new shoots lime green. leaves dark green. too many nutes???

[CanGroIt]

Well if it definitely isn't the nute recipe....then I'm stumped....

What has changed from the last successful no problem harvest to these??? Plants don't just decide to not grow efficiently....something has to be different.... How clean is the equipment??? Are there any light leaks into the dwc buckets res'??? Any light leaks into the space during dark hours??? When was the last time the light bulbs were changed???

If it were I in this situation, I'd re-veg, take clones and start all over.... Clean the shit out of all equipment and make sure I stay on the right path....but that's just me.... Are you sure this prob has nothing to do with how you are feeding??? How long have you been growing hydro???

I too use kool bloom in powder form....however I only use it during weeks 5 & 6 of flower....

20 years the same way .claening ,etc ive done all of that ....thats why imfreaked. if i dont use kool bloom right away,,,buds never form...it just keeps growing like its in veg. this is probably the 4th time ill be starting over .....i had clones going in the 3 " cubes ...then when i put them on the slabs the roots turn brown and die. ive always had slight dificulty in fwr but never in veg ,,,now i do. thats why i went to the DWC. hopefully a new system will work. i was told ive been overwatering. through this whole thing my roots have been terrible. there have been timesin the successful past that the roots came out of the bags right into the res. maybe ive just lost my green thumb

now are the roots browning because theyre getting too much water, nutes, not enough water?? btw im in veg now still with everything. im tryin to get the slab clones to start growing. normally this took about a week

[CanGroIt]

It's likely that the roots turn brown (rot) from too much moisture, too often, in the cubes....if they aren't stained from nutes....

You still haven't answered my nute mix question.... So what exactly does your nute mix consist of??? And at what rate of each???

DWC is freakin awesome!!! Oh, what size air pump you running for/in them buckets??? I've grown 1/4lb per bucket after 11 days of veg and 49 days of flower....so I can speak from experience on those.... However I have absolutely zero experience with rockwool cubes....so I can't really say 100% what is effecting them...

gh maxi powder series. ill get the npk when the lights are on. boy i sure hope you can help with DWC its my first time and i dont really know anything about it. the guy who sold me the system said he would help but he freaked or something cause he quit selling systems so im kinda on a limb.what you see in the DWC arw some clones i had in 3" rockwool cubes. i was planning on this rockwool batch so i just popped them in the basket with some rocks so i could veg them for the rw clones. when i started they were about 8 " tall. i must have given them too many nutes because they all froze and the fan leaves that were the size of my hand before i topped them ( needed clones ) were the size of a siver dollar coming in. i had no roots coming out the baskets and the last thing this guy told me was to go to 200ppm for a few then to 500ppm, so i did and nothing happened. thats when i lost touch with him. finally i got the guts to go up and did to 700. then 800 .nothing....so i emptied the res and just ran 200ppm. the plants picked up but then stopped. i slowly went up to 800 again. got some action. then stopped and now at 1100 for about 5 days and that is what you see in the DWC. id appreciate some tips...recipies suggestions to help me with this. im going to fwr whats shown ( need meds bad)and then start a new DWC only batch. i could sure use a mentor

The maxi-gro and bloom are advertised as stand alone nutes with macro and micro nutes.... I personally do not like this because it's all mixed up for you and you cannot adjust the levels of each macro or micro nutes....

You should use those for your vegetables or flowers in your outdoor non-cannabis plants and get yourself the liquid 3-part from GH for ya meds....the flora series - FloraGro, FloraMicro and FloraBloom....they're inexpensive when compared to advanced nutrients.... Also get yourself some Cal-Mag and Liquid Karma for micro nutes....and some Vitamin B-1 for plant vigor.... I seriously think the problems you're having is due to your nute mix....

Also, did you leave the rockwool cubes on the plants you have in the dwc buckets???

ive got the GH 3 part and cal mag . i used gh 3 part for 20 yrs. when i had these probs with that, iwent to the powder to simplify to see if the results were different and i was mixing a bad recipe. theyre the same so ill go back to gh3 pt as you suggest. yes i had the rockwool cubes in the net pots. i got the system and had the clones cubed so i just poppped them in to veg to get clones with some rocks on top. is this retaining too much moisture?? ill get the karma and B1. BTW is my nute recipe i listed earlier seem in the ballpark???

[CanGroIt]

is this retaining too much moisture?? ----Yes....I think this might be the prob with the ones in the DWC buckets....

BTW is my nute recipe i listed earlier seem in the ballpark???

You haven't given the amounts per nute that makes up your current recipe.... I suggest doing a ppm test per nute to find out how much of what gives, so you can get the desired ppms....that's explained in the PPMs made easy to understand link....
