I’m new to growing myself, but am doing hydro. I can’t really help you, but I’m sure someone will answer. Did you change water at very least? If water is that color, I would definitely change it, but going further-I don’t know! Can someone help this grower out!?

Well, it was a chemical reaction, so yes I changed the water when I could but I put it back in the old as I hadn’t dumped it (I have to be careful when I dump it so the landlord doesn’t know) but this is a warning to hydro growers to check it everyday. Honestly over check it!

If you water turned yellow…you should check your roots because I am pretty sure you have root issues…hopefully you are using some kind of root inoculant…add a little extra for the next few changeouts…if you air stones get clogged they can cause the root rot…just some ideas that might help…

It turned yellow from a chemical reaction as stated. The plant is already showing signs after 24 that I’ll more than likely live as the roots are fine.

@Treehousetroll I use General Hydroponics and have never had any type of reaction like what I see you’ve experienced. What was it that caused that? I use flood and drain systems primarily because I can keep control of the nutes and keep them fresh. A Ph 6.7 for a couple days shouldn’t have caused those results. Without question it was the reaction as you suspect.
So what happened was my oxygen was turned too far up which caused the ph to spike, also excess oxygen is never a good idea Bc it’ll react with anything (not literally that’s carbon but it’s mostly everything)

It oxidized. I ran a separate test with both my air stones in it and yah. It turned the same yellow over 2 days

very interesting what is happening in your setup…I always thought adding more oxygen to your water would make the PH go down and not up…
