Couldnt be lock out because the plant is healthy lokking minus the droop. Its an ebb and flow system so the root mass gets flooded periodically, not like your dwc system your running. If its over wateing like it looks like the solution is most likely to flood less often.

Nutelock is the disability for the plant to feed itself most often caused by inappropriate pH range in the solution.
No matter what kind of DWC system it is as far as the plant has no space to breath it will be drowning.
But ye in case the guy hasn't fed it yet u are totally right but in that case i believe a person not feeding his plant is most likely not to maintain their pH either.

Your pH is too high for hydroponics. You should maintain it at around 5.8. You are more likely having nutelock.
I recommend u use hydro pH down if u want it simple. Other alternative is sulfuric acid. Concentration at 98% should be deluded 10:1 with DI mineral free water. Then use few drops to balance the pH. What are u feeding your plant?

I agree the crinkled leaf look is probably a ph fluctuation issue I stay at 5.9 for dwc. I use gh ph up and down to control. Did you rinse and ph balance your cubes before using?

Oh no my friend, if your useing slab or 6" brick cubes its very easy to over water. Post a thread asking opinions of watering shedule in your flood and drain and you might have the answer to your droop. How often are you flooding? Im no expert at ebbing but i thought it was usually one to two 15 minute floods a day when using rockwool and about four with hydroton if your on a four foot table.

Theres a reason just about every time i start attacking plant problems that guys will quote my posts and say...what he said, or the op will quote saying thanks alien, ill keep you informed as to how she turns out, thanks for taking the time to work with me on this. <got two of those last night. Ive been doing this a long time and when im wrong ill admit it, im not as arrogant as you think, ive just seen a lot of problems in my day and i try not to add unless i know for a fact that thats what the problem is. Unless i say in my quote, im just guessing because of lack of knowledge, or, it might be this and then i inquire about the facts in order to gather more data to produce a more accurate hypothesis. Usually the poster tells you exactly what the problem is with your questioning and you can help steer them in the right direction. The three most common problems are in this order...over watering, over feeding, and then over lighting. Get the ph thing out of your head, lock out in small plants is rediculous but i hear it all the time, seedlings yellow two weeks in on a coco grow and no feeds been given and someone says ph is off and i want to snap. Trees grow out of rocks, grass grows through cement, plants are strong and adaptable but if you drown them, poison them, or scortch them they die. Ph is the least of their worries for the regular new grower.

I said it before him. Just to let u know.
and P.S. Alienwidow i didn't bother reading it all its just too long.

Thats too bad,cthats good info on how to navigatr the plant problems with ease. I know how you dont like to read though...or was that the joke? See? I do have a sence of humorI said it before him. Just to let u know.
and P.S. Alienwidow i didn't bother reading it all its just too long.

P.P.S I forgot to mention Alienwidow is troll who actually gives very bad advises and kill plants aka Plant Killer along with another friend or two in the forum to support him. Or maybe he is using several accounts.
He is not an actual member as he hides his activities so u can not track his recent posts.
He is posting with 100 msg per hour to keep his rank high.
He is more of a forum troll than actual assisting person.
Don't take his advice as professional. Do extra research yourself to confirm the information said by anyone.

In soil inappropriate pH will stun ur grow or at least not as good as if u maintain the proper level. When u water a plant, the water kept in the soil in time will lower its own pH level. I use wood dipped in my aquarium for regulate my pH. Lets put it that way look at the chart. At certain point of pH plant can absorb certain minerals. Now imagine when u water the plant with 6.5. At the very beginning the plant will will absorb the minerals available at 6.5 and with time water pH will drop and other minerals will be available. As far for hydroponics u need to maintain the proper pH level where most minerals are available for the plant to be able to feed itself.

I'd laugh on that. Maybe the same way u had over 1000 corps and over 100 strains in ur 1000 farms?
P.S. I apologize in the zeroes were not in appropriate order to what u said it was just an example.

Nobody supports me, im a lone wolf like on blades of glory miss. Ive never killed a plant in my life besides a vegtable or two. And yes, pleas do some resarch to check my suggestions, research all suggestions, or your a guppy swiming with the stream.
