Yes, i am doing a hydroponic system of a 10 liter container with a hose tripping constat water by the stem, It got real nice and big during vegative stage and after i transplanted it into a differernt container The leaves started to act up like i was explaining i have the light about a foot away from the plnt with a fan blowing the hot air away from the 250watt mh light. ALso there 4 t12 24 watt lights on there too that are on Please let me know if you still need a pic its just hard to get a pic on this laptop ! thanks

Without a pic it's reeaaally hard to diagnose properly. Could be a couple different things. Your lights and fan setup sound fine. How are your roots? A constant drip can lead to problems in the rootzone, perhaps put your pump on a timer. Only has to come on twice a day. Maybe 3 including a night watering. But again this depends on your setup.. Medium etc... A pic would really help.

Next i would say possible ph problem. Do you check the ph regularily?

Sagging leaves is usually caused by soggy roots. If your pH is high...pH down works well in hydro and a little goes a loooooooong way. In fact pH up and down a requirement for hydro. Get some.

temperature dude. res temps are off roots are supposed to be more white. also temp plays a big part in ph.

Those roots should be white if they're healthy dude. Thats why she's not doing good. For one i dont think you have enough air being pumped into there. Maybe add another line and airstone. Or 2. Can never have too much air.

Also be sure to monitor the water temp. Do everything to keep it under 70f or you'll have problems.

Ok so forgive me if I'm so off base about your setup but...is that aeroponics? Or dwc? Or both? The previous post about water temps is accurate...but those water levels look really low to me. The net pot should be skimming the surface of the water and the more bubbles the better. Roots almost look dry? They do like to dry out in soil temporarily...but remember they are responsible for nutrient uptake and water. About 80% of the root mass should be in the spray ( for aero) or submerged in rich oxygen water created by a good pump and at minimum. One 6 inch airstone for that tub. A tub that size....go with two for really good results.


In hydro letting roots dry out isn't a real concern because in hyper oxygenated water they get plenty of oxygen. That's really the key for hydro growth>soil growth. Tooons of oxygen. The very reason scientists say all life was so big in prehistoric time ....more O2 in the air allowed for more absorption.


Your on the right path but do yourself a favor and watch hygrohybrids channel on YouTube...he's a hydro pro and has awesome video explaining the science behind it.

Your almost there my dude...just a few tweaks!

Best I can tell she's on point. That soil needs some perlite though to provide good drainage. Otherwise you'll end up with soggy roots possibly root rot. When you transplant her mix your new soil 30% perlite 70% soil.
