Help me with droopy leaves!

[Testudo]

Hi everyone. First time poster, second time grower...and were having some issues we never had before...hoping maybe someone can point me in the right direction...

We are flowering indoors in a 3x3 tray with a 600watt light and ballast. For the first week we were flowering there were no issues at all, but about a week ago I noticed the leaves were drooping, turning down, and some of them turned a lighter shade of yellow. Only some of the plants, the others look pretty good. We feared we were over watering them, so the first thing we tried was to cut down watering from 10 minutes 3 times a day, down to 2 times a day for 15 minutes and still look the same.

Maybe Nutrients? Were using the Lucas formula, but didnt add nutes last time because the ppm level kept rising past 700, and keeps going up without more us adding more. Weve also completely flushed our reservoir to make sure it wasnt a nute lock or anything, but here I am...

I will post some pics below and maybe someone might know whats going on here..thanks in advance guys and gals

Sorry you are having trouble. May I suggest you put a scrog net or some supports for your plants. They look stetchy and without support the plants are stressing. Seems like you have everything else right although you didn't mention ph, what do your roots look like and is there any algae? Have you adding anything new recently?! How long have they been without nutes? Is the res oxygenated? In hydro the plants are depending on you to supply every need, so they can't go long without food. Good Luck, and I hope you solve the prob.

ya could be a pH thing, sounds like your plants are not pulling up nutes, so a lockout is posible. hard to tell without knowing your pH.

testudo i had many problems like this before, it seems like they are getting to much water, what i would do is give them high nitrogen for about 2 days with lots of light. It seems like your plants are stretching so i would also move the light closer if possible. A simple hand test from the canopy of your plants to your light shows you if the plant is to close to the light. If your hand is hot at top of canopy its to close. So simply give them very little water for two days. Then after that high in nitrogen. 24 hours of light.

why all the plants in one tray? did you presoak the hydroton? what is your pH? you should fill out the troubleshooting form to get the best results.

Those poor babbies look like a grow I tried about 1 year ago! My problem was too much nutes! (That that was just a FYI, to help maybe)!
