DWC Plants seem to be becoming sick
Hey Blizzin. Theyre lookin pretty damn good to me. Yeah, you have some issues with the little brown patches and Im not sure whats causing it. They are deffinatley big enough to flower.
Is this your first grow? You probably already said but I didnt spot it. If it is... you are going to be suprised by how much upward growth you get when u switch to 12/12.
In a couple of my past grows, I had small issues similar to yours. When I put them into 12/12 tho, it was as though they got a new lease of life and there appearence dramatically improved. I know it's better to address any problems before going into flower but the problems you have look to be pretty mild. Honestly... they look nice to me.
I've only ever grown in soil and that has given me a much wider error margin than using a DWC/Hydro setup. Keep us posted on your on grow :thumbsup:

Your plants look pretty good, with some early lockout symptoms, and the scorchy nasty low leaves are showing what looks to me like a problem stemming from your 'drinking water' whcih likely has sodium in it. BAD for plants! Locks out other nutes. But the plants look good. The few small tan/rust patches I see look like potassium lockout. That can be caused by the sodium too. Teh pale stripes on some leaves look like a Mg def/lockout.
You got a bottle of GH micro? Spray n Grow? Algoflash? Put a teaspoon in a quart of water in a spray bottle and use that, lightly, a couple times and the problems will go away. I don't know what your foliar spray is- never heard of a waterfarm nute- but you need a good Micro foliar.
What's wrong with your tap water? Jsut curious.
I'd flower them out asap because that system looks like it was designed for flowering clones and your plants are still going to get much bigger!

Too late to edit, but ppm and plant size are not necessarily correlated- just because a plant is LARGE does not mean it can feed more heavily than a plant of a different strain.

Thanks stinky. I got GH Micro so ill use in foiler spray very lightly. My tap water i am totally unsure of but im pretty sure its bad tastes like shit and told not to drink excessivly so who knows but the distilled water I buy says sodium free? so who knows but anyways plants will be starting 12/12 tonight see how the girls do. thanks again for help guys ill keep updating pics.

What Stinky said......:D
The rest of the pics really do help. I agree 100% with Stinkster that generally the plants look good and the issue is your bottled water and some early lockout symptoms.
Also....consider a good product for root health. I personally like Cannazym which helps ward off root rot but consider SOME quality root product. The roots are very easy to forget since we don't see them alot.....but believe me and TAKE CARE OF YOUR roots.
Dont forget your Calmag if going with RO or disttilled.
Good luck.
Oh...and thanks veggii. :)

Veggii, you're not real smart, huh? Blizzin's first post doesn't say anything about using micro or all three parts of GH. Read the post again and see where it says "I am useing General Hydroponics nutrients as stated on bottle for veg growth."
Duh.
Lowering your ppm as suggested by weedhound will kill those plants. What is so capable about weedhound?
