30 days into grow. Fan Leaves droppy

Im 30 days into my grow.

I am using
-3 -5 gallons DWC buckets
-2'x'3'x'6 grow tent
-250 watt ups light
-temp is 77-80 degrees during light on
-temp is 70-73 degrees during light off
-ph level is 5.6
-light cycle is 18hr on

I have lowered the level to about an 1" below the net pot.

All the smaller leaves look very healthy, its just the fan leaves that are droopy.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Thank you so much

I don't do hydro but it looks like youre probably doing lots of stuff wrong..... plant looks terrible bro....... looks like a do over...

hi I don't do hydro either but you say you've lowered the water down and I see you've rockwall and im sure ive seen loads about it holding lots of water ie oversoaking if your not carefull, id be looking towards that, from what ive read lowering the water is a good thing to encourage the roots out/down, the other thing is air are you getting good d,o in there? anyway hope a hydro person comes along to help ya, or try reposting in the hydro/bubble room good luck

What do your roots look like, it looks over watered and could be root rot in your rockwool

hey guys! Thanks so much for replying. What a great community.


I'm actually in route on a 14 hr plane travel..

I'll post more pictures as soon as I get my laptop up and running.



So I'm growing 3 plants.


The roots on all plants look amazing.


The bottom of the net pot is fully covered with roots.


All 3 plants look very healthy. I know from the one pic it looks bad but after I lowered the water, about a week ago..all 3 plants have grown about 2".

They are not really growing tall but growing wide.


All the leaves on the plants look strong, green and healthy.

It's just the big big fan leaves.

They are still droopy.
