sorry.... here are the pics.
whats the temps and water temps??
light on: 71-79
Light off:63-70
Water temp is 69
is it bad if the temp goes below 70 when the lights are on?
Plants droop when they sleep....that might be what it is. If your not under/over watering I'm sure of it.
Thats not a bad temp at all.....I would take that over the 90 degrees I have to deal with right now.
Thank you.
So how do I rule out under/overwatering?
The pump lets out the water at a good flow, about 1 gallon per hour(estimate), I water every three hours for 15 minutes. Do I cut the duration OR Increase the duration OR increase the time in between(less waterings) or decrease the time in between(more waterings)?
Your plants are probably fine, try increasing the duration between watering's. Let the roots dry out some and grow in search of water....if they aren't droopy a few hours into your 18 then your water is fine.
ur not overwatering thats for sure i'd say ur bout right on that partQuote:

Here are some pics from the end of today's dark time. The pics are in the same order as the last post. It didn't take 2 days for them to perk up like this, they looked like this at the end of yesterday's dark cycle also, then drooped way down at about 630 this morning. Here they are 1 hour after the light came on, at around 7pm. Do they look ok?
I put 2 "daytime" cfl's in there with my 400w HPS, will these help?
I put the water on for 4 hour intervals instead of three, I'll look at them again in the morning.
