Hey folks, new time grower here and started with hydro with 300w Mars hydro LEDs
. I’m doing flood and drain every 6 hours with 16 sack seeds (unknown strain). Plants are currently 4 weeks old. Running 100 gal reservoir. Ppm 800, ph 5-6.
I was currently away for the weekend and wasn’t able to tend to them. The ph was over 7 when I checked Monday. I corrected everything, but plants are not getting better. A couple plants are fine, a few are starting to wilt and curl on new growth, and some the fan leaves are rusting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What’s the temperature like? I see the fan, but even though the leaves look a healthy green, I notice some leaves starting to fold into a taco shape, which is usually a sign of too much heat. If the room temp is fine, put your hand under the light right above the plant with your palm down and the light shining on the back of your hand and hold it there and wait a good minute. If your hand is too hot, they’re too hot. If it feels fine, then there’s another issue I’m not experienced enough to address as I’m not familiar with hydro.
Best of luck. Hope you figure out what’s going on.
There’s another fan at the door as well blowing the opposite direction. Currently I have a portable AC hooked up. The temps are normally 70 at night 80 during the day. It may during hot days get to 85, but not long before it starts cooling off. I’ll do the light test you suggested and see what happens. Thanks
