Help!!!! DWC ISSUES!!!!

[Daipot]

First DWC grow and all was fine until this morning. Checked on plants this morning after doing a res change and mostly all of them have wilted to almost nothing. Branches and leaves alike. I’m using Remo nutrients at half strength, checked EC and they’re all 5!!!! Is this curable and is it the EC that’s caused the issue?

What EC and PH? Content of your bucket and flowrate of your air pump? What light scheme and how many weeks in? Pics or it didn't happen...

EC 5, PH 6 two days into flower. Pump 60 litres per minute. I’ll get some pics. Won’t be long

EC 5 (if you use the same scale as I do) is toxic. I never go over 1.4 and try to keep it between 0.6-1 in order to let the plant work a bit.

I am using different nutrients to what I usually use. I put them in at half strength and didn’t check the ec before putting them in. Is there any come back to this?

Sure, just rinse her roots with clean water between emptying and refilling and get it to 0.6 EC and then slowly go back up to max 1.4. But always top up with plain water until you get down to 0.6 or below before you add nutes again. PH as usual 5.2-6.2, in flower higher is better as the plants will bring it down.

Thanks. Just got some pics and they look a little better now that the tanks have been changed. They’re still looking sad but do look a little bit better, the nutrients have dyed the roots too.

Give them a couple of days and all will be fine. And if you're not doing it yet, give them 24/7 light all the way. It's what makes autos so great.

This should definitely be noted lol. As this is the autoflower infirmary, unless otherwise noted folks will think it’s an auto. Just FYI
