Thank you all for the advice. To address some of the statements: Brita, Thanks for the encouragement. I am not giving up!!! Owen, I am using CFLs they do not put out much heat at all. Where I agree that heat is probably part of the problem I dont think much is coming from the [...]

Hello and thanks for the help. I have added some pictures of the dying plants to the original post as I am not seeing where to add them here. Yes, I added the plant food after the failure, no additional calcium. The plants get a fair amount of sunlight, but most of the light comes [...]

Forgot to mention. I have the water timer on 10 times a day for 15 min. Additional light add to the window puts it at an average of 30 foot candles. Should be plenty of light.

Hello-
My widow farm is built and water seems to be flowing well. I have a 4 column, 3 row system. I am having a hard time keeping plants alive however. I started out with plants from soil and after transplanting they seemed ok. Day 3 I had a system failure and they did not get water for a few hours and dried out a bit. After getting them going again I gave them some Bio Thrive Vegan Plant food and things seemed to get better. 2 Days later, however plants were starting to get a little fried and everything in the middle row died, the Oregano, Cilantro, and Dill. The top row, Parsley, all stems dried out but some new growth, (very little), Sage looks ok, Thyme and rosemary were fine, but not so much anymore. The only things that seem ok are the tomatoes on the bottom row, the strawberries and basil are alive but not doing very well. Most of my leaves are dried out and wilted. I changed my solution and went back to straight water to try to undo so of the fried but things are still not good. I hate killing so many plants!
Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.
