I started a grow out of my aerogarden and I went out of town for 5 days this past weekend. When I got back home the resevior was almost empty but still had water in it covering most of the roots. The branches seem to be drooping now though. In some of the pictures you can see where the branches have started to grow straight out instead of up. One of the leaves on the top branch grew to close to the light and looks like it was burned. Is this going to hurt my plant much? Whats wrong with my plant?

grnthmb,
whats that tube doing that you have coming out of the reservoir? CO2?

What do you mean you can only clone from the corners? Are you saying it needs to be the whole branch from the stem?
Its an air pump that makes bubbles inside the reservoir to help get the plants oxygen.

couple things -
if your using nutes, and the water gets low - then the nutes get stronger usually - which can jack up roots... not much you can do if thats the issue except flush (use pure water for a few days). the plants can choose to only drink H2O, and leave nutes in the water if they dont need it. if your not topping off the reservoir with water, the nutes can get too strong and toxic to the roots eventually.
the pics look like over heating almost - like it got into the 90s or higher...
change water - lil fan cool breeze - and wait it out...

It definatly wasn't close to 90 in the room. The max it gets to is about 80-85 and thats only when the heat in my house is turned up. The temp in the room usually stays right under 80. The only thing that got to be to hot is some of the top leafs on the plant. The plant grew to close to the lights when I was gone and a couple of the leafs were burnt, they almost look like they melted.
