Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi there! The above photos are my Chye Sim that I had transplanted into my system slightly more than a month ago. Some of the leaves look shriveled up and glossier than other leaves.



This is how the shriveled leaves look like next to a normal leave from the same plant.
Can somebody enlighten me on what went wrong and how do I fix this?

Current pH level: 6.6
Ammonia level: 0.25ppm
Nitrate level: 0ppm
Nitrite level: 1.0ppm

Ammonia level reached 4.0ppm a week ago but went down after we tackled the problem.

They just look like new leaves to me... But just to be sure, how do your roots look? I find that with my DWC plants, I need to keep the roots clean, or my plants will start to wilt.

How long has it been since the leaves have been like that ?

Hmm, I really don't think so. Only a handful of plants on one side of the farm have leaves like that


When I first noticed it, it was 10 July. According to the group of friends who were the previous owners of the farm, some of their vegetables shriveled up like that too but they never found the solution.

seems like u got a calcium deficiency problem... cus it seems to be affecting your new growth more.. what types of plants are u growing.. and what are u using to buffer your system
