my leaves are drooping in my 5 gallon dwc setup i dont think its over nutrients cause im using a small portion of the amount said to use by the bottle cause of this problem. they are kush plants grown from seed in a 4x4x6 mylar tent with a small 4 inch fan pulling throuh a small homemade carbon filter.let me know if ya can think what it might be oh ya there under a 120w led and its only the first growth leaves the new growth is looking good.:blsmoke::blsmoke::blsmoke::blsmoke:

Pics would reallly help if you can manage to get some.. but a 4x4x6 setup seems rather large for a 120w bulb.. seems like your probably going to lose a lot of light.
how far is the light from your plant?
and do you have any fresh air coming into the tent? also whats the temp inside?

i can try and get some pics up the light is hangin nice and close 5 or 6 inches at most i dont have fresh air in besides i leave the door open but i do have a 4 inch fan pulling out through a homemade carbon filter as far as temp i gotta go buy a thermo but i would say 20 to 24 degrees or so

well with a big space like that idk if leaving the door open is good.. that letting even more light leak seeing how you dont have many watts.
ill check out your vid
as for the temp.. get a therm once u can bcuz 20-24 degrees isnt possible lol thats below freezing point

When you say droopy leaves I immediately thought 'NOT ENOUGH LIGHT', then I read youre using 120w LED's and my original thought is confirmed. In the end ,you get what you pay for so do yourself a favour and consider using (at least) a fluorescent if heat and energy consumption is an issue or better still, a HID light.

Im guessing youre a Brit like me Curly, coool. ... But not silly Americans, silly you for not specifying the scale you were using, as is standard notation when discussing temperatures. We're global after all.
peace.

im having a droopy leaf problem one day the plant is fine and the next all the leaves are drooping and next day plant is dead, thought it might b a heat problem, but the temp has been below 80 f for the last two weeks and one plant seems to die every other day. i must have some kind of root fungus or would anyone have any ideals on what the problem would be. the soil looks really moist like the roots wouldnt take any of the water , not sure but its starting to worry me and think i may lose entire crop, ive lost fifteen over the last month

Yes.. IMHO.. Maybe (if correct) a tiny bit low but nothing to worry about ... its around the temperature of a moderate to warm spring/summer day. I would be happy with those temps as its around the same as the ambient temps outside in the UK. ... My rooms are typically a few degrees warmer.:-?

Without seeing your room and inspecting the plants it would be difficult to offer any useful answers to your predicament.... If its that bad though I might consider repotting with fresh soil/perlite mix, or whatever you use..... If they are root bound maybe use a slightly larger pot and tease the roots out gently as not to damage them before you re-pot.... Unless something is really weird like exotic pests or fungus this should help dramatically.

ummm watering is i just let it get down to a cerytain level and then fill it back up haha not sure if ya caught im using a deep water culture setup but also im new so should i have them on a more regular schedule cant see how that would effect things really as even when i add more water the roots are still pretty much fully submerged
