A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Plant pests and problems Many problems with my hydroponic greenhouse

I have many plants growing that are having issues. I am trying to post the pictures to view but am having issues as well. Can anyone help explain how to post pictures on this forum?

inside there it explains about posting photos and many other things as well.

ok thanks so much for the help!!! I really appreciate it. Okay, here goes. I will try to load my pictures.











Here are just a few. Some are in a hyrdroponic greenhouse, the mango tree is planted in the yard, and the rest are in pearlite media. Thanks so much. I could really use the help.

Here is the pictures of the strawberry plant leaves that didn't load,

I wish I could help you but I know very little about hydroponics. Most of your plants seem to be showing signs of over watering though. The cracked tomato and the browning leaf edges for a couple. You could have a little rust problem as well. I just don't know. Bur when you find an answer and a fix I'd love to hear about it and see the better results.

This is a hard question to answer because I don't know the history of your hydroponics greenhouse garden. When was the last time you cleaned and/or replaced the solution?

You should also make sure your solution is circulating properly and doesn't have any debris such as odd bits of plants, or fragments of the media in it blocking circulation.

You should also test the pH of the solution. When plants go through fast growth, particularly just before maturity, they give off more wastes. This over-saturation of wastes raises the acidity in the solution. So either replace it completely if the acidity is too high OR dilute it down with water.

greenhouse hydroponics are really easily subjected to parasite infestations which do respond well to vinegar treatment.

Also, did you flush the system and clean it well between crops? If you empty the beds, dump the solution, and flush out the pipes, trays and medium, you can go ahead and do it with a 1:5 ratio of vinegar:water. Very simple but effective.

If you could give more information, perhaps I could be more helpful!

I would suggest you to check pH and hydroponic nutrients that you usually use for your hydroponic growing needs.
