switched from MH to HPS now my plants are drooping

[detroitchaos]

hello i just switched from MH to HPS 5 days ago. since the switch my plants have drooped. i am running a aeroponics setup with 600w HPS. the leaves that are drooping are still nice and green. i use the technaflora line of nutes anyone with ideas let me know

 

[MrGhettoGrower]

I really doubt it was changing the lights did you just change water or nutes with whatever your call that thing you growing in?

 

[detroitchaos]

i didnt switch nutes from veg to flowering till yesterday. the plants showed drooping right after i switched the lights . the drooping has started from the bottom

do you a before and after photo ?

 

[detroitchaos]

before they stood proud. but as you can see from the pic i just posted they look sad now. there 5 weeks old

Something besides the lights had to of changed to make them look like that.

 

[detroitchaos]

i just changed the nutes to the flowering nutes. but i switched the lights days ago

Drooping like that is usually overwatering or underwatering. Check your roots, if they are not bright white, you could have issues with your aero setup, maybe a blocked jet. In hydro/aero, underwatering can be found in aero setups if you have blocked jets and overwatering is essentially lack of oxygen/air to the root zone, usually found in flood & drain or DWC. Check your equipment & roots thoroughly, that is where the problem lies. W

I don't agree that def looks like an issue with your nutes. the top groth shows no signs of over/under wattering. I'm thinking its a phosphorous deficiency. see any purple on the new growth?

They will perk back up, that plant just has to get used to the different spectrum

 

[detroitchaos]

no i dont have any purple showing. everything is nice and green. the roots are a nice white in color

 

[detroitchaos]

i took them from 20 hours of Mh light and switched them to 12/12 hps light could it be shock

 

[Robert Paulson]

You switched nutes and lights. and you are showing signs of P deficiency. why would you think its the lights?

 

[detroitchaos]

just thought the spectrum change would affect them. no leaves are dieng just drooping.

 

[max316420]

I'm tellin you dude, wait a few days and the will be back to normal

 

[max316420]

It will affect them, thats why you should wait a few days... I promise they will perk up

 

[detroitchaos]

its been 6 days so far is this common. the strain i am running is white rhino

 

[max316420]

Yup it's common, I used to do the whole mh to hps thing and my ladies would always do that.. Now I just use hps's for everything expect babies and cloning

 

[Robert Paulson]

Just dropping? They look like they are on their way to this. Maybe it just me but they look way darker and curled compared to everything else in the photo.

and never saw that much of a difference from using MH anyways
