what the roots look like...
They are stained a little, but they are not slimy in any way.
They are not really white and enthusiastic though.

Why did you flush, was it because of the drooping?
The plant looks a little bare in some spots, trimmed or no?
What were you feeding and at what strength prior to straight water?
Do you have pics without the hps? Can't tell the color of the leaves in the pic you posted.
*16 is low try to get that up a bit

how high is ur water level..... u should be half inch below net pots, make sure ur Airstones are pushing enuff oxgen to your roots.... it definitley looks like a watering issue... how ofter are u changing ur res

My bad... Over-watering is essentially suffocation of roots. This isn't impossible in DWC, or any type of hydro if you don't have airstones or whatever you DWC cats do.

ur right., to much water not enough airstones will definitley cuzz overwatering
I have 2 large airstones on the same bucket. And it water is near on perfect temp to hold oxygen.
I haven't transplanted. It's been in the same bucket for 6 weeks. Just gone into flower.
The humidity IS low. I filled my flood tray with water last night and it's all gone over night. I thought increasing humidity might help, but the plant looks worse.
Seriously don't know what's going on. Maybe I can decrease the level a little.

Plants drown if the water is into the hydroton all the time. Wet and dry makes good plants no matter what substrate.

The water should never be into the Hydroton. The purpose if the Hydroton is to capture the humidity or water droplets from the bubbles. It hydrates itself but retains a very high 02 content, directly at the rizome. There must always be a gap between water level and media. Also for maximum 02 diffusion by surface area.

I'd vote shock. 1.2 isn't unreasonable and plants are adapted to stable environments, roots mainly. Water change was most likely too cold. Chill for a few days and she will return vigor. If she doesnt, then I'd think root nasties and some tea is appropriate to add in the DWC to encourage the benificial microbes to consume and dominate and restore the root system health.

Im sorry to say but it looks horrible. Id take clones, from the whole plant. Not just tops, every section of branch. Let them root, 18 day veg or more depending on how many clones take, and flower them all.
Your plants dying. You cant figure out what the user error is and its past bad already. Maybe a soiless grow would be safer for you.
