I really need your help before my BABIES die :( help!!!!

[Bradders1986]

Good morning

So I’m running a DWC 10 pot with 20L buckets, under two 600w lights which are currently running at 250w.
At first I had all 10 cuttings in 3inch rock wool, but I lost 2 cuttings and the rest look like there about to go as well, if not already too late, the weather has been so hot so the temperature inside the room along with the water has been virtually impossible to change,
The cuttings were in for over 2 weeks and then I was told to strip them back of the rock wool and place at the bottom of the basket near to the water level and the bubbles, since then iv lost another one.
The water EC is reading 1.0-1.2 and the Ph is 5.8, yet the water is warm. I have tried to put ice cold bottles in the master bucket to try keep the temperate down. I will upload some photos as a lot of you will probably no more if I show you, as I’m new to this and definetly need your help.
Thanks
Bradders

Yeah that’s what my EC wand is showing when I dip into water.... does that mean the food in the water is too high?

Yeah I would say so. They are baby’s as you say. Depends what your water is first. What is your background ec. ? I’m like 5 weeks into flower and mines are on 1 ec my water is only 0.1 ec. I don’t really know what the crack is feed wise if you have high ec water in first place.

Im not a hydro guy so no advice to give there. I believe water temp is vital tho?

Regards the EC generally seedlings like 0.6 to 0.8 (will vary strain to strain etc). This includes the EC of plain tapwater. My water is 0.4 from the tap so I would add another 0.2 to 0.4 of feed to bring the total up to 0.6 to 0.8.
If your water is below 0.2 from the tap add calmag to bring it up to 0.4 first then add your nutrients upto 0.6 - 0.8.

Measure your water straight from the tap then add your nutrients accordingly to bring it to range.

My water is 0.8 straight out of the Tap? So what can I do to bring it down?

Yeah I think I need to try and control my water temperature, it has come down a little, so hard to control with this heat we’ve got in uk.. I think the cuttings have failed to be honest.... my tap water comes out at 0.8 so should I just leave the feed out, I don’t really get what I’m supposed to do lol, sorry... what do u suggest

Not sure. Would be better if someone with the same high ec water chipped in. Maybe Mac knows.

The EC is high for tap water is your EC pen/want properly calibrated? Also try put a fan aiming at the buckets to cool them and try get humidity higher probably 60%. The plants don't look too good.

Regards the high EC from the tap, damn son thats some chalky water Check your measuring equipment is clean and calibrated correctly.

Short term solution, buy bottled water and mix it with your tap water to dilute it.

Long term Reverse osmosis unit maybe??

You can buy chemical water softeners but I have no experience with them whatsoever I'm afraid
