2 weeks ago there was a massive heat wave where I live (okay, so it only peaked at like 98), but on that day I had a beautiful Snow Cap clone bite the dust. Within four hours it wilted (drooped?) into nothing. The next day, the other four clones in my veg chamber did the same (they were all younger). I had just introduced 2 new clones from a club into the veg room as well. I thought it was a heat issue, so re-installed an AC unit into the room. That did not help any of the clones. Total loss.

So... the room got cleaned, the nutrient solution dumped, tank and all assosiated parts cleaned. New clones were gotten, and a new solution mixed up. 2 days into the new set up... and the clones are wilting/drooping and turning yellow. There is decent circulation, the AC unit isn't on all the time, but it is on during any "warm/hot" time.

I thought it could be over watering, so changed my timer to 120 minutes off, 6 minutes on (using a bubbleponics set up for veg). Still no help. The local hydro shop thought it might be nitrogen toxicity (with the first set) so I used a weaker nutrient solution. This isn't my first crop, and nothing in the veg room changed between groups of clones. Any idea's?

Ph is around 6.5, water temp is cool, nutrient solution is on the weak side (my TDS meter is missing), and I have searched the forums, what i found pointed me in a few ways (some mentioned above), but none of the threads actually helped any.

If it is NOT heat, I wonder if some cleaning chemical is killing your plants? Have you used anything wierd in the tank?

Well, it did start happening right after I used Voodo Juice (it is being used in the second stage too, with absolutly no issues), that is why we thought it might be nitro tox (nitrogen fixing bacteria doing thier job too well?).

The resevoir was cleaned using a strong h202 solution (I think 30% right from the bottle). No cleaning chemicals. The water is bottled/purified (.25 cents per gallon fill up thinga ma bob).

The current set up only has water, and nutrients, no voodo juice. Looks like you and I are using the same set up as well roseman (CFL bubbleponics).
