Hi All
I ran my RWDC a few years back and had a couple of excellent grows.
It's a homebuilt system which holds approx 200l, has chiller so water temps 18c plus high flow rate and two ceramic stones in each 'tub' powered by x2 big compressors, i also flume wayer when it comes out of chiller into main 'control' tub.
PH is 5.8
EC is 0.6 (actually 0.4 as my water is 0.2)
The cuttings i took (Gelato) rooted in a few days in RR cubes, then on into 3" cubes.
Once i had a lot of roots at the base of cubes i transplanted into 115mm net pots, with cubes sitting level with top and surrounded by stones.
This is where is has ALL stoppped, they have been sitting for 12 days and the roots are not growing into my solution?
They are yellowing and its actually as if the roots do not want to grow, usually by now i have a nice mass of brilliant white roots!
The cubes are not wet/soaked, the airstones are causing bubbles/spray that are wetting the stones, 'wick action' but no growth?
Everything is spot on but as i stated i have been out of the game for a while.
I have x2 1000w air cooled magmun xxl, plus a small 250w, all HPS.
temps are all good between 18c-25c.
The ONLY thing i might of noticed is that when i knocked one light off the plants appeared healthier/greener on that side??
Anyone got any ideas what is going on? The other cuts i had left over in cubes under a tiny fluro are still healthy/lush green and i have hardly been monitoring them or looking after them.
Any ideas?
p.s i have also raised the height of some plants ib net pots and been dipping them everyday in solution but still no growth?
If pics are needed lmk......
Cheers
