plants not doing so well

can u fill out these questions? Also what did you use to treat with mites.....?
I see some issues with foliar treatments bleeched the leaves or the clone was bleached from lights... I see the plants burned on one leaf possibly,,,
I need more info, just going by what the plant looks like....
I would transplant them into soil..... doing 100% perlite seems like it may be causing issues for you.... perlite requires a little more work, because it needs a drip line for water because it can dry out fast... with soil you don't need to water as much as 100% perlite. U can grow without a drip line... it's just more work without it.
HYDROPONICS/Aero Ponics/Coco/Soiless/
How long has this problem been going on?
Are you growing in a PVC grow tent? (example: Hydrohut or any other non brand tents)
What system are you running? (DWC? Ebb flow? Aero? Water Farm? Flood Tables? and so on...)
What STRAIN are you growing?
What was the establishing technique? (Were the seed or clone?)
What is the age of your plants?
How long have they been in there mixture they are in now?(coco,soiless etc..)
How tall are the plants?
What PHASE are the plants in? (seedling, vegetative or flower) are the plants in?
What Technique are you using?
What substrate/medium are you using?(Hydroton, RockWool etc.)
What is the Water temperature?
What color are your roots? White? Brown? Are your roots slimy?
What Nutrient's are you using?(If growing soiless)
How much of each nutrient are you using with how much water? *Knowing the brand is very helpful*
How often are you feeding? (If using soiless)
How often are you giving nutrients? (If using soiless)
If flowering, when did you switch over to using Bloom nutrients?
What order are you mixing your nutrients? (example: veg nutes 1st, bloom 2nd ect)
What is the TDS/EC/PPM you are using
What is the pH of the "Tank"?
How often are you testing your pH/PPM/EC/TDS?
Are you sure your calibration is correct on your equipment?
When was your last watering?
What is your water temps?
When was your last feeding change? (ie. grow-bloom-micro-additional)
How often do you clean your system: example: Flush out water replace with clean water and nutrients?
What size bulb are you using?
How old is the bulbs you are using?
What is the distance to the canopy?
What is your RH Factor(Relative Humidity)?
What is the canopy temperature?
What is the Day/Night Temp? (Include flucutaion range)
What is the current Air Flow? (cfm etc.)
Tell us about your ventilation, intake exhaust and when its running and not running ?
Is the fan blowing directly at plants?
Is your water HARD or SOFT?
What water are you using? Reverse Osmosis (RO)? Tap? Bottled? Well water? Distilled? Mineral Water?
If using tap water, what is the ppm/EC/TDS of the water right out of the tap?
If using RO,Distilled,mineral water, what is the ppm/EC/TDS without any additives?
Are you using water from a water softener?
Has plant been recently pruned, cloned off of or pinched
Have any pest chemicals been used? If so, What and When?
Are plant's infected with pest's

Convert to either a drip system or a bubbler- better still, combine the two for a kick ass set up
See my thread Stripping Back the BS for ideas
Photos are near finished + trimmed weight of one plant.
Plants did not get enough photons prior to 15th day of flower, and yet, yield was pretty decent. High was amazing
This grow the extra 76w was inserted early
Getting ready to lower lights

400mh perlite hempy bucket spider mites treated with peroxide solution 500ppm nutes ph meter needs calibration so I'm flying blind for the next week they do have a fan blowing on the tested rez water with drops was dark green so thinking a lock out plus mites have them going thru a tough time ordering some Fox farm

I hope you calculated that 500 ppm for the H2O2 and didn't try to read it with an EC meter... Hydrogen peroxide is not a dissolved solid, and therefore will not read correctly with an EC meter.
500 ppm is about 4 tablespoons of 3% hydrogen peroxide per gallon (if my mental math is on point today).

They looked burned, get your meter fix, they will recover since they are so young, also the hydro peroxide prob did most of the burning...
Yea see I actually lowered it so that didn't help at all I just been watering once a week since there is 2in of water at the bottom ala hempy but I checked run off and it was at 7.1 so gonna flush with some 5.5 water with no nutes also should I start giving them so lights off time
What are you adjusting the pH to?
