New Grower Polar Express Day 18. Dwc. Slow growth?

[steelcap956]

The last week was touch and go with this plant. It was definitely the nutes. It had curled leaves and I believe it was nitrogen toxicity. I changed the res last night and cut the dosage to half amount and it is doing way better the leaves are lively and it still has new growth. I decided to clean the media because I wanted to look at roots and this is what I have. Should I have more.? Opinions welcome. Even insults are welcome. Just need feedback from experienced grower's.

Maybe this time start a diary on the site every time you change or update what you've added and ml's. you will have members commenting and giving you advice before its too late. all the best buddy with your next run.

You think it's done for? With new growth and straight upward pointing leaves? The roots are brown and the mush is what's left of the rockwool cube. Temps have been 61- 64f. It's being cooled by a water cooler gutted and used to cool a stainless steel coil. It gets too cold if anything but I'm dialing in the thermostat on it.. Ill keep yally posted. I'm not sure where to post the journal. If been posting ul dates with the same header just changing the Day.

You might be able to save her, it won’t hurt to try. But why take her apart? Put her back in the stones and don’t touch her again until you cut her down.

Wouldnt say its done you could give it a week or two see if theres any growth.

If you do start again start a new thread and every few days update your info. Keeps you right and lets others see what your doing. Will be doing a more detailed thread this time myself. Ph,neuts, ecc etc. All the best tag me

Bleach everything and I mean everything! Stones, bucket, pot, air lines, pebbles. Soak roots in a 25% peroxide 75% water. If you have a pot of dirt put her in and leave for rest of grow. After a few waterings with peroxide she'll come back. But if you put back in dwc without cleaning or buying pythoff and running as per instructions on bottle.

Is this an auto?
