They’re small and idk 3 weeks old, no signs of deficiency aside from blossom end rot.

Was set up with Manutec 1L Hydroponic NK Plus For Fruit And Veg. Water is about half depleted, has been hot so possibly nutrients are concentrated?

pH had risen to about 7 from 6.5. I readjusted it to about 6.5. In dirt this range would be fine for calcium transport.

Oh hydroponic wisdom people, enlighten me. Should I just remix new solution? Add a supplement? Is pH for transport different in hydro?

Seems like you’ve got fungal infections (mildew and maybe butrytis).

I’ve heard that stuff like melons, cucumbers and so on aren’t very attractive to pollinators, so they can really benefit from hand pollination. I think virginity will be its cause if death :(

The pH range is fine I guess. It being a bit off won’t harm the plant catastrophically, it will only make absorption of some nutrients a bit harder.

I wish I could say something more uplifting, but I think it’s over. The fungal infection is too advanced, and the blossoms are dead, you can only take that as a lesson and try it again next year.

I’ve been able to keep courgette alive quite far into a powdery mildew infection. I think if they start manually pollinating and then remove the flowers after fertilization, they’ll be able to get some fruit off this.
