Growing in dwc. Plants feel flimsy and weak.

[plazplaya95]

Its only been 1 hour. But my plants feel very weak. and flimsy, there in a 3 gallon bucket with a dual pump outlet and 1x6inch air stone and 1xsmall air stone

Should I be worried ?

iT HAS TO BE THE HEAT. it is showing heat stress. I only have 1 fan inside the rubbermaid grox box if I add a exhaust fan will it help tremendously ?

where is your setup in a box or closet? and yes get an exhaust fan on that asap a fan blowing air around in watever you have isnt enough it needs fresh air so an intake would be a better choice but then again i cant imagine your setup so...

how is the dwc setup? and age of clones, root growth? all that? cause if u take a clone in rockwool or st8 out of areocloner.dwc, and bury the roots in hydroton in a netpot it may not be getting water in a dwc setup if water is low or roots arent long enough to submerge or atleast get misted? cant tell wut ur problem is without pics and desciptions

2 rubbermaid boxed the 10 gallon ones. I have my bucket in one of the boxes and my lights in the other.

This is my first grow. They are from seed.
I found out it is the heat.

But I opened the top box a little bit now it has better ventilation and I positioned the small 4inch deskfan to get air from the outside and blow it inside the box.

There low enough to receive moisture. Pots are an inch above water.

THe roots have not come out the cup yet.So i have a sprayer on hand and manually spray them several times a day.

I still cant make out your setup I'm trying as hard as i can but nothing. a pic mayb? It could be water related but your watering them so It's most likely heat, I have a friend that was growing in a no ventilation box they grew but very poorly i actually installed 2 pc fans for intake and outtake that way at night you dont have to open the top so they dont get interupted if the box is strong enough to support pc fans you could cut a hole out just big enough for the blade to push and pull air then screw them to the walls. It really makes a difference on the plants, If you need any help with the pc fans just ask

I need help with the pc fans.

How much will this reduce my temps?

Would I only need 1 pc fan for pulling hot air out of the box ?

Ill get a pic wait, its not my pic .it just will give you an idea of what it looks like.

That is what itll look like when the top is off.

Except I dont have an intake, and my exhaust is little.

Looks like this.

ok a pc fan would really help you with this kind of setup, Its the perfect ventilation method for this size. If you look in the top picture of the top view in the front middle theres a bulge thats a pc fan wrapped in foil. You can buy them from radioshack or make them custom made from a old computer like me. The first step to actually make them plug into a grounded wall socket rather than a computer power source is easy. You take a cell phone wall charger and cut the part that plugs into the cell phone off. Then you strip the 2 wires down an inch or so, you should be able to see copper wire. do the same for the pc fan. Now plug the wall charger in to the wall plug do not touch the copper wires with your hands lol. Now you need to connect the two wires from both the fan and the charger together until the fan starts spinning try diff wires etc. Unplug the charger then electric tape the wires together an you have a working pc fan. Im not sure about exact temperature diff but it makes a huge diff on the plants because they need fresh co2 to grow well and trust me it will make a diff on your yield as well. If i were you i would put both an intake and a outtake fan for the best air movement youd be suprised, Then you could take the fan out thats blowing air around to create more room.
