i put my plants into my nft system and had the pump on a timer to feed twice a day it was going great. i must have knocked the switch on the timer and the pump has been on continuious since yesterday sometime, when i checked on them this morning i noticed they were drooping real bad. do i just leave them to dry up for a couple days and see if they return to normal or do i have to do something else???:leaf:

In nft .... your suppose to run virtually constant with maybe the odd break. Off at night with maybe a sort run then to prevent drying out too much.
Check Ph ..EC of nutes regular in NFT especially when just set up as takes time for P'h to balance out.
Curious.... what did you have your timer set to ?

the plants are 3 weeks old from seed put them in the system so i could automate watering when im out at work so on. only had it to come on once in morning for 15 mins about an hour after lights go on and once in the afternoon i know when the plants get into veg properly the pump will be on full time. i ph my soloution every other day and adjust accordingly to keep it between 5.5 and 6. i dont have a ec/ppm meter as of yet, its my first time and they were a bit pricey but have since found cheap ones on ebay so i will be ordering 1 i was planning on just giving them half feeds so as not to nute the fuck out of them for now.
