PLEASE HELP

[HEMPSHAWN]

whats goin on guys and gals. k well here is my problem. i have 1 plant currently that i am growing. had 4 but now 1 (THANKS TO MY DOG) that is 3 1/2 weeks into veg. ive dealt with a lil nute burn before and some stunting but this is a new one on me. I am using a continuous drip hydroponic system. using aquarium rock as a medium due to the lack of water retention. cfl at 150 total wattage. i do have a fan. and my ph is at 7.1 which i know is high but my question to those of you who care is did i correctly diagnose the problem as nute burn and am i taking the proper steps in reversing the damage. i have removed all nuitrient filled water from my reservoir and just started them on plain water, plan to leave them in the h20 solution for 3-7 days all depending on if she pulls through ( i say she because my hopes are high, lol) Ive grown outdoor and inddor with soil but this is my first go round with hydroponics. i have atached some pics to allow you to better understand my issue. all comments and advice are more than welcome. not sure if the pic quality is up to par 4 you and i apolagize, my camera is that of an x-box 360 live cam.

No offense, but I think I'd go back to soil. I know that doesn't fix your plant as it is, but the pics need to come up bigger so people can see details. Don't how to help you with that.

well that doesnt really help me at all but good looking out polish. Anyone out there who can give me some advice that will be beneficial would be appreciated. I do think i have made the right choice because after i flushed em last night and changed the water in my reservoir the new growth that was starting out yellow is now going back to green. i hope im actually seeing improvement and not a fluke. Also is anyone else able to get a really skunky smell from your plant in veg. when you bend them stems at the top 1/2 of the plant a lil.?

I'm not a hydro grower but they look a bit small for nutes though, and definetly get your ph down! They won't pull through unless you've got your ph right.

yea, from my understanding was that i was supposed to give them nutes off the rip, in very small doses becaseu the minerals that are normally found in soil are not present in h20, atleast not the main 3, some micro nutes are in tap depending on where you live. i need to find a decent place to get supplies, ive been checking out indoor garedens a lil and they seem to have what i need. kinda workin on a budget so i dont want to get the digital tester, i do have a ph thing that tells me where its at, just no ph up or down.

update on pics, technically still day one cause its been less than 24hrs.

I think it will recover, it looks like there was some nutrient lock out. Do you know what your Ph was with nutes?

[HEMPSHAWN]

i know it had to be to high cause now with just reg. tap its till at 6.9-7, unless my tester ius fucked, but im not sure if this is normal because it seems like everything is coming back now, which is definantly a good thing, and the smell is still confusing me, none of my other plants have ever had a smell this early in veg, light skunky ass smell. Is this normal????? I truley do appreciate everyones input and will continue this post cause i am a hydro nube and im not ignorant, i do realize that i do not know everything there is to know, so any and all advice will be taken with upmost gratitude. And if there are any moederators/ site developers---THANK YOU!!!! I am truley grateful that you would take the time to help out fellow growers. that is one thing that i feel is definantly influenced by mary jane, the ability to be compassionate when chaos is prevelent. so again thank you, sorry to get off subject but please keep the advice coming.

Different pheno's produce a varity of smells.

Hydro is more difficult to dial in compared with soil, I went back to soil after a few hydro's. Much better taste IMO

i kinda figured at this point the plant will go through to much shock from hydro to soil, is it possible to do so without damage?
