So are you saying that you didn't change anything yet from last night? Are you saying that you are still at .9 EC right now. Did you adjust your pH yet?

Edit: Oh I see that you are at .5 and 5.8. I would personally be at .2 - .3 on your EC but they are not my plants.

Doc why are you turning your pump off if you're using aeroponics?

In aeroponics you gotta leave them on 24/7. Doc if you want root growth you gotta keep in on 24/7. Aeroponics is different. Do you have air stones in there?

if they gonna be geting sprayed 24/7 they will have water and nutrient all the time, i want to make them looking for it, which supposed to speed root growth

I have put seed in pre soaked 1ich rockwool in ph 5.5 and rhizotonic... as soon as root come out from the cube, i have put it in, in to amazon..

Dok that's the whole point of aeroponics. That's why you keep the EC low. You are damaging your plants by turning your pump off. You are not using soil so it's not supposed to be done the same way. I use aeroponics also. The more oxygen you put in your water, the faster your roots will grow. Before you started using this system, did you do any research?

Dok not to be rude but I don't need to see pics. I am familiar with how your system runs and you gotta keep that pump on 24/7. You should also get some air stones in there too. These roots sat in for 24/7:

I don't go through the whole cycle using aeroponics but I am familiar with how it works. Where does your water drain to when the pump is off?

Those roots need to be sprayed 24 hours a day and you will see massive root growth if you didn't already hurt your plants by doing that.

Doc, I'm asking you to trust me on what I'm about to say and I'm going to go into detail on what you should do because I can't sit here all day. It'll take me a few to write it all for you.

If u say after seeing this picture, that they need plain water, and i am on IT !!! i think they look a little bit better, but i am probably wrong..

Wait a minute are you sure it's aeroponics? Are the roots getting sprayed or flooded?

I'm really surprised that no one has told you this yet but please follow these steps and you will be happy:

1. Take your PPM to 250.
2. Make sure that you have enough air stones in your REZ so your water has enough oxygen and that your solution stays mixed.
3. Keep the pump on for 24/7.
4. Keep your water temps no more than 70 degrees F
5. Make sure that your pH stays at 5.8 every day.

Follow these steps and you will have great root growth. I am not taking a guess either. Any questions?
