Here are some pics of my baby two days into flowering. There is some discoloring in the large fan leaf that may be nute burn or it may just be using up all the nutrients in that leaf for energy not sure which since the new growth looks healthy. She is untied now and the 4 nodes are about equal height after tying her down earlier.

Hey man, looking good hey. Not sure when you took the pic but they look like they are getting a bit too much water...the leaves curling down like that is usually a sign of overwatering ;)

Oooh in that case I would suggest not watering as much, that's a clear sign of over watering mate :) What watering schedule are you using?

Sorry man, been out for a bit.

Sorry also forgot you're using DWC. Yes the airstones need to be on 24/7, overwatering isnt your problem, it looks to me like not enough oxygen for the roots. Drooping leaves can also be a sign of under nuting, root slime, not enough oxygen or too high humidity. Have you checked the roots for slime? I havent seen the nutes your using but if that is about half strength it should be sweet. Only other question is your humidity, can you tell me some more details? Temp, humidity, pH, res temp etc?


Alologies for all the questions, just want to save you some stress if i can...
 

Oo S0uP oO

Easty, you may be on to something here with the over watering diagnosis. While obviously one is not watering in a water culture system, you are kinda working in reverse in that you are required to pro actively supply DO as opposed to h2o. Leaf curling like that indicates that the relationship of h20/DO is off, and essentially the plant IS over watered, or more specifically UNDER OXYGENATED. Having no way of reducing the amount of h20 in a water culture system one can only INCREASE the amount of DO is said system. Contrary to popular belief plants are NOT capable of directly taking in the gaseous oxygen created by airstones, which is why UC systems work without airstones at all, and we as growers are interested in Dissolved Oxygen levels in any nutrient solution provided to plant roots. The way airstones aerate the solution is by creating bubbles that disturb the surface of any h20 source allowing unsaturated h2o to come in contact with the oxygen in its surrounding environment. In this case I believe that with increased turbidity in the culture the OP will see a dramatic improvement in leaf vigor. -S0uP

Yeah i was thinking the same. Kinda works in reverse to how we have it. My only suggestion would be to drop the water level for a few days and then raise it up slowly to about 3/4 inch under the pots.
