aeroponics help needed asap

[p[urple]

plants are in a stinkbud mini set up. ph is 6.1ish, temp 75, hps 1000 watt,
the misters are set up on 1 min on 4 minutes off cycle. the roots do sit in about 6 inch of water at the bottom, an air pump is running 24/7 on low settings.

problem: looks exactly like overwatering or underwatering.
after moving the unit under the hps they have been drooping.
the unit is also a little low on water but there's still plenty(i'dthink?).

will adding more water suffocate the roots>

After the roots are in water for more than 30 minutes they start to drown. The roots need atmosphere to breath also.

aye, cant do aeroponics and hydrop[onics in the same space.

let it drain between cycles. or increase aeraton by 10 times.

Sorry, I didn't see your thread earlier.

I am running an aero in a 5 gal bucket with no air pump. I use about 1.5 gal mix of water and nutes. run my timer 15 secs on 6 min off.

do your roots sit in the water at all?

 

[wiseguy316]

yes , a good portion of them are in the water with no problems at all.
