Ok, I will flush the system in about an hour or so when I get home. I will wash the bucket and run water over the Hydroton to break the salt build-up off.

I will then use the 1.5ml like you suggested
Pictures to come in an hour or so.


Thank you,

Ok, so I did what was suggested and cut down on the nutes to allow the plant to heal itself.

Oh, before I forget... as you can see the leaves are a little yellowish/white... I will assume that is from the nute burn that I was corrected on?

Also, the next set of leaves is coming in curling :-/

 

[Taviddude]

Yeah, that's definitely Nute burn, and the new leaves that are curling is also from too much nutrient. It's called the "Claw". It may take a while for the plant to recover and show healthy new growth, but be patient. Just remember next time that you don't even have to give a seedling ANY nutes at all until that first set of little round small leaves fall off. It's still early to be giving ANY nutes at all, but as long as your ppms are low, and your PH is in line you should be back on track in no time. NUGGAGE IN ABUNDAGE!!!
What did you end up getting your PPM down to? Less is always better than more. Hopefully somewhere from 100 - 350. If it's higher than that there is no harm is diluting it a bit to get your ppms down below 300.

 

[Franchise]

Right now I have it at 450, but I am diluting it daily until I can get it to where I need it. I will have it down to around 250 tonight. Does pH up and pH down raise the ppm? Because I have noticed a rise everytime I need to use it.

I have the pH regulated at between 5.8-6.2 I don't let it get too much out of that range. Days that I am off I check it twice a day, days I work I check it once.

Heading to work, I appreciate you sticking around and helping Taviddude... I really do.

 

[Taviddude]

No problem. Just wanna see you pull some good nuggage. I've still to harvest my first plant, but it's just about there. I guess you could say I'm still on my first grow, but I've learned so much in the last three months it's crazy. Growing is pretty easy when you know how, lol. Just trying to pay it forward. 80% of what I've learned was here on AFN just reading all the stickies, and pouring through journals of grows by some of the best growers here. So far I've got a few DWC's like you, some plants in Coco, some soil plants(outdoor), some plant's in an Ebb n Flow table, some clones in the cloner I built, and they're all doing good so I must be doing something right. It's a bitch keeping track of it all, but it's rewarding at the same time. I grew mushrooms by the bushel for years, and just needed something different. I definitely found it, lol.

 

[low_and_slow]

Honestly, and Taviddude has WAY more experience than me, I would just run water until that thing looks healthy. I can still see visible salts on your drip ring and bucket...that's no bueno for tiny seedlings. I'm running pure water through my waterfarm, the only nutes are what was soaked into the wooden spoon when I mixed the organic stuff for my soil plants. I would give her 10-12 days of just pH balanced water and see how she shapes up.

 

[Franchise]

I just got home from work, and my plant is sleeping so I will check her out when I wake up.... scratch that... I am going to wake up when the lights kick on and check her out to make sure she is doing fine, and check on the pH and ppm

I will take some pics and post the stats when she wakes up.

 

[Franchise]

That plan didn't go as planned, I guess I had more hopes than drive when my alarm went off lmao... 12 Hour shifts will do it to you lol

Here is the updates:
ppm=320
pH=5.9
