are my nutes too cold?
my nutes temp is 58 f because its in my basement and its cold.. the room temp is like 70 with the lights on.. the leaves just all of a sudden started drooping a lil bit everytime i feed them.. they were doin great before when the nutes were a lot warmer now all of a sudden i put them in the basement and the nutes and temp are colder and they droop when i feed them.. when i dont feed them like i did for 1 day they looked great again then i fed them a quick flood and they started to droop a littl ebit again. the ph is 6.6 and im usin gh nutes with superthrive everythin measured out perfect.. they were doin great there on week 3 of veg now all of a sudden teh droopy leaves after i moved them..

well i think you answered your own Q lol
plus you're in hydro?... isn't that pH a bit high?

i put heaters next to the nutes and fed them one time and they started drooping again like they're being overwatered so much. the 1000 watt is like 16" away.. it has no ventliation on it yet but i have a fan blowing around.. the babies are 3 weeks old in veg and like 4-6" inches tall.. are they too small to put under there that close? they were only ona 400 watt mh for the first 2 weeks of there life

Are you in dirt then?
Are the plants on the cellar floor?
GET THEM UP OFF THE FLOOR!!!
Put them on a slab of insul;ation, several layers of cardboard, ANYTHING.
That droop is not good. I hope you don't have root rot. Give them some serenade in their next watering, raise the light to avoid water loss by transpiration, and keep their roots above 60!

the temp of the nutes was 59-60 F and that was during the middle of the day so i can just imagine how cold they must get at night and early in the morning... yes they were on teh basement floor but i had a heater running nextg to them but it didnt do anything. im goin to put insulation under and around the nutes and see hwo that does.. does the cold nutes explain why the droopy leaves though? i think it was just putting them in shock everytime they got fed... im gona put insulation under it so its not just on the basement floor and hopefully that will raise the temp a lil

You still have not answered the basic Q, are you in hydro or dirt?
You keep talking about nutes as if it's a reservoir, then you say you are manually feeding, wtf?
Last time I had to grow in a basement I put 2 shipping pallets on top of each other, put the plants on top of them, and had a heater blowing UNDER the pallets for bottom heat.

lol sorry stinky i was only manually feeding them that one day when they first started drooping and i just meant manually turning the pump on and off.. its an ebb an flow with nutes under the table.. i just put insulation and cardbord under the nutes and i have the heat fans blowing under the table at the nutes also..they're lookming better today anyway but i hope this works.. i think there stunted kuz they havent grown in a few days they've just been lookin good in the morning then drooping by the end of the night..

ok so the problem was that every day they start out fine then by the end of teh day like an hour before the lights supposed to shut off they are so droopy by that time.. ive changed the nutes and put a fresh batch of week 3 gh nutes in ( they were taking them all great from week1 and 2 so i know there not too strong).. ph has been adjusted to 5.8 the light was moved about 20" away from the tops.. got the fan really blowing around.. heat in the room adjusted to 79-80 degrees with heaters and nutes were placed on insulation and cardbord.. roots were also covered with mylar in strips with cardbord.. i picked up a few of them today to look at the roots they look good but there was a couple dead roots that i just pulled off . a lot of the roots have like a slimey brown coating on them but if i wipe it off it is very white and healthy looking but there are a few roots that just pull off like they are dead; im using fossill fuel humic acid which makes my nutes and stuff really brown so thats what im hoping it is not root rot. i didnt add the humic acid to this new nute batch only gh and superthrive and i fed them one time around 10 pm before the lights shut off at 12 and they were still drooping even after the feeding.. im goin to not feed them at all tommorow and then wait until the next day to feed them. they're like 5-7 inches tall and i feel like they havent grown in a few days since this new change.. i hope thats enoguh info for you guys to help me i know its long but plsss help!!.. i also have anti-wilt spray i was wonderin about that but im not gona spray it kuz its just for transplant shock and moisture it says.. but let me know what to do pls!!

pls anyone? and another thing would roots being expose to the light do cause the drooping to happen? its 10am right now they havent eatin since last night at 10pm and they're looking better already.. i have the roots covered with strips of mylar but there is a little leak of light here and there but the roots arent that big yet that they're even coming threw the sides so theyr'e not exposed really

For the love of pete, keep your roots out of the light.
I can't give you more help, I know fuckall about hydro. But I do know that roots don't like light.

Well if you have the root rot, all that increased transpiration from high air temps and lots of fan is going to make you wilt.
Go to home dePOT and pick up a spray bottle of wilt-pruf, which iwll help protect them until the roots are healthy again.
I have in the past had to resort to treating the soil with serenade and then putting the plant (not the pot, just the top) in a thin white garbage bag (you have to air it out a couple times a day) just for a little while as a humidity dome. The roots can only take up so much water if they are damaged, and if the plant is bigger than the roots can support, you have a problem.

i dont think its root rot but im goin to try to explain the plant/root ratio size.. the plants are like 6-7 inches tall (looking healthier today kuz i havent fed them) and they are in 6" net pots.. the roots are coming out of the bottom a little bit and a few are popping out of the sides here and there a few cm out the sides of the pots.. on the bottom its like the whole bottom is squished and covered with little white roots when i pick up the pots..what should i do? i already have wilt-pruf ill spray them with that but what should i do about feeding them? they look better kuz i havnet fed them all day.. you think if i just dont feed them for the rest of the day and start tommorow it coudl help them or will that be bad?

the stems of the fan leaves are also a brownish/purplish color if that means anything..

Cold temps can cause purpling.
Instead of refuting Stinky's suggestions, do what she says.

are my nutes too cold?
its 1032 and they are all drooping now like they're being so overwatered and they onl got watered one tim today.. it looked like my ebb and flow try had a little water like a cm in the drain lines in the tray so i thought the plants were just suckin up that shit all the time making them overewatered but i dried thetray up totally to let the roots dry and they still didnt get any better its always the same. they start out in the morning alrihgt then by the end of the night drooping.. i also moved the light far away to see if that would help but it doesnt look like its doing anything.. what could id o this crop was going soo good up until this

That's as much help as I can give.
You've got to get a hydro person involved.
