having serious probs...

this is my fkn 7th plant to fkn die....at 1st we thought we had mites but after a full check it was clean. Then someone reckoned we may have scaribfly...so we stripped out the room, cleaned it and sprayed the room and left it for a couple of hours before kicking it all off again. Now someone ( has been growing many many years) reckons that it is over watered??
We were into our 4th week of bloom. The night before, everything was looking sweet...really good. next day the plant has fkn died....all leaves just completely wilted over nite.
So we have flushed thru with fresh water,oxyplus and bounce back, made a fresh batch of nutrient up, all cf levels and ph levels all spot on. Hoping it will make a come back. And put the pump on a timer so water once every hour for 10 - 15mins
Our growing medium is 50% perlite and 50% coco peat.
Has anyone else had this same problem and can anyone help. Almost ready to fkn give up now as its now costing us a shite load of $$ for nutrient with 0 (zero) return.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Sorry to hear about your problems. You did pick a hard method to start, but that doesn't do you anygood raggin on you.

Sounds either like they drowned, there is no overwatering in hydro. They sit in water for too long and drown. Or they got too cold. one of my bro's just called and had the very same problem. the last few nights it got alittle cold here but last night it was cold. I ask him to check the water temp and it was46 degrees. He did not think he needed the little fish tank heater you can adjust the temp on. I found out the hard way too. but they went overnight. Even drowning ones if caught soon will make it. If it's not the cold then dry it out. Cut way back on watering for a day or untill it pearks up.

Cheers for that. Water temp is good, been using 1 of those heaters thru our winter months but weather here is heating up again...30-40 degrees celcius during the day and high teens early 20's at nite.
Thanks for your help, Ive been doing nothing different top what i did on my 1st 2 plants which we pulled 52 oz's off dry. As I said earlier, the water pump is now on a timer so get 10 - 15 minutes water every hour.

do u have any pics of your previous plants... 52 dry ounces on two plants is a hell of a lot. I would definitely like to see the plants that did that.

Sounds like you have the bases covered. Pictures would shurely help.

Drowning or burning up is the only other thing I have seen that would take them out that fast in hydro. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Is this E&F or drip system?? Either way I think Loc is hitting the nail on the head
