walked into the flower room this morning, there are 4 different strains on the table. they are about 6-7weeks into veg. two of the same stain this morning were REAL droopy. nothing has changed since last night, any ideas?

well i tried to upload pic but my comps bein a p.o.s! ok saw that the heat came up last night, what can i do to make the girls happy again? also what would you do if it was "overwatered" they are on flow tables, they get flooded about 3 times a day.

Bro, I'm having a similar problem in my 600W DWC Cabinet. I read it could be from not getting enough oxygen to the roots. I also read that Hygrozyme is great for root health so I'm giving it a shot, along with a fresh changeover in my reservoir. Also, my air stones were kinda clogged with what appeared to be algae, cleaned them also. I'll let you know if the Hygrozyme worked.

in hydroponics, its pretty much impossible to over water your plants. its more likely than not a lack of oxygen. your plants look decent nutrient wise, just a little choked up. maybe throw some air stones in your res for the table and the dwc just keep it clean (i've used hygrozyme and its pretty awesome). how long are you flooding the table for?

your roots probably are not getting enough oxygen. if you going hydro you should add more of those bubbler things to put more oxygen in the water. i do soil myself and am not an expert in hydro. but i know plants get like that if the roots are not getting enough oxygen.

bongsurf-the tables get flooded til the cubes are about half submerged.

pretty much anything you can pick up at walmart or petsmart for an equivalent sized fish tank (pump, tubing, airstones and for a 70-100 gal res the larger strip looking airstones would probably be best). something like this: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3813197&keepsr=0&clickid=body_rv_txt

check out al b fuct's harvest every two weeks thread (its a sticky in hydroponics/aeroponics), i think he uses tables and has a lot of information on them

Your stems look very weak and thin, one of my plants died and looked the same, im not sure why. But im fair sure it was either bugs, or stress from transplanting. Or just from mal-nourishment from a younger age? Also you said there in veg stage?

they have bud on them, there in flowering. do u have a timer? it could be from light timing issues, the same happened to my friend who didnt have a timer, he just turned them on and off when he wanted. Then the same thing happened to him.

Hope i helped a little

if its heat stress, try to bring the ambient temp of your plants down to at least below 80F (ideal photosynthesis happens b/t 75-82, i think i've seen before). they should recover at least a little but hopefully they're not too far gone. try to add ventilation where ever possible and make sure your light isn't too close to your plants

heres a thought, my buddy wanted to flush for 3weeks! so they're on the second week of flush. maybe need to throw a weak mix of nuts in for a couple more days?
