Too much water??

Hi Guys,

My seedling was very happy a few days back..Suddenly her leaves started drooping..

OG KUSH 1 month old
PPM 350
PH 5.7-5.8
400 W MH
DWC 5 Gal
Nutes- AN Jungle Juice Micro Flora Bloom + Sensi Calmag + Voodoo Juice

Temps- Tropical environment 88-92F
RH 65%

Water level 2.5 inches below the net pot.

Air pump hose just below the net pot.

Transplanted from Coco pellet to bare root in DWC one week back. Small new roots forming from old root mass. Her roots are constantly being splashed.

Is there anything that can be done to perk her back up?

Many thanks

thats a lil warm . whats water temp?

400w MH on one seedling? How far away is it.? That's gona be heating your black plastic lid right up! Raise your light some if poss. More ventilation to lower overall temp. I suspect if the room temp is that high the res will be a lot higher than ideal. A MH kicks out more heat than a HPS I think. You could get a few 6500k cfls in there instead and come back to the MH when shes bigger..
Check your res temp, if you cant raise your light you could add some white mylar to the cover the black lid, that should stop it heating up a lot. Or if its really high add ice packs to the outer of the tub and cool it down some. Obviously they would melt pretty quick though.
Good luck

keeping it tropical. is not the best way to grow .72 deg air and . water temp 65. she should like them numbers. when water temps get above 70, youll have root rot in no time

Hi Coreywebster, and 420producer

Thank you for your quick response!! Ive got 7 seedlings under a 400 watt MH. With standard intake and exhaust fans mounted inside a steel grow cabinet for ventilation. The 400 Watt MH is 3ft above the current seedling canopy.

Ive got another Grow box which is 6ft in height- used for flower, with a built in mini A/C Along with 6 inch inline fans attached for intake and exhaust. Due to the specs of these two cabinets the light fixtures cannot be lowered or raised.

Here are some Images.



I guess the drooping is caused by heat! Yikes! Will switch them over to my flower cabinet- with CFL's and flick the A/C on, whew!

Thank you both so much!!!
