I have root appearance problems I think... Here are the latest images.:
You do not want your root`s in the sun just get some black plastic and place over you tray
smell your root`s if it smell`s bad (rotten egg`s or dead fish ) you have a problem
the roots don't look bad it looks like it was just drained and the dust build up off the hydroton is all it looks like to me
did u wash ur clay good b4 u used them ??
Don't worry about your roots. They're fine. If you're really worried about it, try some canna/hygro/sensizyme to peel off the brown. But really, they're fine. You're killing these in 2-3 weeks anyway.
Looks like
A) Long term overfeeding
B) A Ca issue, possibly caused by longterm overfeeding.
I will do the inspection and proceed to cut a few strips of correx to cover the few light gaps, (I won't cover them totally, but as much as I can)Quote:

There should not be any dust build up from the clay pebbles as I spent copius amounts of time washing them in un-pH'd water (which had an effect on pH stability). But I'm not going to rule anything out totally as I understand that the clay begins to breakdown after a period of time.Quote:

Thanks for dropping a comment!! :thumbsup:
I will go visit the Dr @ the practice and see if she reccommends SensiZyme... I've used hygrozyme and it isn't half as good as voodoo. Part way through this week, after covering the top trays slightly, I will enquire further about the addatives u mentioned. But as you say, in around 3 weeks time the ladies are due to end.Quote:

Before the above two instances occured, all seemed pretty good.
Many thanks rhizome for dropping a comment!!! :thumbsup:
Well there's where you nute burn is coming from I think....if the problem isn't heat than it's nute burn or the result of a ph lockout...
I will keep flushing, while trying to again take control of the bugs...
I'm almost happy to say that despite the plants looking a little fried, they haven't shut down and stopped growing to my knowledge, although tha=ey could be developing slower??? I don't know really,,,
