did i kill my plants?

[TMusic]

I put this in the sick plant section but didn't get a response...

Last night at about 11 I tried to get the temp in my reservoir down by putting a pack of the flavored ice pops in the tank. I left them in there overnight and a couple of them leaked. The water was a little cloudy and everything is a little sticky.

They're 12 days old and about 2 or 2 1/2 inches tall.

One of the plants has a little brown spot in the middle of the leaf and they all look a little droopy.

What do I do?

5 plants from seeds
400w hps
drip system

Also, I'm using hydroton with rapid rooter plugs. Can I replace the water and nutes, water really good a few times with short periods in between and then resume with normal feeding or do I need to do something special.

I feel ridiculous......

All i can tell you is your growing medium is full of sugar, sweeteners, colorings and E #'s! Flush flush and flush again..

I've never grown using hydroponics, but I'll tell you what I can about your situation. You should know that the ingredients in freezer pops are mainly citric acid and sugar. Citric acid will lower your pH, and sugar may feed some of the microorganisms in your tank, but neither is dangerous to plants in moderation. I'm guessing the first step would be getting your pH back to normal. Good luck.

Do I flush it with pure water or nute water? ...and how often?

[mjdragon]

Well like i said i have no experience with the systems you are using, but I'd shy away from using nutrients. I don't really want to say much more because bad advice is not a good thing!

I'm basing my advice on my experiences with soil.

I've been giving them nutes the whole time, about 25%. I don't want to cut them all do I?

Here are a few pics.

The first one has a brown spot on the leaf, that showed up in the last 10 or 12 hours.

The biggest one's (last pic) leaves are twisting, this also just started in the last 10-12 hours.

All pics are of different plants...

Anything to this?

BTW...I really appreciate everyone's help!!! Thank you so much.

TM, you are growing hydro. You keep your posts there you will get more help. Many of the folks who have 'dro mastered only answer threads in the 'dro section. Just a heads up. Plus it irratates the shit out of people reading double posts and you may not get answered at all.
