I am in week seven of my second round using my DWC system. This crop was just all kinds of problems and I am trying to pin point where the problems began. I have had all kinds of PH issues from the get go, the growth on many of them stunted, and even the roots had problems.

I running 2 DWC 20 bucket systems, black buckets all containing air stones and each running a 600 pump. The only changes I made from this crop to my last crop was this one I used grow stones. 36 of the buckets are stones and the last 4 are hydroton )Because I ran out of stones) I noticed that the four buckets that are in hydro got tall and big like normal, so I am wondering if the stones hurt my crop. Also, in between crops I flushed my buckets with hot water and wiped each bucket with a clean rag but I did not break them down and clean the PVC pipes and I didn't clean the tubing. Could this have been a problem?
