My hydroponic plants are dying. ?

Saturday, April 17th, 2010 at 11:46 am

I am new to hydroponics and have a 4 site drip feed system that i built my self. My plants are wrinkling up and drying out, the roots are getting completely wet and i have a timer to come on for 15 minutes every hour . I add the nutrients as directed on the labels, which is General Hydroponics Flora series. Well when i add the nutrients i check the pH and set it to about 6.5-7.0, and like after a day or so the pH goes high on it's own to about 8.5-9.0 and the water get a dirty brown color like rusty. If anyone has any help for me in fixing this problem i would really appreciate it.

Thanks, BIG RED

Hi, I am new to hydroponics, running a three gallon deep water culture system. I use general hydroponics nutrients and their feeding schedule. It stays at about a 6.22 PH and 500ppm. As far as a light goes, right now it is just two fluorescent lights. Right now I am growing spearmint and oregano, but instead of standing up straight they lay down flat (right now the oregano is actually looking pretty good!). Also there is white powder that forms on the top of the rock wool cubes. I change the water and add nutrients once a week. Is there anything else I can do?

When I first planted then, I used quite a few seeds.. maybe too many plants are attempting to grow in the same space?
