Fox farm nutrients and a bit of a problem.

Alright so earlier today around 10:30 I had to refill my resevoir with water. PH of 6.6 and I added about 1/4 of a teaspoon of foxfarm grow big nutrients. I mixed it with the water and put it in the resevoir. While I was doing this my plants were elevated on something with it's roots hanging in the air. I would say for about 15-20 mins. I put the plants back in. I have two plants. One that is about 5 inches tall and the other is still a small sprout. Anyway I put the resevoir back into my grow box along with the plants and left it there for 10 mins. I checked on the plants and my big plant was drooped down. All the branches and leaves were drooped down. The water leaves with 3 blades were curling on the sides of the blades and so I thought to myself....fuck...alright this could be shock from being out too long. So I waited 20 mins and checked again and the branches were sprung back up, but I looked at the three bladed water leaves and they were still kind of curled and they now have spots that look yellowish/white. The other leaves are still a bit droopy and soft to the touch. All of this happened only to the bigger plant. The other one stayed up and didn't do this at all. I am just wondering what people think. Was it shock? Will it recover? Also was the amount of foxfarm nutrients too little or too much or just right? I would post pics, but my camera is dead. Please Help. It will be appreciated. Thanks.

hydro should be around 5.8, and i don't know anything about the hydro version of grow big just soil.

Like drampire said hydro 5.8 ph yellow with white dotes on leaves sounds like mites not sure look on bottom sides running a small 6 plant flood and drain system.

im a bit of a noob, but since nobody else has commented, and since i have similar experience i will comment. i have noticed transplant shock when transplanting soil plants before. shortly after transplant the plant will droop hard. within a few hours mine have always come back. ive never noticed the leaf curl tho. imo, your roots experienced stress from becoming dry for 15-20min. u dnt want yr roots to dry out because this will cause damage to roots. next time let the roots hang in some water while u do yr thing. as for the leaf problem, it seems like it may be nute toxicity. have u always given them the same amt of nutes? i assume u are using the ff hydro nutes? this also could be from dry roots being put into fresh nute water, where they were starving for water, they may have "chugged" too much nutes, which is just a hypothesis so whoever wants to yell at me for trying to help this dude can suck it.

The spots on the leaves just appeared today, so I don't think it is mites or anything. Well I just started using foxfarm hydro nutes today. The roots could have dried. Your hypothesis is a good one, but I really don't have any idea. What I know is that my ph level is fine where it is. I said 6.6, but it may actually be more like 6.2 or lower. This is my first time using foxfarm nutes and I went by the table on the back of the bottle. But I used a little less than what they recommend because I heard the nutes are hot. My leaves never drooped like this before, and they never curled. I am going to post a couple pics right now.

Here is one of the full plant. Then the leaves with spots. My big plant seems a little more droopy now probably because it is almost time for it to sleep. Light goes off in 28 mins, but the drooping started right after I changed the water which was 6 hours ago.

No one has anything to say? lol

foxfarm says 3 tsp of grow big for week 3. week 4 is 3tsp of grow big and 1tbl of big bloom. also open sesame, but I like to sub that expensive shit for OTC bag nutes that are $50 cheaper

What were your ppm before and then after adding the bloom nutrient? cn

how they doin?

Much better. They are looking more alive and happier. I will post pics later.

Well here are a couple pics I took an hour ago of them sleeping. If you look at the larger one that is what it looked like when the shock happened the other day, except it was more droopy and looked dead almost. The light was on at that time too. Anyway I will post more pics later when the light comes on.

And here they are awake and looking good. There looks to be some yellowing from rapid growth. Take a look.
