Hey everyone! I am new to hydroponics and growing. One of my plants is looking a bit rough and was hoping you guys could chime in at what you might think is the issue.
My guess is over watering, I did a hydro run for my last indoor grow and had a tough time getting seeds correctly started until I found a system that worked for me. Probably killed 5-10 sprouts over the course of a couple months. I found putting an air stone below the area I wanted to root and having the pressure high enough to just barley mist the bottom of the cup holding my plant and pebbles, I avoided over saturating the plant during its early stages. When it’s young there’s no developed water roots so there’s a potential to overwater – once the water roots form that issue should subside. (I think of it like telling the plant “hey there’s water down here this way, come get it.”)
