looks like a phosphorous deficiency to me ... add a dose of Tiger Bloom to your solution in the reservoir, and mix a 1/2 strength spray bottle of same, for foliar feeding (spray both sides of the leaves, early in the 'morning' period, while the pores are open) ... the bad leaves will continue to look bad, but the plant will be OK ... that sure is a nice-looking plant, otherwise ... Mike breeds some great gear :thumbsup:
I'd also think about the fact that these plants obviously were doing quite well (big healthy leaves and plant despite current issues) so that makes me SERIOUSLY wonder about the possiblity of rootbound plants......They do look a smite worse and no better.....we should have seen some improvment by now.
Colour you need to realize that with plants MANY symptoms MIMIC each other. Often times diagnosis is figured by trying things one by one and seeing what works. Welcome to hydro!
PS....My personal thought....rootbound at this point......they DO show defs....but I don't think that is your real problem right now. How do the roots look?
Weedhound - Yea hydro has given me a huge slap with the hand of reality. And, again, you bring up a very interesting point...I'm going to post some pictures of the roots to show what I mean..
1) Sicko, 2) Not Sureo
Liquid Karma also makes roots look like shit, but doesn't harm them ... check for that :jointsmile:Quote:

I'll match you sir and raise you one. :D Your roots look EXTREMELY sad and diseased and tied in a big knot to me. I just had this EXACT same issue with my power plant.
More space....quick.
Hydrogen peroxide....quicker....like yesterday.
If using store bought 3% H202 go with 2 teaspoons a gallon every other day.
Google up "root rot." I'm betting 2 DOLLARS its a space issue. :D
it COULD be root-rot, but just because its brown and gloppy-lookin' (it could just be the Liquid Karma) ... ya gotta gimmee some time, Weedie, just a few more aluminum cans, and I'll match yer $2 :D ...Quote:

On it! You all have been stellar. I stopped giving them LK a couple res changes ago so I'd say the color is coming from that.
Updates in a few!
Colour:clap:
Colour,
Don't forget areating.......critical for roots hanging in water constantly.
Good luck!
