I'm using 5gal dwc blue from lowes. 9500 commercial pump 4 inch airstones. Ph is always 6 and ppm broke 2 days ago new one otw. Using floraculture nutes. Tech said it's the sugar daddy foaming up because I have too much air with my buckets only being 4Gallons filled but that doesn't explain my plants dying or these white spots. Heavyweight fast and vast autos. I'm using CFL so he said to cut from 1/4 to 1/8 nutes? White foam turns to black shit on my tubing. Found light leak and covered it but don't know what's causing this. I used h202 and it cleared roots but don't know if it burned those spots into it? Are they junk? This is my third time it's happened. Can't keep spending seed money thinking of going back to old tried and true soil

Only using sugar daddy and root at this point. Just switched to full veg nutes. The regulars are turning around but the autos are toast

Heavyweight seeds are reknown for being wank in hydro systems. I managed to stunt a whole pack of 10 in NFT

I just had this happen with my Grape Ape. My guess was too much rapid start root nutes, pulled it, flushed it, used H2O2, and reran. So far so good, Did your PH spike? I know that the foam is caused by pathogens.
