No don’t own corvette.I would never get out of it. Lol. So the nutrients were originally full strength which was my bad for following fox farm schedule and listening to different opinions. But I cut them down to 1/4 of what schedule of what the schedule said, and only added calmag, b12 and silica after I started showing some problems. I believe the reason they said no airgap to start was because of depth of net pots, they said to lower water level after roots were more established (I think, would have to go back and watch video). I’m sure there was some other mistake along the road. I’m not giving up on rdwc(to much money invested in it now) here some photos of first grow in soil, yielded 9 oz dry weight from 4 plants. A couple critical purples, purple sunset and a Bruce banner.

No been using kangaroots, was told not to use hydroguard with it. Air pump is activeaqua 15 l/min. According to pahydo should large enough with fall ponics, they also said don’t leave air gap. Temps are set at 69 with chiller. Adding sledgehammer to reservoir once a week per fox farms webpage because rdwc. When it was showing some issues I did straight water with sledgehammer, and after short while drained system. Then add nutrients at reduce amount. I have blue rain drum that I fill with water add nutrients one at a time and use aeromixer- then pump back into reservoir once temp ph and everything else looks correct. Leaves don’t have that wilting look at base so much anymore, but still getting brown spots on the leaves. Need to get some photos of that up close. I’m adding calmag once a week whether I change out reservoir. Ph is staying steady at 5.9-6.0. Did do a calibration on pen and it was dead on. Even temps on pen match with chiller match up. Highest temp has got is 81, most of time it is 76, and lowest was 67 today. Have humidity swings of 50-70.usually humidity is when I forget to fill humidifier. I’m sure I’ll get it dialed in. 

Yeah I have been having trouble with my zkittles. They are in rdwc, not growing fast, weird leaves, some brown spots on leaves. Hopefully just a seedling phase- trying to get them dialed in.

Checked ph pen, have a blue lab pen as well as soil blue lab pen. They are with a point of one another. Like .1. The cal mag have to add weather I change res or not. The sledgehammer says to add to rdwc weekly on website. Not on feeding chart. I assume it’s to keep system flowing.

The roots are white, but just don’t seem to be growing fast at all. Not sure how far along they should be for autos but the biggest one has the most. The small one has a a small tail . The other 2 not much. Which is why I’m using top feed as well. Not sure how long I should keep that going 

These are plants. Of coarse I chopped leaves with brown spots already. The other 3 are just starting to come around. They all popped within a day or 2.

I did lower nutrition after 1st res change - ppm to 410, that’s when this one started showing weird leafs - wilted toward center. Added cal mag due to brown spots. Have 3 others that really looked weak- so added some b12 and rhino skin per suggestion. Was following feeding schedule of fox farm for rest. According to fox farm supposed to use sledgehammer weekly with rdwc
