A little help from fellow growers please?

It didnt. Its also on a very heavy duty surge protector with a built in breaker and it didnt trip either. I don't know the gauge but the cord is 3 times as thick as one of those heavy duty orange outdoor extension cords. All cords and timers are 15 and 20A.
I am talking about the total power coming into your house. Just because it has only 3 circuit breakers doesn't necessarily mean you are using all your power available.

Ah, I see what your saying. Im not sure. I know we get a paper from the power company every month showing our power consumption compared to the neighbors because we are always using more than them. Even when i'm not running high powered lights. Power spikes are the risk of indoor growing.

Does anyone see anything wrong with this plant other than the little bit of nute burn at the tips? Its not standing straight up toward the light like normal. The roots are great for only 9 days and gaining 2"-3" of root per day. Its time to change nutes tomorrow and im going to go with half the strength as the first time which was week one on the GH Flora Series RDWC chart.

It's droopy despite lights are on. Over/underwatering, and/or heat stress, although heat stress usually presents as cupping.

Its not doing it now, its pointing toward the light again. Shouldnt be over watering, its growing in water and theres so much bubbles the water looks like it boiling. My tent temp averages about 76f. I read that plants will rest at times durring long daylight hours. Hopefully thats all it is. Other than the nute burn the plant looks perfect from roots to nute burned tips. The roots are real thick, snow white, and growing about 3" a day.

Is it a problem if roots tangle, should they untangled while still thin enough to do so? Even if I do I have so much bubbles I think they will just tie in a knot again. I know tangled roots in soil cultivation can cause root binding and stunt plants but what about DWC? My plants are in single buckets by the way. I can only find info about tangled roots when plants are tangled together but that doesnt answer my question if its ok that roots are tangled or not. Will the tangled root cause any growth problems in general?
