Strain. Purple Kush from crop king
Hydro grow
2 weeks since they popped up threw the rapid rooters.
Started with one of my new plants getting a white spot on it. Then it progressed to what I’m dealing with now.
One plant seems to be taking it harder than the rest. I’ll include pics. Will do my best to answer any of your questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is my first grow so be easy on me haha. I ordered double the amount of seeds so I try again. It’s looking like I’m gonna have to try again.

Careful with top water DWC, you can drown them real easy, I don't use it for that reason

pH?
Nutes?
Is water below or at net pot level?


Side note....
I've tried to grow 4 Crap Kings Purple Kush....all never gave me diddly, crappy strain or genetics, I hope yers is just you and not the same as I had

Thanks for the quick response Chris!.
I’m using the nutes that came with my Canadian bubbler kit. At less than half strength. I have the ph perfect grow package from advanced nutrients I was going to switch to once they get bigger. All I have to check ph with is water test strips for now(I have a electronic one on the way).
Looks to be about high 5’s to low 6’s. I keep the top feeders running with my lights, bad idea? I will try anything you guys suggest. As what I’m doing is clearly not working out for me. Thanks again Chris.

Water is at bottom of net, just touching the bottom layer of pebbles.

I'd kill the top water

Drop nutes in half again, 1/4 strength at that age

Order a pH pen, very very important tool. And a ppm pen, ppm is good to monitor in DWC for fluxuation in eating

What light and how far away

Okay I will kill top water right now. Then what do I do just water them like a soil grow or let them get their water from below? Is there a way to cut nutes without changing out the whole solution? Only just changed it from tap water to r o water last night. Also I’ve been running humidity at about 25 because I thought all this was powdery mildew. Should I put my water mister back in? I’m running a 400w mh about three feet from the plants right now. I was using 6500 fluors till yeterday when I fired up my mh.

Bubbles from below will water the girls just fine

Tap water may be what hurt the girls, not sure, guess just leave it if ya want, but I'd change it out

Do you have an enzyme cleaners like hydroguard and z7??? Get one if u don't, I use both of those

Higher humidity is better, yes

Don't spray the leaves either, too young for that

I don’t have any of the cleaner you said. I will order some.

I was spraying a baking soda/ dawn dish soap mix because I thought I had powdery mildew, I will stop this also.

Is it normal for new growth to look a little fuzzy?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Fuzzy??

 

[Dustyi0]

Fuzzy??

Almost looks like little hairs.

[Chris Scorpio]

That's a Man child

 

[Dustyi0]

That’s not my plant but looks just like the fuzz on that one.

Mine haven’t went hermaphadite yet. Wouldn’t surprise me with the way this first grow is going haha.

 

[Dustyi0]

Just transplanted into soil. I took on the hydro befor I was ready.

Hopefully the turn around. Will update in a few days.

 

[Dustyi0]

Update on the progress.

Plants are doing much better now. Pretty sure I had a calcium/ potassium def. mostly caused by my pathetic attempt at hydroponics haha.

Just topped my biggest one yesterday. Been keeping humidity above 40, temps around 75 to 80.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Nice recovery. And great job with the info Chris.

 

[Dustyi0]

Doing much better these days, just transplanted into their 5 gallon buckets.

 

[Icemann420]

Nice comeback.

Looks good. I too am growing Crop King Purple Kush (fem/photo) and they are thriving. No complaints about Crop King's Purple Kush from me. Good luck.
