DWC plant problem

[Martins G]

Hello.
Pictures will show you my problem.

There are curling droopy lover leaves. What can be a problem here?
Information:
1) Plant is 1.5 weeks old in 12 liter bucket
2) Nutes for now are only formulex 2ml/liter, it shows me ~1200ms/cm
3) Ph ~5.5-5.8
4) 250w CFL 6400k grow light
5) Water temp ~16-18 degrees celsius
6) Room temp Day/Night 22-24/19-20 celsius
7) Humidity 45-50%

And yes. Btw upper leaves starts to look the same

Thanks

Re: DWC plant problem.

Use formulex at 1.5ml a litre until they bigger.
The problem looks to be over watering...have the roots hit the water yet?
If so reduce water levels, if your still too feeding then water less often.
I had exact same issue on my first run!

Re: DWC plant problem.

when I was in hydro using flood table, it happened to me.I let the water for too long,didnt have a timer.could be little overwatering.like said above reduce water levels or give more time between your watering.

Re: DWC plant problem.

Thanks for reply guys.
So roots are already rly long, some 10cm (~4 inches) out of net pot. Water level is some 2.5cm (1inch) from the net pot.
Do i still need to lower water level?

edit. So yes. I hold water level too long higher than bottom of netpot. So will it recover and how long could it take to start grow normaly again (now it stopped).

Are you using an airstone also?

Will take a few days my friend, just make sure your netpot is a couple inches from the water level and all should be fine.

And yes i have airstones

I was going to ask ,good thing to have in water. Missing oxygen in roots zone can bring some trouble too

BTW

So. Looks like plant is starting to grow again. But lower leaves are gone (or almost).
Should i cut them off?
BTW sorry if i make mistakes in english writing, this is not my native language.

Have you checked out your roots at all? this happened to me on my first DWC grow my leave were droopy and turning yellow it turned out to be root rot. I might be wrong but it never hurts to check
