plants in need of HELP!!!!!pics lookk

My Hydro system is an Areo 4 ,i only put in about 2.5 gallons of water and water only 3 times a day for 3 min. I use (GH) 3 PART SOLUTION and i keep the ph around 6.5 to 7.0 . The light is a 400wt HPS and it only gets aboout 75-80 in the room ,also i have a 6'' fan on the plants and light ,but with all this badass stuff my plants still have willted leafs on the bottom and sometimes the leafs droop down . what is going on ????? take a look . The plants are in about week 3 to 4 .
micro= 3tbs
gro=2.5tbs
bloom=.5tbs

is this too much ??? i go by the weekly GH. chart .

I think for a hydro system the ph is too high--7 is for soil. I keep my hydro stuff between 5.6-6.3. I think the high ph may be your problem. They look rather unhappy for 34 weeks

You should also post pics of the roots. Droop-causing problems can hide there.

First off, your ph is way too high, like Weedhound said. Bring it down to around 5.6 - 5.8.

About your nutes. Are you saying that you're using 3 tablespoons of micro, 2.5 tablespoons of grow and .5 tablespoons of bloom per gallon? If so then you're solution is way too strong, and what I'm seeing in those pics certainly does look like nute burn. You should be using 1 teaspoon of bloom, 2 teaspoons of micro and 3 teaspoons of grow per gallon of water.

I, personally am not even using the grow at all. I'm using 1 teaspoon of micro and 2 teaspoons of bloom, plus Tarantula, and it's working very well.

What's tarantula? Stinky what would you see in the roots that could tell you what the problem is?

thanks for all your help . i droped the ph down to 6.5 . the ph tester kit says that 6.5 is all good . i just flushed the system with clearX , and i just put in a buble stone . also i forgot to say that i sprayed the leaves with water (from the tap) ,ya ya i know now that it was not the best thing . all the new leaves that are comming in are looking good and green .

Do you mean 6.5 ot 5.6 on your ph? If it's at 6.5 it still way too high. You need to get it down to between 5.6 and 5.8

Discoloration (rot) or dark specks (bugs).
