Droopy plants

Dark Arts Nursery · Nov 29, 2022

Can warm reservoir water cause droopy plants? I’m battling high temps. I’m using frozen water bottles to keep my temps down.

I'm growing using DWC.

Temps range from 70-80f
Rh 50-63%
Res water temp 20-25c
Ec 1.5
Ph 5.8 - 6.2

Man I've had res temps get to 73-74 and never had an issue. Your roots are looking pretty good. My guess is it's something else, but not 100 on that.

Roots look good

My guess with the limited information you’ve given is you’re blasting with too much light.

Turn the light down a bit

Dim it to 50% and I bet by tomorrow at this time they are responding better. That will also help with heat management as well

Ok I dropped it to 60%. I can only dim in increments of 20.

Thanks to everyone that replied much appreciated .

Still, have a droopy plant? Could it be the water temp I'm fighting to keep down to 20c? This morning in cheek the water temp was 23.6c.

Make sure you’re getting a lot of bubbles , more the water temp goes up is less oxygen .. kinda have that over watered look to them …

What's the distance between the bottom of the net pot, and the surface of the nutrient solution? You want an air gap.

I have about 6 inches clearance to the bottom basket.

This happened after I top feed them three days ago. The next day the drooping started happening.

Dimming the light didn't change anything then I'm guessing?

It doesn't look like it's getting worse. Maybe give them a couple of days and see what happens.

Will do! Thanks for the help! I will keep this thread updated with this grow. I might have to cut my losses and switch to soil on the next grow.
