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. :wall:
the unit is also a little low on water but there's still plenty(i'dthink?).

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.

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.
