Hello. This is the first grow I've done in about 3 years and have forgotten everything. Anyways I went and picked up a few clones from the dispensary. I just transplanted them 2 days ago and on the one plant the leaves are drooping really bad. On the other one, they aren't drooping quite as bad but I am afraid they are starting to droop. If anyone can help me out on a cure to this it would be greatly appreciated.

looks kinda burnt to me to, with a lil heat stress thrown in.
you should only give em water for a few days after transplanting to hydro, then startout @ 1/4 strength nutes untill you see pronounced growth....

My setup is a 400 watt metal halide light. I'm going with deep water culture. So they are always getting water. I started the veg stage nutes already. and I had the light about 18 inches above the plants. But I just recently put up my fluorescents lights to try to help with the heat til I can go get a fan. I was thinking about just vegging with the fluorescent bulbs though. Is this a better idea? Should I wait to use my halide bulb til they flower? I know they prefer red spetrum but I've got a bad ass l.e.d setup with nothing but red lights.

Ooh soz...I didnt make myself perfectly clear...nute "burnt"! They certainly dont look "burnt" from the light but some heat stress sure. U should ask some1 whos a DWC grower.

Heat stress usually shows with the leaf tips and edges curly up, not drooping. I am petty much certain it is nute stress.

How close is the water in the res to the cup holding the plant? If you have roots it should not be touching like 1/2" away so it has a air gap. Pls get the tin foil away from the plant use white paper to cover the hydroton so no light goes into the res. Check ph, res temp and ppm if you have a meter. To me it looks like its getting really wet at the root crown.
