Need some help with some plants in a DWC under CFL's. I've recently moved (transplanted) them three days ago from one DWC holding 4 plants to individual bubblers w/ a controller & reservior. They are under the same lights as before. Plants were very healthy until the move and now two of them are showing signs, I believe of either nute burn, or nute lockout on the big fan leaves. New growth looks ok, but now I've noticed that some of the roots are looking a bit brownish on some areas. The water temps are in the 60-65 range, and I have a heater although it may be too small now for the additional solution.
I'm using a BC grow & boost and small amounts of Thrive alive B-1 and Dark Energy at half strength which should be about 350-400 ppm. I'm guessing since I don't have a meter. I only add ph adjusted water to top off with, no added nutes. I'm misting with ph adj. water at lights out and before lights on.
The temps daytime are 70-80 and night time 65-70. Humidity is around 45-50%, sometimes lower. I have fans for plant stems and to pull air out the top and in the bottom.
I was going to flush with just ph adj. water and then new nutes. I also was thinking of changing nutes since I have some GH stuff that I haven't tried yet. Growth has been very good so far and since only two of four are sick, I don't know if a change will help much.
I don't want to buy any kind of fungicide or anything like that, but I've read that H2O2 can help with root rot. If so, is that the hair salon type, or can I use the drug store 3% solution?
The roots looked very fine and white when I did the move, and now they are not looking so good, although on one sick plant the new roots look very good. No sign of any pests by the way.
Is this all just from shock or something? I just changed the lights to 12/12 and I'm hoping the sick ones turn out to be male!
Not sure of the strain, just grew from bag seed and this is my first time hydro grow indoors.
I'll post some pics of the damage and I appreciate the help and advice.
Left out some info. I've been very diligent on checking ph levels daily, again using simple solution test, no meter, but usually around 6-6.5, but after the transplant, the ph was a bit higher and I had to correct, but it was high for 20-24 hrs or so. Maybe 7-7.5 or so.
My photos are in the gallery. I don't know how to load them here yet. Sorry.
Peace
