You should fill out a trouble shooting form and post it so people reading this can know what you have going on over there. Start there. Drooping plant could be from over/under watering but we dont know for sure til you fill the form out.:thumbsup:

Sorry man i dont know jack about hydro. I do know your ph should be around 5.8ish though so you might want to drop it a little. Im just going by what ive read not from experience. Other than that im clueless man. Sorry i couldnt help more. You might wanna try the hydro section and let them know you filled a form out in plant problem section if noone answers you over here. Good Luck

Tap water is the first no-no of hydro that I noticed that could be causing your problems.... And I say this from experience.... When I first went hydro I used tap as well.... They grew, what I thought at the time, fine.... Until late veg/early flower is where I started noticing negative changes in the plants.... Posted questions on here, I was told to switch to RO and haven't looked back since....

Check the ppm's of just the tap water before adding nutes and then ask yourself, WTF is in those ???ppm's....

I'm almost 100% positive that if you stop using tap and start giving them RO + nutes & micro nutes, they will recover quickly....

Oh and if you decide to get your RO from a vending machine type of water dispenser, make sure the ppm level is less than 25.... Sometimes those machines are just pouring out straight tap water and people are none the wiser.... That's why I love my ppm meter....:jointsmile:
