Aerogarden Sad Plants???

So I am 4 days into flowering (4 weeks from seed for one plant and 3 wks from seed for the other two) and my plants appear to be shrinking?

I'm using the Aerogarden with a 250w HPS light.
Floranova grow and bloom around 1150 ppm
Ph stays between 5.5 and 6.1
Temperature stays in low 80's

I know I screwed up by using "spray n grow" with the lights on. It caused severe burning on the plant on the left. I've trimmed most of the damaged leaves.

Also, I had my pump on 24/7. I just changed the setting to "strawberries" so that my pump only runs around 16 hrs per day.

I know I need better pics and I will get some soon. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

Change your setting to herbs or tomatoes! You Are Over Watering Your Babies! I too have been using the aerogarden for awhile now. Feel free to ask me any questions, also search the forum for teknique70's aerogarden grow thread, a lot of good info there amigo. Good Luck and peace.

You are the man bro! Yeah, I too have been a student of all the aerogarden threads. I have the Aerogarden Pro 100 so I made the mistake of leaving it on the 24/7 setting. I already changed the setting to strawberries. Do you recommend Herbs or Tomatoes over the strawberry setting?

Sorry for getting back to you so late bro. Yes change it to herbs or tomatoes. These settings are more consistent with traditional hydroponic setups. You will thank me my friend. I have two beautiful girls right now thanks to the aerogarden(herb setting)! LOL

Thanks for the advice bro! I did just as you said and thought I'd show you the results. I changed the setting to herbs and my babies look fully recovered. About 14 days into flowering now.

Also, should I be pruning all the bushy leaves growing close to the base of the plants? Any advice is much appreciated. Can anyone tell if these are female? I haven't been able to find any male looking pre-flowers but this is my first grow. Thanks to everyone!

Also, there are three total plants. The one on the left is about a week ahead of the other two. To me, the plant on the left appears to be female. Maybe the other two will start showing this week. Let me know what you think...
