Your temps are swinging too high, you need them balanced, that causes the plant to use nutes and then conserve them with those temps.
Your plants look like they are overwatered and very droopy, what is the color of your roots? Can you take picture of it's roots?
Your plants are lacking micronutrient, the veins at the top of the plant are yellow and normally that happens to plants that lack zinc, never seen it happen before in hydro plants...... not saying this is zinc, but your plants are lacking micronutrients for one....
what is your ppm/EC with the nutes you got mixed in there now?
We need to first start on how much nutes you gotta have and then go from there.

Hello,
I Used The Grow Which Was OK. But The Bloom Should Be Taken Of The Market Till They Fix It.
But You've Never Used Bloom? There's Been A Few That Talk Highly Of DG But They All Say, "But I Didn't Use Bloom". Why Not?
I Don't Remember His Name. He Comes Here. He Even Sells DG On EBay. He Talked Highly About DG He Also Said, "But I Didn't Use Bloom".
If This Stuff Is So Wonderful Why Didn't They Use Bloom?
Thank You

I think that people do not use the bloom because they see nitrogen in it and are instantly scared away...... But I use DG bloom, and I also use dyna gro pro mag (during flower), that adds a bit more phosphorus, I use little of pro-mag during the middle of flowering, but up the dose in the finals weeks for the extra phosphorus boost......

Hello Stitch,
Are You Ready? Please When You're Saying On What To Do I Need You To Word It Like You Were Talking To A Kid. My VR Will Go Through It & Make It So I'll Be Able To Understand. I'll Have To Go Through A Few Times. Then My Ex-Girlfriend (Shelly) Who Lives A Few Houses Down Will Read It & Give Me Any Info That I Missed. The Only Thing Is She Knows Nothing About MJ.
Now:
For The Last 1 1/2 Days I've Been Trying To Keep The Rez Temp To About 65-70F.
Roots Color: Real Light Brown. During Veg They Were Bright White & "Crisp" Looking. I Got Some Pics Of The Roots (What An Ordeal).
PPM As Of 10am 09-28-2009: 632 EC: I Know What EC Is Buts That's It.
They Only Stuff In The Rez Is PH'd RO & 4 Teaspoons Of Cal/Mag.
If You Want Me To Change The RO To Start New Let Me Know.
At This Moment This Is What I Have:
Dyna Gro Grow & Bloom. I Think The Bloom Is Part Of The Problem?
Botanicare Cal/Mag+ 2-0-0
Botanicare Sweet 0-0-0
Botanicare Clearex
Superthrive
Some Old Miracle Gro
What Nutes & Additives Should I Buy? Something Reasonably Priced.
I Wish I Could Meet You To Shake Your Hand, Take You & Family Out Some Day!
Thank You
Longhair
PS !!!JUST FOUND OUT THAT PH PEN DIED!!!
This Was Found Out 5 Hrs. After This Was Posted.

Longhair, that is your problem. Your roots are rotting and that is WHY your whole plant's system is in shutdown.
Go to a hydrostore and get some SM90 and use it as the directions says. Then when they recover me or anyone else if they want to chime in can help you from square one on what step to take next.
Those roots need to be white, some nutes can stain them, but this is a classic root rotting.
Your roots are sick and can't eat food, this is why your plants look so sick.
What is your water temperatures right now?
This will be kind of hard for you possibly,
Every hose, every bucket your plants water has touched needs to be rinsed out with hot water and some hydrogen peroxide mixture to kill the bacteria from coming back.
You can also take a different bucket, mix 2 tsp of hydrogen peroxide per 1 gallon of water and dip your plants roots in and out of that mixture to kill a lot of bacteria, won't kill it all.
DO not mix the hydrogene peroxide in with your nutrient water.
Every plant you have must be done the same way I typed above.
You can also get some hydroguard, this will help prevent it; but it's only good for short time if you can't keep water temps cool.
Hydro is very expensive if you are on a budget, it's not a good idea to; if I were you since your on a fixed income, I would put the hydro aside and start using dirt. DWC is one of the more expensive hydro setups.

Water Right Now It Is A Steady 65-67.5F For Over 2 Days. I Can Keep The Rez Temp. At Any Temp You Want.
First You Said It Was Cal/Mag Now Its Root Rot. If I Was Told Earlier That It Had Root Rot That Would Of Saved Over A Week Of Time. And That Much Time Of Letting The Plant Die Instead Of Actually Helping The Plant Live.
I Wont Bother You Again.
Thanks

You said the roots were off white in your post when you answered the questions, you did not say anything about what color the roots were. after that post, those pictures you posted are BROWN, dark brown... no where near the color off white like you stated they were.
Off white means they have a tinge to them, the color those roots are are brown, why did you not list them being brown when you answered the questions?
You would have saved yourself all this trouble if you would have answered correctly.
This is why it's important to list all those questions correctly, so things like this do not happen
You also only posted problems with the leaves and did not take a picture of the whole plant, after I seen the plant itself in those pictures in post #40; this is why I asked what color the roots were since I knew they could not be white when I seen the picture of the entire plant itself, rather just the leaves, you can't go by just the picture alone most of the time.
here is what I said in post #42
ME or anyone else is not the grower, You are,we can only go by what information you have given. When you have root rot your plant can show everything wrong it makes it mimic or look alike another problem, when it's the roots that is the main cause.
How can someone help someone when they do not give the correct information and at first hardly any pictures till much later in the thread?
I know you have a problem understanding things, but that is why it's extremely important to list everything correctly, so something like this does not happen.
