I hope someone can help me fast before I lose my babies.

Iâ??m using Hydroponics DWC system. Using General Hydroponic Flora nutes. 160w daylight fluorescents to start. 6â?? by 8â?? bathroom. Strain = Soma Lavender.

pH= 6.0
Humidity 15-25. (should I get a humidifier to get it up to 50-60?)
Room temp 68-78
Water temp 75 (should this be more around 68?)

I made two mistakes (pics below) #1 I over fertilized my young rooted clones, G.H. 3-2-1 TDS=842, solution.
#2, water level in DWC too high so root stem and grow plug were under water.

Two day ago I removed plants from bubbler, went back to manual flood 3 times a day in 2-2-1 solution of TDS 250. ( dip pots in the 250 solution for 10 seconds).
Yesterday (12/26) I flushed the 3â?� pots with Water only and put them under the dome.


WHAT CAN/SHOULD I DO?
Continue with manual F/D? (I dip them in solution for 10 seconds 3-4 times a day in a 2-2-1 TDS-250 mix).
Pull the plugs out of the pots and treat them like clones? (Dome/no dome?)(mist/no mist?)(heatpad/no heatpad?)
Put Plants back into Bubbler? If so, where should the water come up too? (bottom of pot?, bottom of grow plug? Somewhere in between?) (dome/no dome?)


These are pics from yesterday. Is it too late to save them?
Thanks for reading. I hope I gave enough info. Steve.

The water should be just touching the bottom of the net pots and it should be FULL of bubbles.

I would just take a deep breath and do less. 1/2 nutes on your current schedule. Just give it a few days. If you don't see new growth in a week I would consider dropping them into some starter soil to see if they start up that way.

Just remember, whatever you do is going to take some time to affect the babies. So don't panic or over-help them. Time works wonders. Next time don't burn the babies force-feeding them steak dinner when they just want a little boob.

Thanks for your response. Right now their back into the bubbler (water at bottom of pots). Plain pH 6.0 water. I use G.H. Floro neuts. would you recomend like a 2-2-1 TDS=250 solution? (or something like that?) Mist them? put under Dome? When I see roots coming out the bottom of pots, raise nutes? Thanks

Honestly, I am not the best source for detailed information, I haven't grown hydro in years.

When I had problems like yours I just went to minimal nutes and tried to leave them alone. Your water temps should be ok. Have you checked to see the difference between night and day temps in your reservoir?

Thanks man, Plants are looking better. Still have in plain pH 5.8 water. Their back on the boobie where they belong...lol. Been on water 4-5 days now, thinking on doing a 3-2-1 TDS 250 solution soon and keep an eye on them.
