no wonder, those suckers are upside down!
More photos, roots too.
I just read a comment on a post I started, I'm having a nutrient burn problem due to being a dumbass but this dude said you can't burn stuff with foxfarms, I really can't see how that is but I've never used it. I just assume the roots are hanging in the water or you have sprayers that feed the roots before they break the netpot and make for the water/nutrient. I've had clones wilt like that when I forgot to turn the pump back on in the cloner. Its really hard to tell with your photos .
Also water temp, if the water is too cold they will wilt like that one photo.

You say water temps are fine but theres obviously a water pump involved somewhere since you mentions foggers, those roots just don't look healthy to me and for being in veg for 5 weeks those plants should be huge. Whats your water temps? submersible water pumps will heat water up fairly quick. For instance , these haven't been in veg for 30 days even.Picture 1506.jpgPicture 1507.jpgPicture 1508.jpg

Note that temp btw, I've been going to a lot of trouble to keep it down but today the ac wasn't on in the house and it got pretty warm, I run great white though so I should be ok. If your temps are high I'd suggest bennies, great white, voodoo juice and many many more to choose from, or theres hiessies earthworm casting tea but that was too much work for me.Some of you probably gonna say my ppm is too high and you may be right but I dropped it to the current in the photo from 1500+ and I am noticing some burn. This isn't about me though, my problems are small compared to this guy, I've actually got some pretty decent stuff on flush now even though I'm a bonehead and ran my ppm up to double or so.Lets help this guy out!

My temps are fine could it be too much fertilizer my roots are brown like the fox farm nut
You keep saying your temps are fine without stating just what they are. It could be to much nutrient but you haven't stated what ppm you set nutrient solution at. You say you're following a feeding schedule but does that mean you're just adding the recommended amount of nutes per gallon of water or do you use a meter ? if I followed instructions on the bottles of sensi I'd be back to the 1800+ ppm and burning my stuff again.
