Plant Wilting for no reason??

Dunno why but my prize plant just started wilting today for apparently no reason. I had added 30 mL of Hydrozyme about 2-3 hours earlier but that's never caused a reaction like that before so I don't think that's to blame.

Plant is in a 5 gal bubble bucket with 3.5 gal of RO water. I change res every week. I add:

- 22.8 mL Advanced Nutrient Grow

- 22.8 mL Advanced Nutrient Micro

- 5 mL Advanced nutrient Bloom

- 14 mL Botanicare Aquashield

- 14 mL Botanicare SilicaBlast

Also pH is kept at or very close to 6. Air is supplied from an airstone connected to a 175 Gallon rated air pump.

What's going on here?

I changed the bucket and cleaned out everything just now, filled with 3.5 gal fresh RO water, and added the right amount of nutes and adjusted pH to about 6 exactly. Is there anything else I can do? Plants still looking droopy but i dont expect it to come back instantly

I also think heat might be a factor. The plants were growing very close to the t5 floros so i raised them to about 3-5 inches away, time will tell if it worked

no idea on ppm, i normally just change the res every week and add exact amount of proper nutes and hope it'll be alright.

the plant drank up ALOT of water this week, the buckets were far below the fill line everyday and i have been replacing it everyday so maybe it just got diluted to the point there were not enough nutes in there?

i wish i saw your post before but i already changed the res and gave it 1.54 tsp of Grow and Micro per gal and .33 tsp of Bloom plus supplements mentioned in 1st post. should i let it go or dump it all out again? im running low on nutes so would hate to do that.

can i just dump out 3/4 of the bucket and replace it with pH balanced RO water?

Hmm, yeah wasting nutes sucks. Perhaps if you have another res, flush with that, then just hook back up nute res for the next feeding if possible.

it's a dwc bucket with a airstone so no feeding hose, the roots are always submerged in aerated water. it is looking a little better today though, not sure what the problem was.
