Over watering is a common problem in rockwool hydro set up. What is your water temperature? what is your pH ?

[savethebud]

water temp 70 and ph between 5.5 and 5.8

[savethebud]

water temp is actually 67 to 70 degrees

[savethebud]

humidity between 23 to 40%

water temp 70 and ph between 5.5 and 5.8

Those are right on the money. :thumbsup:
Reduce watering time (5 minutes/4 hours). Just keep in mind overwatering is most common problem for rockwool growers.

I thought if it was overwatering the whole plant would wilt.....does overwatering show up first in top of plant

[savethebud]

anybody???????????

I think usually when you overwater, you see it first in the leaves..! I'm not sure..!

Good luck to solve your problem!
