The leaves dont get really Green and mostly the Veins are. The other Parts are yellowish.
Some leaves start to dry up from the edges, mostly older leaves tho.
This is my first shot at wasabi and I Regularly add:
-Iron.
-Magnesium sulfate.
-Potassium sulfate.
And a NPK 3/3/3 fertilizer on top.

I saw this and said “wtf is going on” out loud so first of all what are you trying to do? A nft system in dirt or a dripper system for normal soil gardening. I am confused op
What’s your PPFD? The brown edges of the leaves indicate heavy lighting or low humidity. Wasabi is a shade plant, 300 ppfd is what you should be shooting for.
(Don’t have a ppfd/PAR meter? Use Photone app for free with copier paper filter)
Im just starting my second try with wasabi. First was a recirculating drip bucket, and it did ok for a few weeks, but eventually rotted after throwing up three new leaves.
This go around i tried a DWC system, but the plants struggled. Only on or two have survived about 3 weeks, and they are still struggling.
I had a few extras this time around and stored them in my kratky seed propagater, and they are doing good.

So if this guy keeps growing im not sure what im going to move him into. My nft likely has too much light. I could try the drip system, but put the pump onna timer to allow the roots some drying cycles. Or now that i have some good new roots growing i can add to the DWC set up with the air pump on a timer.
My seed propagator is a low ec mix of GH fora series. Like a 1:1:1 proportioned to provide an ec of 400-600.
My dwc with less success was at 1700 ec
