Droopy plants on dark phase?

[EpicOfMan]

Hi,

I have some plants that I just switched to 12/12 4-5 days ago. I live in a hot area, so I have root rot problems. I changed the water yesterday - 4 gallons of water and I added 2 cups of 3% H202 in addition to the nutes. One plant looked particularly droopy after 45 mins, so I emptied out a 1.5 gallons of the nutes+H202 water and replaced it with ph balanced water without anything else. The droopy plant came back to life and I went to sleep sometime later.

This morning, I checked on the plants, and they look a little droopy. They are in the dark phase now - I keep the lights on at night and off during the day because it gets hot where I live during the day.

Basically, is it okay for plants to get a little droopy during the dark cycle? I've grown before, and I don't remember it happening that much - the stems are upright - it's just that all the leaves are a little droopy on all the plants.

It's been dark for them for 4 hours now.

I'm going to make this topic in the hydroponics section.

What type of hydro system is it? Ebb n flow, bubble buckets, NFT?

If you're in a bubble bucket, you might have more serious problems... I've only had plants that were droopy when they needed water... ebb n flow and soil. Make sure they're being properly watered and your airpump is running properly. Maybe the filter's clogged on the pump and it's not pushing out as much air as it should.

I'll bookmark you and check back in a little while.

Hope we can help solve the problem...

No problem. They should do that. Mostly vegging and the first couple weeks of flowering. They'll do it less as they mature.
