Still weeping!!! They look exactly the same after I turned off the water for a couple hours... any other ideas?!?!
have you got any fans in room . dont know if it will help with wilting , but it will perk them up a bit , then they might sort themselves out
i would put a message on for zandor or robert 42 they know alot more about hydro than i do
got me intrested though ive never come across weeping plants.
they look phat by the way nice big fan leaves
all the best

Sufocating plants. PH too high AND over fert AND no aerated water, the leaves from the bottom have brown areas, soon all the leaves will be like that. You've got to flush your plant with PH 6 water and add an air stone to your rez, put the bulb a little bit higher till they recover and put a oscillating fan, and wait one week at least. That's what i would do.

Absolut,
As clembob101 said, put something out for Zandor... he'll help you better than us.
I read that you wanted to re-pot them... I suggest against this. I'm totally open to all opinions from everyone here, but:
I think that if you replant your baby you'll produce way too much stress on her. Maybe you'll stun grow for god-knows-how-long... that's my opinion.
Ok... thanks for all the help... turtle... good call... thats exactly why I was seeing opinions... I too thought it would increase the stress and right now I wasn't about to add that to the shit-list. Today they perked up a bit but I now I'll wait a couple hours and see if they begin the hardcore weeping again. I changed the water back to 15 on 15 off because last night it didn't show any difference at all and I watched them ALL THRU THE NIGHT! My pH is around 6ish but I'll give it a nute change and re-pH it, over fert could be a possibility and I'll definitly throw in an air stone. I already lifted the light... and constantly have a fan on them... buy my fan's lowest setting blows the @#$% out of them! So I put it back like 5 feet away from them and angled it so there is a steady flow into, over, and around the plants... what about temperature? It seems to have been getting colder the past couple nights, but is a couple degrees that important? If it is... I could put a heater in there with thermostat and monitor the temp to keep a perfect temp... what do you guys think? Again, thanks for all your help and I'll keep you guys posted with more pics and let you all know what's happening.
Absolut, I would suggest once your girls recovers, doing HARDDONS Stress Less Transplant.

Joel... great idea and I would definitly try that... but I'm doing hydroponics... if there is any way that I could take that system of transplanting with soil and use it with hydroton... that would be amazing... the only idea I have is:: get a bigger pot... fill it with hydroton... and put a fence up (like cardboard or something) that fits the shape of my current pot with hydroton... it's the same basic idea Harddon is saying but with hydroton... then I would somehow McGyver a type of cup that will hold all my current hydroton and roots together... turn the plant upside down... take the pot off... move it over the bigger pot with a fenced out hole... then put the McGyvered Cup inside the fence and then remove the McGyver cup and fence... do you think I should try that? The only problem is the hydroton moving around with the roots while transfering it... and I can't afford to break any roots. If you think I should do it... let me know... cuz I'll surely give it a shot. Thanks for the tips... lemme go take a look and see if the weeping has occurred again...
Ok... the weeping has slowed... they aren't weeping as much but the plant on the right has its upper leaves weeping... they are really green and pretty big... it looks like the leaf's stems can't support the leaves... but I know that's not the case... it doesn't seem like there's any huge problem so we'll see how it turns out!
Update... wow... doing amazing!!! Lemme get some pics up!!! Weeping has stopped... it might have been adding the air pump to the water... or making the water schedule slower at nights... i dunno... but whatever it was... they are doing excellent now!!
Here they are!!! What do ya think!!! Question... how does the budding begin? Where should I look for the first signs of nugget? I think I see something but not sure... do I look at nodes? Anyway... here they are 9 days into flowering!!!
