Did you condition your grow stones? I find they take some time to adjust. Have you been top watering at all. You may want to water you DWC's with a RO water from a watering can and check the pH of the runoff. I use growstones with a re-circ system. Even after conditioning them per the instructions on the bag, I find the pH in res will increase for a week or more. So, for the first couple of weeks, for my hydro plants, I have to be really mindful of the pH.

Yes i conditioned the hydro stones. Thinking that my biggest problem was i have been using tap water that sits out a few days but as of yesterday i put ro water in for the bigger plants and re nuted them and they have shown massive growth. Still learning about dwc just dove head first into it didnt know i would need so much

Moved 2 small hydro plants into dirt they wernt taking to well to the dwc. Plant 1 has been topped several time just kinda a test i guess. Plant 2 has only been topped once and has a strong stem removed almost all lower leafs. The other dirt plants have shot up, on about 4th set of leaves. Once dirt plants hit about 8 leafs im gonna go ahead and start flowering. Gonna learn how to clone just not 100% on what i need? Will get updated pics up soon.

Plants are doing good I have plants 1 and 2 in hydro in flowering now along with plant 1 dirt. 2 3 4 are doing good the little hydro one is coming along but staying short. I have 6 other seedlings started as well of normal bag seed and have 1 seed in soil. I hit the jackpot yesterday and found a seed out of some killer smoke not sure the strain but for sure will be a beautiful plant will post pics today.

Hey Growmanzilla.....i noticed you from PTSD 4 ME's journal.....I am part of the welcoming team and am sorry that you havent had more input on your grow my friend.....you are moving right along and unfortunately i cant remember all the details of your growlol....just went through it from the beginning, but have short term memory losslol.....the help you have recieved has been solid advice and have you on the right track.....first thing i can think of is you said you are using advanced nutrients....the ph balanced line if i am right?.....dont count on that.....there are other factors that can throw it out of whack.......when you can i would suggest a digital PH & PPM meter......the ph tester you have is ok for a ball park, but i have found that the digitals are the best way to go.....gives you an exact.....with that being said if you do get a PH meter make sure to get one that measures in .01 increments......such as 5.8......some will only go in .5 increments.....you need to know the exact.....5.8 is the most desired PH for your hydro........when you move your dwc to 12/12 be ready for them to uptake about half of your resevoir each night until about 2 weeks from finish....they get extremely thirstylol.....i fill mine each morning abotu a 1/2 inch over the net pot.....without any issues.....in 2 hours it is at the perfect level and doesnt get as low overnight.......i ran inot a problem of the nutes being so concentrated in the mornings it was causing burning on my leaves.....now that i overfill a bit it helps from getting that way.....if you would like......i would like for you to take current pics of your plants in regular light and post them on my journal......you have something going on with a couple that i dont have answers for, but have some really knowledgeable people on there that i think can get you on a better track.....not saying you are doing anything wrong.....just i think we can get you dialed in better.....but need to see them leaves in regular light so that they can better identify what the issues might be

to my friend.....if you ever need anything feel free to PM me or visit my journal......oh.....and i messaged Colorado High and let him know that this journal is not completed yet and requested to have it moved back to current.......Have a great day

[Growmanzilla]

Yeah had some problems and lost all plants got 3 small ones going now gonna wait till they get bigger before i start another journal and just run with dirt for my first grow hopefully i can make it to a full grow without any problems this time hoping to get some more seedlings going here soon will start a new journal in about a week and my plan is to have 12 plants growing. I mentioned above that i found a quality seed and by some miracle it made it through everything and is about on its 3rd set of leaves now. Will inform everyone on this post when i get up and running again.
