i have a flood and drain hydro system. 400 watt mh for vegging and 2 separate cfls for some extra light.. the ph is around 7... and i LITERALLY JUST bought three jack flash clones that were started nicely about 6 inches tall in a 2x4 rockwoll cube.. now what do i do..... i know i shouldn't just set them in the white plastic container and let them flood the rockwoll cube but what do i do? so... i had this guys tell me to do this::: this is the thing, i put them in separate pots surrounded by hydroton and placed them in there and let the water rise halfway up the cube and then drain about 4 times in 20 hours.. just for 15 min each then, the leaves after one night.. the first night.. have become droppy and looks like the plant could be dying very droopy leaves.. is this just the initial shock? or is something seriously wrong? or just wait? | ||

 | Imo, you are trying to go to fast. Your growing for medical patients, so you should really try to read up as much as you can. I dont know about hydro growing, so cant really help there. I can say your ph is too high. A ph of 7 in hydro is way off. Also, ppm are VERY important. Droopy leaves can be from a lot of things. Over/underwatered are most common. I know you dont want to hear this, but IMO, you should do your first grow or two in soil. Get an idea whats going on. Then if you must use chemicals, switch back over. | ||
