Hey guys, have done extensive searches and tried a multitude of things to try and fix my problem but I'm stumped. My plants are droopy and wilted and I can not for the life of me figure out what the problem can be. I've been growing for a year now fairly successfully but still learning a lot and making mistakes, there is a lot to learn about this growing thing. I just expanded operations into a new room and am trying a different style, was doing a SOG stadium style and I now got my medical license so I'm going for larger plants.
My setup:
Soil grow - pro-mix hp with earthworm castings and dolomite lime
Feed - GH floranova grow, superthrive, am hydro supernova and dark energy, rhizotonic
PH - 6.5
600w bulbs
Temps - 25deg C (77ish deg Fahrenheit) humidity 25%
I've tested the run off out of the soil and that came out at 6.5. I have a soil moisture meter and I'm definitely letting the soil dry out enough. One thing I should note is that when the problem first arose the plants would perk up at night and then when I would check them in the morning they would be wilted. This made me assume it could be a humidity thing as I do have a fairly low humidity due the the dry conditions right now and I have a large room with few plants. I have been able to bring the humidity up a bit and its helped a little but they are definitely still wilting, however now they do not perk up at night anymore. I've recently flushed a few to see if that makes a difference. There is no visible signs that I can see of bugs or nutrient toxicities or deficiencies. I have noticed that my root growth from the start is not what it should be, they have been veging for 4 weeks now and I should see roots curling up through the bottom of the pots, I wonder if this could be a soil bound bug that is eating my roots causing a lack of water being absorbed up into the plants.
I am truly stumped and I hope that someone here can lead me in the right direction to get my babies back on track. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. The pics are form a week ago, the plants are looking even more dried out and wilted now. Really need to get these babies back on track.
