Just to add on that, it's usually from the lighting. Productive plants need lots of light.
Yep!... :thumbright:

For Charlie the non-believer, my indoor system as of 10 minutes ago... :mrgreen:

I could... but then I'd have to kill you!

Aww, okay... just one...

That's a 600w HID light over that system... Fluoro's aren't worth a pinch of goat poop, even T5HO's (unless you're just growing fancy lettuce varieties)... Good quality LED's are much better than fluoro's and nearly on par (pun intended) with HID's, but very expensive... cheap LED's will just end up in the bin... Trust me!

Made a change to the system to save my plants, wanted to try the floating bed anyhow. This added about 12 gallons of water to the system and so far so good! Went to an LED grow light and that seems to have perked up the lettuce. Test is out of wack but I will let it mellow out for a day or two since adding more water to the system.... Let me know any thought!!! Have a good day!
