Hi everyone,
I am less than new at this. I have been thrown into a hydro set-up. I have less than a clue what to do with this. My "guy" has been less than involved, and there have been many mistakes along the way. So, what I am left with now is the last month, they are flowering, small plants (pushed too soon to flower). The stems, are turning red, he has known about the problem for about 2 weeks, yet has failed to fix the problem. I am just trying to not kill them, because I do not know what to do to fix it myself. I keep trying to "research" but can not seem to find a step by step guide (ROFL) on what to do from step 1 week one to the last day, with nutrients especially.
The specific question I guess I have is how do I fix the red stems?
I have a 4x2 tray, using a pump and drain system, they are being watered 2x a day now. the ppm is around 600, he said to keep it there because they are small plants and doesn't want to "burn them", with over nutrients. I am pumping 20 gallons of water for 15 minutes (ppm 600-ph 6.3). 1000 wat hps, about 2ft from plants. light time is 11 on 13 off now. They are enclosed with panda all around, air conditioner, room kept at 75, h202 pumped into room.
I am even too paranoid to post here or talk to anyone, but I really need the help. If I have missed anything, please ask, I need the right advice.

I have clones that I am trying to root, but thats a whole other set of problems and questions I will address later.
