I need help

Thank you. I will adjust tomorrow and see if that helps. I'm as high as I can go on my light and like I mentioned before I can hold my hand on the top of my plant without any discomfort whatsoever. I would guess my lights to be about 20" from the top of the plant. Still think it's heat/light stress? I'm pretty bummed. This is my first grow. I did my research and I felt confident, know this. I feel like all my time invested was for nothing. I have a feeling she probably won't successfully recover.

Dude don't give up its a learning curve especially if this is the first ever growing anything! Plus even the best grower has some sort of screw up the only constants I have are the few I can control. Other than that no two grows will ever be exactly like the last. For me I'm always learning and asking questions. My plants get me high on knowledge.........then really really high lol

Your plant is drinking so fast because of the heat. It just wants water to stay alive, it's bothered about living, not about flowering!

What it really wants is for you to turn down the temps to 75-77f. Then your humidity and temps will be great.

With a 400w hps in a good environment, I'd easily out yield a 600w hps in that environment. So would you!

Ditch the 600w hps and buy a 315w lec!

It's really not drinking that fast. I monitor the water daily. As far as temp and humidity, I'm within your suggested range, maybe a degree or two cooler even. My humidity is right around 70-75

Yeah need to get that humidity down some if possible or it will be bad result later.

Maybe lights burning off so much water it's causing some humidity?

nm saw pictures....looks like it's in a Dungeon..

God I hate concrete......poured many a wall....

What about my roots? Ok, I obviously know the importance of a healthy root system in a plant and I understand that root rot is a common problem in DWC. As I stated before, my roots look healthy and they're not slimy or smell funny. This morning when I was checking everything out something occurred to me. My roots have grown around all my bubblers and my water pump and are pretty much all on just the half of the container. As you can see in the pic, my container is only a 10 gal container and it's shallow too. What do you think the chances of my roots being bound are in a hydroponic setup. I guess I just assumed as long as they were in a healthy water solution that provided it with the nutes she needed that everything would be good. So I guess I need to hear some opinions on whether or not that could be an issue.

Think I have a pretty good idea. My reservoir was a flipping mess! I have just been siphoning the water out through the empty spot in my lid, I hadn't paid enough attention to everything. Long story short I believe it was a combination of built up salts in the bottom of the reservoir along with my bubblers being choked out by the roots which was starting to cause root rot. Lesson learned. Hopefully I can recover before it's too late.
