Ok so I got some clones about a week ago and everything was going well until I woke up this morning, 2 out of the 6 plants growing are experiencing wilting leaves and the top of one the plants is starting to bend over, i'm still pretty new to the hydro but my ph. is sitting between 6 and 6.5, have the correct amount of nutrients and plenty of light to go with it. My setup is a box system with the 6 plants coming in from the top, the water sitting in the bottom and a pvc pipe running between the 6 plants using 5 sprinkler heads to spray water on the roots. I was not using the bubble disc to create oxygen bubbles in the reservoir but added it around an hour ago with no noticeable changes so far. I'm a newb and know it but am looking for any type of advice I could get, Thanks!

They should'nt be getting THAT sick from those ph levels alone, especially the one that is bending at the top.

Have you recently added nutrients?
What are the temps?
Have you adjusted ph recently? if so how much?

Its hard to say, but anytime you change things around the plants can get super stressed.

I would dilute the solution by 50% and make things as stress free as you can for em. No fan directly on em, light not too close, perfect temp in room...etc.

Could it not be overwatering....is the one Diesel thats struggling-Does it have the least developed root system or perhaps getting the most water from the "spriinkler heads"--what are you using for sprayers?? Sprinklers....like Rain Bird-Irrigation products--like I have in my lawn!!??

Those may be putting out too much water if thats the case. Those products are manufactured to distribute large volumes of water or a decent sized are fairly quickly..Like a lawn.....

I don't know, hard to tell from the picks.....the airstone is a must and should help.

Good Luck

If you just added the airstone then that is the prob. Give it some time. In that system as soon as the roots touch water they need alot of bubbles. Keep it aorund 5.8 becasue higher or lower it cant absorb nutrients. Higher it would have missed i think according to the chart iron. whatever, cool chart. anyway, wow do you need an airstone, that what mine woulda looked like.
