    Hydroponics

    Hi Guys,

    I am beginning to notice a problem in my plants, and I hope some one can help, the 3 plants (PPP) are roughly 4ft tall, have been in the flowering cycle since the 22nd, there under 1200 watts of HPS, and the feed I use is General Hydroponics Europe (GHE) one grow.

    There fed every 30mins for 5 mins, the system I use is a trough type feed system, where the plants sit on top of the trough, the pumps are in the feed and connected to a timer, there fed via a U shaped spray bar.

    The Problem

    The plants feel soft even the centre stem feels soft, they look kinda healthy, there not wilting, but because of this soft problem, I am finding that if I touch the leaves a little heavy they snap of,





    EC 0.8 to 1.0

    PH 5.8 to 6.0

    Feed Temp 19% to 23%

    Their roots are now languishing in the feed, i.e. they have come right through the buckets and into the trough

    Do you have a fan or anything on them! .....Not have any reason to go a strong stem...they won't waste the energy growing one .....put in a fan or shake the system when your in there........ might help....Later!

    I agree and I am not a hydro expert however this also could be from a deficiency.
