If I could chime in...
The reason why aeroponics is so unforgiving is because of the greater oxygen content. This method allows roots to be exposed to more O2 which is critical to prevent roots from drowning but also creates much more fert uptake. This is why it's necessary in aero to reduce the amounts of ferts you use, or you'll cook your plants. There is a more narrow window in aero where for example you might have a ppm that works but fluctuates between 900 and 1400 in DWC, you have to keep a close eye on an aero grow because the ppm window is much smaller, maybe 700-900 ppm. A good ppm/pH meter becomes necessary in hydro. Worth the expense though, because when done right your plants will kick butt. I suspect that if you're growing in hydro and overwatering is thought to be a problem, you could either reduce your pump run times or provide more oxygen. Or both.

I have two suspicions, over watering or ph fluctuations. If you have had experience with this same look and seemed to fix it please let me know. Thank you Jdubb Rating: 5
