Something bad happened
It's been 2 weeks or so back but... I had a water flow issue that I didn't catch for 13 or so hours. The front row of my plants died during that time. They went all floppy and stayed green for a week or so then started drying out and dying. I trimmed them back hoping for a miracle but I don't think they'll survive.
Is there a better grow medium or something I can add to the grow medium to make them not die so fast if something happens with the water? For example a
pump going out or in this case the water dropping slightly below the top of the pump inlet? I've been checking it more frequently, adding about 5 gallons of
nutrients a week.
Also the plants that are thriving are spitting out berries but they are fairly tiny and don't seem to get very big. Any suggestions? Should I change my light cycle? I'm still running 16 hours on and i've increased my nutrients to the high end of the range on the mix chart.
Thanks!
