up to 7.1 which obviously not good for DWC hydroponics. (any Advice when it comes to PH going up and going down would be great)
Im not 100% sure why it went up but all 4 buckets went up abd some roots havent even submerged in to the water yet, also have pruned some leaves to encourage top growth and hopefully help it to grow vertically and the results are showing already. Here are a few pictures of whats going on:

Hey Steve,
What makes you think the plant is Cal + Mag deficient? It looks pretty good here........I wonder why your little guys are still so little?
Check your PH everyday.....It's not so important now as it will be when you flower because your plants won't feed much during veg and you still got some vegging to do......Use any commercial PH up-down......You don't need much and you will probably use more down than up......I use a cap-full of either to adjust 8 gallons. Get a decent PH meter and make sure you calibrate it. If you get used to stabilizing your PH now, your plants will thank you later

I got all that fella £40 PH Pen and ph up and down, i started at 5.8 and it went up to 7.1 and i wanted to know why, you cant see it in the picture but i can see early signs of cal magne deficiency
Steve, I have to adjust pH every 2 or 3 days. I start around 5.6 and it drifts up to around 6.5 and I drop it down agian. Same thing in my Rock Wool rez. It's okay to have a curve of pH that you use. Different nutes are consumed at different Ph ranges.
But like 5 chord said, I see no evidence of low cal or burn. I wouldn't get crazy with trimming either. When the roots hit the rez, you'll get all the top growth you want! Lol. Ph change happens overnight in DWC. I check it every day as 5 chord said. If you plan on doing this for a while, a monitor for your rez is beyond helpful! You can literally watch your girls eat.

Hello 420 Growers,
Another update comming to you from 420Steve on the OG Kush ladies, been doing alot of experimenting recently and hit a few amature errors which i will get into shortly also have given them another feed @1/2 strength (i know this might be a little low but will increase in next weeks feed to full, better safe then sorry).
Some lush white roots here, loving how this plants roots are comming along, i recently check the PH and it was really high so i lowered it to 5.8 then checked on it 4 hours later and i noticed something wasnt right the roots started to get darker and all i did was adjust the PH, so i recalibrated the PH pen then checked it and the PH was @4.5 OMG lesson learnt just glad i noticed before any real damage could be done.
This is the oldest plant roots witch have come along way since my last post, the plant is starting to grow very quickly and probably will be ready for flower in 1 more week however i am going to keep her going for another 3 more weeks due to moving around and i dont want to enduce flowering yet because it will be disturbed. Still worried about the roots as they slowly start turning brown but i think this is because the PH was low not sure still learning.
Few more pictures of the other little babies slowing catching up with the mother:
Starting to find it more and more easier to keep the humidity around 50% as the plants get bigger which before it was like 20% so overal im happy.
So before i started i calibrated the PH pen and the CF pen to get an accurate reading few photos below:
CF 11 (704ppm)
PH level 5.7
Hydro grow A + B - 25ml
Take root ----------- 10ml
Multi Total ---------- 10ml
Cal + Magne -------- 10ml
When i was adjusting the PH these white typoons started to appear i was fascinated so i took a photo to show you guys

One of my plants are showing early signs of flower is this possible under a 600w MH 18 on 6 off? This is the free seed that came with my OG Kush seeds and im going to guess its a autoflower! :'( i cant put my babies under 800watt HPS untill sat next week!

Hey guys update again and WOW have they exploded, it has been up and down with the water temperture, i find my self having to add ice to bring down the temperatures because im so scared of root rot since 2 of my plants are stunted and forever infected, however 2 plants that are comming along nicely but i believe one is starting to flower.
So to combat the water tempertures i got these little digital thermometer to help me manage this (4x =£10) Bargin:
Trained her nice and early and she is rewarding me for it, look at that stem! i accidently snapped one of the main branches man handling her so i used a cable tie to assist with her healing.
Look at the canopy, i am still vegging her untill next week then i will put her into flower, she has been vegging for nearly 2 months now and this is because of personal commitments:
Could some one tell me if she is starting to flower? isit possible to flower with a MH 18 on 6 off?
These 2 plant i am going to destroy :'(
