Good one Italiano, thanks. Will edit that into my copy, or into it's own post if there's still an interest. Hydro never get's straight fresh water unless to correct a problem, right...? Quantity of runoff when watering/feeding came to mind also.

I guess it could get too complicated if worried about the minutia, but am seeking the perfect troubleshooting form, lol.

Any additional imput or suggestions is/are welcome. I'm not trying to step on anyones toes, just trying to make it a bit easier to follow the troubleshooting form.

Umm not too sure, you mean like how often is the reservoir changed. I think hydro changes the reservoir every 2 weeks or so....Not sure as I'm not a hydro grower though.

Was also thinking to adding to the how often you water one.....how much water are your giving them also. Like 1 gallon water each pot....2 gallons water each pot, etc.

Let me reword how I was thinking this.....

"How often (times day/week) do you water and how much water is given to each container, pertaining to the size of the container?"

If ^^^^ makes any sense to ya......

second day of production i woke up to my ressi full of foam and the pump was barley working. does anyone know what causes this? Also i noticed my ressi water was stinky. what would cause that to happen. my ph level was 6.8 but now is 6.4 and slowly dropping do to ph down i put in today. I also live on well water is that good to use? My plant are starting to turn yellow at the bottoms and are drooping more everyday.

This isn't a troubleshooting forum, it's the troubleshooting form. Try copying and pasting the appropriate form to your new post in the Plant Problems section, answer the questions, and someone will be with you shortly.

thanks rusty short and sweet

rusty, how about method for checking if your plants need water in the soil section? i know this might be a bit much.

also, in the hydro section, how about res temp?

that's the only things i saw.

i think it's awesome. sorry i didn't know your were gonna make one or i wouldn't have started another thread.

what about lighting schedule and and color spectrum? the spectrum might be a bit nit picky.

just trying to be productive. if i said something that's there i just missed it and disregard.

Great troubleshooting form rewrite. I can see that a novice (or non-native English speaker) might find it easier than the coded form.

Since I had a couple of days of free time lately, I came up with these revised* troubleshooting forms. (one for soil, one for hydro)
If you would kindly copy the appropriate section, (hydro or soil...not both) and post it into your own thread, and answer the questions.
The answers you provide to this form will help other's to get the full picture, and be better able to diagnose the problem. Answer all questions as best you can. Missing answers may lead to an inaccurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Good luck to ya...

maybe one for out door like environment,hours of shade, direct sun, in the ground, in a pot, condition of local soil if mixed and maybe locally grown crops


nice job

If they copy and paste, they can easily provide answers after each question. At least I'd think so...and the easier they make us understand their circumstances, the better the chance of their success. (neatness counts, and detention if work not shown) Answers in bold would be nice, too. Easier to scan the list.

But if history is any indication, it'll get filled out many different ways. Sort of a quasi Rorschach test, lol.


Well, someone with outdoor experience could likely throw one together with more insight than I, but it's a damn good Idea and I'm bummed I didn't think of it. <sticks tongue out at phatsesh>
(were you by chance volunteering?)

Res temp is L. on the list, but no...didn't do the ph'ing the rockwool one.

Am curious why FBR never answered my request for guidance regarding this project. I asked him a couple of times if and how I should approach this, but nada.. I wonder...do I take his silence as acquiescence or disapproval...?

Has anyone with outdoor experience put any thought into the outdoors form?

Hello out there I am a first time hydro grower. I need some advice. My bottom branches on my plant are drying turning pail and yellow I believe it was caused by a nute overdose when I moved my girl to flowering. Since then I have trimmed rusty brown roots added hydrogen peroxide. I was only 2 weeks into flowering at that time so I bumped it back to veggie stage for 2 more weeks now this is what I have see pics. As you can see the bottom branches are drooping but the top is thribing any suggestions?
