My plant seems to be dying again. What does this look like? First photo was taken the day before the wilt. As soon as the third set of true leafs started to grow, dead, just like any of my previous attempts.
I sprayed it with RO water after I noticed the wilt, which is why it will looks shiny.
Well, to base an educated diagnosis, there is much more information needed eg: pH, feeding cycle, what the N-P-H of your nutrients is, what dilution you are using, how often you flush your reservoir, the sterility of the equipment, etc. The foul smell could be attributed to a number of things like mold & mildew, over abundance of salts in the feeding system, or organic hand-feed fertilizer rotting in the feeding system. If you go through and post the troubleshooter we might be able to get a firmer grasp of what's going on here.

What's you bucket setup? Your roots might not be getting enough oxygen... And I didn't use nutes at all in mine untill it was almost six inches tall. Just straight RO water with my ppms at onehundred and my ph at 5.6
I raise my ppms to one fifty or two hundo when I start adding nutes.
Other than the wilting its not discolored, or burned on the leaves, so its not nutrient burn...
We need more info like jsg said...

:wtf: Not another funeral from the same house! Hard to believe. Maybe you need to re-evaluate the strain you are growing and the ease of its growth. Some strains are just friggin difficult to grow and prone to problems. And do not do well with hydro! Next time, take picture before you do anything. Start your grow log in here and ask questions up front! What a disappointment!
A lot of people here to help you avoid that!
At this point, maybe try some bagweed seed? If you are going to stick with Hydro?:rasta: Can't believe your thumb needs some fertilizer to turn green. Sorry to see this happen again!
What strain is this one?
These are all ruderalis hybrids. This was a white widow but the other ruderalis was a blueberry.
I'm actually doing aeroponics now mixed with fogoponics. The sprayers go off every 10 and the fogger goes off every 4 minutes. I had some droopiness in the beginning and found that dialing it at that level made them perk up. This droopiness I have now happened within a very short amount of time.
PH was 5.6 yesterday. (found that I was fluctuating .4 up per day) Used all new hydroton. PPM was 240 and I used clean xnutrients this time instead of fox farms but at 1/4 strength. Both their grow and micro-nutrient formulas.
Also from the last grow everything was sanitized well and I even upgraded to a proper tent with good ventilation.
I have no bag seeds but will try a feminized AK47 next.
Wait before you try anything else! We have some experienced hydro people around and post in that section and ask questions before you do anything! O.K.?
I haven't seen some of the real old timers in there very often, but they are more apt to give you a clue of what to do. Start out asking them if this strain is a good one for hydro. I have never done a hydro.
And read up in the hydro threads. I read enough there to scare me into dirt forever!
You gave it nuts already?
The troubleshooting form is in the signature of bigsby, Cangroit, I think Pushit and many others. Start with that and your intentions and get off on the right foot before you start anything else!
Oh, it is about 4 doors down!
Too much water maybe,... Id deff repost in the hydro forum though
I'm still gettin the hang of things, but I'm interested to know the cause.
I posted this form for my next grow attempt. Any comments/suggestions would be helpful.

here is how the system looks
When I pulled the plant out I noticed that the rapid rooter I had it in was extremely wet. Could that be the cause of the problem? Is it possible that that constant moisture retaining part kills the plant?
While taking the system apart to clean and disinfect it, I noticed that the solution has some really weird slimy stuff growing in it. What is that? Is that what could be killing my plants? How do I combat it?
