ive got 5 gallons of water in a bubble bucket method that holds three plants. im using foxfarm, hygrozime, epsom salt, 3% peroxide and some liquid karma in the water. ive got one 10-30 gallon air pump hooked up to a 14 inch airstone, and a 30-60 gallon air pump with 2 more airstones. the problem is, for the past two weeks we were using the proper amount of fox farm grow big and big bloom in the water with the right amount of hygrozime for 5 gallons and these babies were doing beautifully. on week three on the foxfarm schedule tells me to add just the proper amount of big bloom and i added that, hygrozime, and 3 little sample packets of liquid karma to give them a little more boost. anyway, when i switched to week 3, these plants freaked out. my temperature is a little warm with my water at 68.5-74 degrees farenheit and the inside air temp at 71-84 degrees. anyway, they have brown spots on the leaves, theres some yellow tips and yellow spots on the leaves, and theres a little algae on the plant roots! the roots are all brown, maybe just from staining from the nutrients, but they are kind of dry on the top and the bottom of the roots seem fine, just they're all brown. please tell me what to do to fix my babies cuz i dont know and it seems to get worse all the time.
