What's best way to go about that now bro ? Just throw another pump on? I've mimic a pals design but he grows photos they were started in these pots I was hoping they would get enough air between the hydroton

Kinda a goofy setup you got going on. So those top pots are coco and then you have water under it? Are you able to see inside the bottom? How does it look down there?

But yeah. In hydro droopy plants is usually a root problem caused from not enough air or from pathogens killing them.

But they do not look to bad.

Those are midgets for 5 weeks in DWC. Why the coco at all? This is not good if it gets in the solution. Have you looked at the roots?

Simple fix, are their roots coming out of the black pots? If not just turn this into a drain to waste.Whomever set this rig up doesn't know what their doing.

Contrary to some opinion I've grown all my life and could see over last 24 HR something had changed only thing that can have changed in last 24 HR if all parameters are ok is the roots are longer by my thinking but I've never tried dwc I copied a pal who grows photo in similar set up 5gal buckets sat in a tray 4inch deep aerated n he hits ten a girl routinely

So thanks to the guys who gave me good info yesterday we seem to be on the mend, I just drilled some holes and stuck air lines in halfway up the pot, I'm pretty sure they are on the mend IMG_20211130_203649.jpgIMG_20211130_203649.jpg

I would get a decent air pump, those plants are too small for the tote, you are not getting enough dissolved oxygen in there.
