Water not being up to the net pot doesnt seem to be the problem for a plant that size . Looks more like a ph problem or something....ive had water levels drop wayyyyyyyy below the net pot with no problem, hell, I dont even fill to the bottom of the net pot.....check ph, good luck

i keep the ph at 6 the highest i let it go is 6.4. could hv been been the peroxide cleaner i use in the water.... 17%..... but would it still grow if it was damaging it?

when this happens to me it is usually a ph problem. I find when they droop that bad they will come back but most the leaves underneath get dry and hard. I just did this last week.lol It took me about 4 days to get It to come back healthy. it really slows the growth down bad. in my experience anyway.
also I have wilted my plants with to cold of water when I did rez change. but usually my ph is to high when this happens.

start at 5.5 and let it rise up to 6 but don`t go above that.
