    Default Help! Plant Wilt In Hydro?

    I hope I fixed this problem this morning but would like to ge some opinions. I recently switched over to flowering: 12/12 light cycle (been on it for about a week). Well, my plant seemed to wilt and droop over night and it hasn't seemed to take up alot of water recently. This morning I checked the ppm again ..it had jumped to about 1900. I only had one large air stone in the bucket (5 gallon). I did a flush and nute change and added 2 more air inputs and airstones. I hoping it was just a dissolved oxygen issue. Other than that problem today the plant has been looking great. Has this happened to anyone before in a DWC setup?

    Have you done a good flush of your grow medium. What is the PPM you are shooting for when you change nuts?

    are you using any additives? your plants can take those ppms without much problem, i think there's something else going on.

    please tell me you're not using h2o2....

    1900 ppm is way too high thats scorch your plants territory. i think that its possible that your plant wasnt getting enough oxygen so they are in effect over watered.

    I'm only using GH 3-part and having to add a samll bit of pH down daily. I have nevr used H2O2 until this morning when I suspected low oxygen levels. I also added 2 more air inputs and chilled the water down. I doubt I will continue using peroxide but I am hoping it would give it a temporary oxygen boost it seemed to need. Its "lights out" right now..i'm hoping all is well.
