wilting- too much water? ph? or nutrient?
I am having a prob with plants wilting.
I am running a drip system;330ppm, 6.0ph, 100w flourescent
My light is set on 20/4 and my nutrients flow 15 on then off
The only thing I can figure is that they are getting too much water because the roots just recently started really getting down into the solution.
I have backed off the feeding to 15 on the 30 off for a couple hours to see if there is any improvement. Also my nute temp has recently risen to around 70. Any ideas?Cannabisman420 Reviewed by Cannabisman420 on . wilting- too much water? ph? or nutrient? I am having a prob with plants wilting.

The roots that come out of the netpot can stay under water 24/7. They are water roots. It's the rootball or air roots inside the netpot that needs the oxy time. Too much drip. We only drip every 2 hours for 15 minutes. It can go longer between drips.
There is no overwatering in hydro or soil. It is drowning. Think about it raining for 3 days. That's about the limit then the air roots need the oxy or they start to drown.
From your pic's I would cut back on drip and bring up the water level of your rez to about 2 or 3 inches below netpot.
I don't think the canoeing of the leaves like that are overwatered. You should fill out the trouble form and let us really help you find the problem.
