Big Problem wilted leaves Please Advise
Ok So i got fox farm in the mail and went from the tab nutes to the liquid nutes. I did a complete flush added the liquid nutes and checked the ph and what the result within a 8 hr period is very bad (pics below before and after) I noticed that the cycle on my aero was changed (i have no clue as to how) from partial feeding to full time feeding. Is it possible i gave this plave to much nutes within the last 8 hrs? PLEASE PLEASE advise i dont want to thow this grow away its my second attempt!

I'm a little confused......tab nutes? Whatever you have running in there I'd probably stop. Take everything back to where you were before you had a problem....quickly.
What is your ph? And can you tell me how old your plant is and all your other conditions? Do you only have one plant?

aero garden uses tab nutrients (their invention that comes with the aero garden)
I did stop when i saw it. I flushed out the res. and just put water it in to get whatever is in the plant out!
I cant tell what the ph is now my ph meter just so happened broke yesterday :( but Im sure since i did a flush its not to bad if at all.
This is the only plant in the grow

Could be ferts but I would worry much more about your ph than the ferts.....ph being abnormal could certainly do that to your plant as well. I'm afraid I don't use either the tab nutes or foxfarm so can't give you a lot of info on either one.
Going with plain water for now was a very good idea.....good work there. Get yourself a new ph tester asap (even the cheap liquid ones from the pet store will work ok for you in a pinch) and get your ph straightened out. If you post the results I'll keep an eye on this thread and hopefully that will solve your issue.
Good luck.

Im almost sure it was the ph up and down that i added to the res. This was my first time ever adding to the res so im sure i made an error..
I bought a new ph tester (one thats waterproof unlike the last one) HANNA DIGITAL pHep4 pH & Temperature TESTER METER - (eBay item 300184683894 end time Dec-30-07 07:18:09 PST)
Please tell me this plant is going to bounce back?

Well its hard to say.....if the problem was caused by too much nutes than it's iffy....once burned the plant is burned and it looks like most of plant is involved there.
If the problem is your ph being off the plant will probably be ok but you may lose some leaves. It depends on how far off the ph was and for how long. That's information you may never know so it's most likely a wait and see thing.
The thing is.....both problems go hand in hand....too many nutes will cause your ph to rise and do strange things so then you have too many nutes AND your ph is abnormal etc etc...see what I mean? That's why it's good to attack the problem from both angles.....less nutes (which you've done) and good ph (which you are working on) That's all you can do.
Just out of curiosity....why only one plant? Looks like you have room for several in your setup.
