Bubble buckets....

i dont know whats wrong...i put my 2x2 inch rock wool cubes in my bubble bucket set up but i started to get some sort of nute deficiency...ny plants were about 3 weeks old and about 6 inches tall and very bushy....i cant tell is the rock wool cubes are staying too wet or if i have really done something wrong...my girst grow was actually in a bubbler and i had great growth ...but the ones i have in there now seem somewhat sickly ...im using flora nova grow...floroliscious pluss...hygrozyme and another root stimulator/pathogen killer...
they grew very healthy and bushy when i had them in just the rock wool but about 3 days after being in the bubblers ...they started to look poor ...any sudgestions...??

Can you fill out the troubleshooting form.....got any photos?

Actually you're burning them, not deficient. So it probably is a case of nutrient lock. You could try to flush the water for a few days then slowly bring your nutes back up and the plant will do just fine.

Don't worry about anything long term, this plant will not be effected and will be a good producer once it recovers.

BTW, most enzymes are NOT compatible with bubblers. So I'm not sure if you have bacteria cultures in your stimulator but if you do, then you definately need to flush.

Also, what air stone are you using? I looks like really good bubbles.

They are definitely burned, too many nutrients.

You also planted them too deeply in the netpots. From those pictures, it looks like about half of your plants is below the top of the pot.

funny thing is ...im using the same nute mix that i use on the ones in the 2x2 cubes and the 4x4 cubes...so basically your saying i need a lower strength nute solution for bubble buckets than i do for my flood and drain pots and the ones that are in the rock wool cubes that i water by hand...those are all doing great ...i did also place the rock wool cubes the 2x2 ones directly on the floor on the net pot ....and i had the nutes just barely touching the bottom of the net pot so that when the bubbles were on it would splash onto the bottom of the rock wool cube...when i saw some roots i gradually lowered the water level but the rockwool cube seemed to stay satturated with nutrients and very wet....and the plants had also developed the discoloration and sickly appearance.
P.S.
My water ppm is about 26-40 out the tap...im using >1 tps of floranova grow ....2 tps of hygrozyme.....<1/4 tps of root accelerator ...and <1/4 tps of floraliscious plus ...per gallon of 9.0 ph water ....which i have to ph up to 5.8-6.2 using ph using ph up....

im using (2) 5 inch airstones per bucket...each or my air pumps has 4 outlets so im using 2 outlets per bucket....[attachment=o179593]

the big ones are ak47 and burmese kush...the little ones are white widow ...power plant and white ice...they are all very healthy and bushy...the one single plant on the bucket is how the (3) i have in bubble buckets looked when i first put them in ...all of the little ones are female seed...the big ones are almost 7 weeks old and im well in to sexing them out...so far only 1-2 true blue males...out of the 9 plants ...(5) ak47 serious seed ...and (4) burmese kush TH Seeds...the one in the cup is a female power plant seed still in the starter cube...the first time i grew was in a bubbler and it went in straight from the starter cube...and they grew really well...

Turns out it was a poison hydrohut...!

That will do it every time!
