Did you keep the plants in the same containers? That's the only way to know for sure if the light is the problem. If you swithed reserviors too we still don't know for sure if it's light or nutes. Personally, I'm leaning toward a nute problem. If the temps are below 80 your light cannot be too hot.

When my plants are the size of yours I have had my HID light close to them for several days. You just need to wean them into the intense HID light over a period of about two or three days.

Root reservior should be completely light proof, just like in nature. This is not imperative however. A little light won't hurt, but you want mostly dark. Not only for the plants sanity, but to reduce scum and algea buildup.

Glad to hear they are improving.

OK, the conditions are virtually identical on both side except for the lights and the containers although there are squares and rounds on both sides. Lights on the left is a 125 floro. Lights on the left is a 400 HPS. the doors are open all day and the fan outside circulates the air through out the room and the AC is on and the temp on both sides fluctuates between 70 and 80. The reservoirs have the same nutes. nothing is different ... Why are the plants on right drooping under a Rating: 5
