Lemon Skunk Problem, Need Help +Pics

So up until today everything has been going great, I left for work around 10:00 this morning and came home 6 hours later and the lemon skunk has no pop to it, the whole plant is limp, all the fan leaves have started drooping and alot of the buds have to. Thing is my Mk ultra and my Hashplant haze are doing just fine. Im on my 4th week of flower and really dont want to loose her!

Specs

400w hps
Dwc
Gh Nutes Lucas Formula
Hygrozyme
Temps 65-72
ph 5.5 - 5.8


2 days ago i did a reservoir change, This time though i added gravity, I didnt add any nutes, just the gravity and hygrozyme. The instructions say to add the gravity to water with no nutes for 3 days before adding nutes, then gradually add nutes back up. Seeing as how this didnt start till today and i added gravity on friday i think it might be the gravity.

Whats everyone elses thoughts? Really need some advice quick..

oh noz, airstone and bubbles are flowing good? I quit DWC because I got tired of killing plants, hope she springs back.

(btw, Michael Phelps is the best screen name… ever… blahahahaha)

^ ya, i have 2 airstones in their so they are getting hella good bubbles, i think its gotta be the gravity.

Anybody else?

looks overwater or tursty to me. add more air/h202 hydrogen peroxide to the water

Gravity, Purplemaxx, Snow Storm ultra, Bush master all need to be used sparingly. I've never pushed it above half dosage, and I still fried some plants. IMO you should only be using these products on a strain you are growing consistently and are sure they can handle it. Even the snow storm ultra states right on the bottle "some plants can take it, others can't" knowing you have a strain that can take it is important or your really wasting your time.

On a side note, i would expect burn from those products... this does look much more like oxygen deprivation from the roots, a lack of water, or a severe lack of light.

I appreciate the replys, Ya know i think the lack of air bubbles might be it, cause i noticed last night that one of the air hoses where kinked and no air was coming out of their, They are def getting enough light, 400w hps, 250w of cfl's, The other thing is my root ball is so big that when i put a full 6 gallons in my reservoir it fills it up to the bottom of the net pots, doesnt give it any air gap anymore.

Alright so bought a stronger air pump today, So as of now im running 3 airstones so their is lots and lots of bubbles, also i removed alittle water so their is about a 2 inch gap between nets and water, I think they might have shown alittle improvement, none of the leaves are standing but the stems are still stiff and the top colas still appear to be growing towards the light. They are still at no nutes, just straight water, should i add some nutes to the reservoir? Thing is i have 2 other plants in the same reservoir that are doing fantastic and i hate depriving them of nutes.

Here are some pics from today

How are the roots looking and smelling on the lemon skunk?

^Slightly brown, but i think they are just died from the micro flora from gh cause i use hygrozyme and the roots smell fine. I think the thing that fucked me is the rootball for the 3 plants is so big that when i put a full 6 gallons of water in the reservoir it fills up the reservoir and their was no air gap between the bottom of the net pots and the water, also one of the air hoses was kinked so it was only getting about half the bubbles.

Like i said though i know have 3 airstones and a much much bigger air pump.

Question.

After seeing those pics do you think the lemon skunk will be able to recover? Im really hoping for her..

^bump, After lookin at the pics do you guys think their is any chance of recovery?

I have seen worse looking plants recover. Be sure the roots dont look slimy at all as brown slime might be your issue too. Whats your PH running in your rez?

Did you check the humid? Hey What does H202 do for the plants? I heard they clean the roots and help the plants did you try that? Good luck bro, hey let us know the outcome.

Thats def good to hear! The roots arnt slimy at all, they are alittle brown and discolored but again i think they are just died because the GH floramicro is dark brown and ive heard of them somewhat staining the roots. I run my ph between 5.5 and 5.8, Very occasionally i will let it get up to 6.1 or so but thats very seldom.

Thanks for the reply!

I live in a dry region so my humidity is only like 20%, Yes h202 cleans the roots, but currently im using hygrozyme and it was working fine... Maybe i should switch

What is the active ingredient in hydrozyme, if there is nothing on the bottle what does your nose tell you it is.

^ it doesnt say on the bottle, it says secret formula...

Smells like absolute shit haha

Hey can you grab some clones to keep the strain? Or just grab some clones.

No man the plant is def in piss poor condition, ill try and grow her again someday, just order another dna lemon skunk. As of today im going to cut her down, strip any resinous matter i can off her and save it for when i make hash.

Dissapointing. I'd say you should just try another res change without this gravity you speak of and just give her some regular nutes or maybe a flush for a day and see if she recovers. I remember droopy leaves when I used to grow in soil that was from my plants being underwatered and you're growing hydroponically.... so thats a confusing one. I'd hope you'd give her another chance. I'm currently growing 20+ SOG PK clones in a 50+ gallon DWC system and my rockwool is usually dry because in most areas bubbles don't even pop at the top anymore. I have probably about a foot high of water in that reservoir and its very hard for those weak bubbles to get to the top.

Ya man it sucks way way bad. Ya know i actually did switch out the reservoir with just straight water for 3 days and the plant only got worse, i think that it was just so oxygen deprived that it drowned, thing is one of my air hoses was kinked so only one side of my reservoir was getting bubbles. I waited as long as i could to see if she would recover, but yesterday she was in such bad shape, most of the fan leaves shriveled and dried, and the i just figure i better do it before its to late.

Anyways i stripped her of all the resinous plant matter early yesterday, Let it dry out, weighed it and i have over a QP of resinous matter. I was unsure if the thc was far enough along to get me high so i dried a bud and smoked it and surprisingly i got high as shit off a bowl.. I mean it was way heady and tasted like shit but i was def blazed after.

How big of an area do you have the SOG in.. How spaced out are the plants? How much are you expecting to get off each plant?

Reason i ask is cause next grow im thinkin about vegging 5 different moms for a few weeks then cutting them down to clones and just running a SOG.
