if your leafs are harsh drooping then its prolly a problem with the humidity being to low. in veg plants need a relative humidity of 60%. what are u sitting at?

i don't think so i was told keep it below 50 percent for root rot.. but it was at 44-48 when i had a the thermostat that gave off humidity level now i have a indoor outdoor doesn't tell me but it never went lower than 40 percent but tonight i did run the ac all night and Ive had to run it more lately because of the light being closer.. I'm going to rise the light i took out the extra water i put in and hopefully i wont have to run my ac to much do i need to invest in a thermometer for my res and do i have enough air stones??? is it ok if there's a single brown spot or 2 on the roots??? usually wipes right off.. .not sure.. could be cat hair.. o yeah and the stems that the leaves are drooping the most are purple could be the thermometer in the wrong place reading warm temp and the ac running all night actually froze them temporarily especially with the water to high or cold it be the res is low temp because im on ground level and the concrete under the carpet right on the res is cold??? i think its due to cold looking at the stems now but the odd thing is the temperature has been fine.. maybe i should get a res thermometer? whats the cheapest i can get away for a thermometer for my res?and do you guys think its due to cold?
