ok now here is day 3 w/o watering and they still havent pekrd up any.... I have them in a DWC bubbler system since I cant figure out the right watering schedule for the rockwool I'm using along with the hydroton in 5" net cups. I am starting to get discouraged, I see alot of people with success on their forst grow and I just seem to spending money on good seeds that I cant get to stay alive. I'm not slow so I know I can do it from seed to flower I just dont know what and where I'm going wrong. These plants were fine up until sunday now they are wilted and I think barely staying alive. I see they continue to gro but all of my leaves are drooping. I dont know where to go from here and I feel llike I'm aboout to lose my plants. The ph runoff in the cubes is at 6.0. I'm afraid that if I flush the plants or even add some peroxide I just may do more damage. Like I previously stated , they are currrently ina bubbler system b/c I dont know how to water them in an ebb n flow or aeroponic system which are the two systems i prefer..The lighting is on for 18/6 under 20,000 lumen 6500k 4ft. 4 tube T5. I will be receiving my 400 HPS/MH setup on friday but dont really think the lights have anything to do with it since I've seen some nice grows done with just CFLs'. Please help where am I going wrong??? Here are some pics. The first one is of saturday night right before lights out and the others are of today....

So many questions to ask here. I see algae on your rockwool and no covers on your net pots. I bet your roots are starting to turn brown?
I am no expert but from MY experiences here is what I would do:
Pretty much drop back 10 and punt. Start over fresh and clean. Clean your aero system out well.Check for light leaks in that light colored tub. Add ph adjusted water of the right temp.Add some peroxide. Mix up a gallon or so of ph adjusted water with some peroxide and pour it through your hydroton and rockwool over the sink a few times. Cover those net cups and let it flush for a day or 2 in your aero system. Re-clean everything in a few days and add a weak nute solution along with your peroxide.
Here is a few of my clones in my aero system.These clones were taken from a Ultimate plant 5 weeks into flower. If you look at the bottom of the plants you can see a little bud. I had to reveg these from flower and sat in my aero system for 6 weeks before I started to see new growth up top.

I copied and pasted this as it may help you on the use of peroxide.
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) or "Oxygen Water"

Hydrogen peroxide created by humans is inferior to that created by nature, but it costs less. Human-made peroxide comes in a variety of percentages, and you want to get the 35% variety, as this will ensure that there have been no "stabilizers" added, as is generally done to the 3% variety that you can buy in a pharmacy.

Hydrogen peroxide will most definitely reduce any possibility of bacterial and fungal contamination. Farmers in the US use peroxide for everything from disinfection of the dairy barn and hog pens to increasing crop yields by 20 to 30%. It is also commonly added to the drinking water of animals to reduce the need for antibiotics.

In the aeroponic system, H2O2 replicates nature's own antibacterial mechanism and prevents water from growing putrefactive bacteria which can cause the dreaded bacterial wilt, root rot and countless other diseases.

35% hydrogen peroxide can and should be used in hydroponic drip and soil systems at the rate of one teaspoon per gallon. You would usually add peroxide to your system and let that run through for 1/2 hour before adding nutrients. This will give the peroxide time to kill off bacteria with its extra oxygen molecules and become stabilized before you add the dissolved mineral salts (stock fertilizer). H2O2 will also forcibly cause the out-gassing of chlorine and fluoride from municipal water.

I have used 35% hydrogen peroxide diluted to a 1% solution on a plant in soil that had an infestation of fungus gnats, root rot and unknown other problems. The plants thrived while gnats and other organisms did not. But beware, H2O2 is powerful and experiments can be dangerous to your whole crop.

Be sure not to get any in your eyes. The burning and whitening sensation felt when it touches the skin can be irritating but is not damaging. Wear latex. You should dilute 1 part peroxide to 11 parts distilled water to create a 3% solution for less worrisome handling.

Applying H2O2 to Your system.

You can kill bacteria that might be living in your nutrient tank by wiping out the empty container with a 3% peroxide solution. You can safely create a 1% peroxide solution to feed your plants for a few cycles, but fill less than a quarter of your nutrient tank with this solution, as you will want to dilute it to about 0.25% for longer use.
If there are parasitic invaders then you will know because there will be a profuse bubbling and frothing, which is the hydrogen peroxide oxidizing putrefactive organisms that are not oxygen compatible.

To make a 1% solution, add 35 parts water to 1 part 35% hydrogen peroxide. To achieve an 0.25% solution add 140 parts of water to 1 part 35% peroxide, or add 3 parts water to one part 1% peroxide.

cut back on watering. they're overwatered and roots have little air. Also they will improve out of sight when new light arrives.
