Hi bud ..just looked through the live help thread to see your problems :Sharing One:I agree with bOb, Warira & you ...she looks to be on the way out & past recovery .Good thing is you learned some stuff & hopefully wont make the same mistakes .
The problem could have been high temps causing algae / rot
... or maybe a light leak getting into the res - this makes the nutes go slimey & stuff clings to the roots like in your pics.
... possibly dust from the pebbles - I have had a lot of problems with that lately it clings to roots & suffocates them as well .
... plus the unknown PH & EC for the last couple weeks
before you start again its a plan to try & resolve these issues one at a time ... a cheap aquarium thermometer for res temps will help you know whats happening in there ... covering the buckets with reflective mylar ect will help .Moving the pump to a cool place ... anything to keep res temps low enough to not have the worry of rot ...
then you make sure the bucket is 1000% light tight .... the usual place that gets overlooked id the edge of the net pot .... where the pebbles cant quite cover all the holes , some mylar to block that & reflect the heat is great...
....getting the pebbles as clean a you can before use is a big help ... sometimes I boil them in a pan & rinse before drying & still get dudt in the res ..... a good idea is to run the res a couple of days early with just water & change it a rew times to clear as much dust away as you can before starting with nutes ...
now you have a meter & the calibration powders you can keep PH perfect :dance2: those sachets are to check the meter for accuracy so keep them safe & calibrate once every coupe of weeks
once you are happy with all that ,we will help with the 1st bucket of nutes ect .... do you have a PPM/EC meter mate.. your waters PPM before nutes & how much you give the seedling will all be important in getting them happy in the early stages :Sharing One:

Yea I figured she was dead I already cleaned my whole bin added tap water then got the ph to 5.8 and added nutes half strength once a week every Sunday until I figured they got big enough I could start with full dosages and I replaced the one that was dead with a auto big bomb I'll check garden Lata today and post some pics
Still waiting for two ladies to bounce back here's some pics
More peebles in which one
Here are some update pics added 400w mh hopefully mh is for vegg and hps for flower and if that's wrong let me know ASAP but also added the carbon filter
Bump still hope I have the correct light ????
