Hey everybody-

My Nirvana White Widows seem to go from problem to problem.

Here is the latest pics. If I compare previous pictures they are growing in height but I think they are not thriving. Also, looking at those roots I think there is a problem. The brown was from a previous organic nute, but the roots seem to be shriveling and not really developing out.

Here's what's been going on: I tried it at 600 PPM nutes, and the nutes climed overnight. So I kept adjusting the nutes down until they wouldn't climb, currently I am at roughly 400 ppm from a base of 78. Got cal mag in there and a two part nute. pH is at 5.2.

What does everyone think?

You mentioned your pH was 5.2, what does it climb to each day? You have at least a nitrogen deficiency and that is probably pH-related. Nitrogen is absorbed in a hydroponic system from about 5.5-9.0, so if you are always around 5.2, you will not be absorbing what is necessary.

Is your nutrient solution being aerated enough?

Some people have excellent luck with them, but beware that it is a difficult plant. More so than some of the beginner strains.

Hey, My WW's have been a cake walk!

My guess is nutrient lockout due to your pH. You want your pH to be around 5.7 or so. Anything below 5.5 starts causing lockout, which can lead to several deficiencies. Get your pH right and see what happens then.
