So this is my second grow. The first grow made it to week 10 before it died. I am going on the third week with this grow. Going to flush tomorrow. I use fox farm and following the feeding chart exactly how it goes. I need help figure out why my plants are looking this way. Thank you all for the help.

So using random Bruce banner seeds. Was given to me for free bc I don’t want to waste the seeds I bought. I am using hydroponic in 3.5 gallon buckets. Using a 4x4 ac infinity light. Ph is at 5.8. I have my light level set at 4. Using fox farm nutrients. That is all the info that I have at the moment.
Like Stone Cold said need a ticket as you got some serious issues. For starters to be blunt kill the plant on the right it won’t produce enough bud for my bong in a single day.
The plant on the left may be worth saving but we need the info to diagnose the problems.
Good luck.
I am using the 4x4 ac infinity tent. Have the largest exhaust they offer. Use blue lab ph pen. I also have the oscillating fans in the tent.

@Grim783 looks to me like the nutrients were hot for the plant, I used to use fox farm nutrients with coco coir and had to cut the dose in half strength if it’s possible when you do a water change cut your feed doses in half and give her a chance to recover fingers crossed you get it figured out

Keep tabs on your ppms when you mix nutrients be sure of what your putting in vs whats already in it’s a balancing thing. I would suggest a water change.

Can you post pictures of the inside of the buckets to check condition of roots???
What is water temp when changing out?
How often do you change the water?
What is the temperature in your tent? High/Low ranges?
What is the Humidity in your tent?
Are you using a feed chart from manufacturer?
Are you using any beneficial microbes for root zone?
DWC can be a bit difficult you need to change water every week. If you went to 5 gallon buckets you could let them go for a couple weeks between changing water. Plant will not thrive in DWC without cool water as plenty of O2.
How’s your air pump and oxidation system working? I run two separate O2 pumps and split to each system so they get plenty of air and have backup just in case.
Chill water the 4-12 hours prior to changing water each week. (I use 2 liter pop bottles by freezing the days before and let sit in my change out 5.8pH’d water 12 hours prior to.
Temp in tent ranges from 76 when lights off to 83 degrees. I use the kangaroots fox farm and microbe when the schedule calls for it. I change water out every Sunday when putting new nutes in. Humidity hovers around 2.3. Water is always room temp before adding it. Have a bubble stone in each bucket. Never knew to chill water. When I was running my grobo which is automated system never chilled water. Last grow I made it to week 10 and it died bc I wasn’t using the sledgehammer to flush salts out which caused complete nutrient lock out. Sledging my water tonite before adding my nutes on Sunday.

Are you monitoring the ppm?
No. I hate to be a novice but have a ppm pen but don’t use it. I am going to put some sledgehammer in the water tonite so on Sunday when I do a water change and put fresh nutes in. I use fox farm. I think I should have went with general hydroponics nutrients.

What are your EC measurements?
I have wasted months if not over a year when I first started by not monitoring EC measurements.
This is critical, not enough nutrients …you will have slow stunted growth…too much and you will have burning…Took me ages to figure out what I was doing wrong.From my experience it is critical , many wasted months trying to get them back on track, Are you using Hydro guard?
do your roots look healthy…
If you do change your nutrient program look at Jacks321. PPM’S and PH are important no matter how your growing.

Roots look great. Just used sledgehammer. Haven’t measured my ppm. Doing that Sunday when I add my nutrients.

I don’t understand what sledge hammer would do in DWC My understanding is sledge hammer helps dissolve the salt block in soil.

Correct. Fox farm calls for it every two weeks because of the salt build up. Last grow I did I didn’t use it and it was a complete mess.
Hydroguard helps break that down and makes available to the plant.
Hydroguard® contains unique beneficial bacteria, Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens, selected specifically for its superior ability to enhance the symbiotic relationship between the roots and their surrounding medium. During the plant’s most intense growth phases (i.e. transplant, transition, and heavy flowering), the demand for certain nutrients and essential trace elements increase and change frequently. To reach their full potential, plants require highly available forms of nutrition only possible through microbial mechanisms. Although plants generate some of these microbes on their own, supplementing with Hydroguard significantly increases and accelerates these mechanisms. This immediate boost of natural microbial activity in the root zone enhances nutrient availability that results in larger, higher quality fruits and flowers.
