I have a little girl (hopefully) who I just started flowering 5 days ago....today i went out and bought a pump and stone for o2...i also bought a clamp light with a 3 way 12/23/29 cfl. once I introduced these to my little ones environment she responded with excessive drooping of the leaves....my pH is around 5.8. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? bad lighting? too much o2? help please

do the roots recover pretty easily after....i was pretty gentle when i put the stone in....do you think my lighting choice is good?

the ag res isn't that large, so if your going nuts with the air stones/pump, you could be causing the roots to not take up as much water.

Thanks for the help! I pulled the pump and airstone out and noticed that indeed I had broken a root or two....she was doing just fine without that damn pump and i f'd up. she's still drooping but has good color. Im hoping she can pull out of this. this is the 4th day of droopyness yet her roots look good and coloration is lookin good....Are there any tips on how to help the plant out when roots are broken?

Superthrive will help new root growth. you can get it and walmart or homedepot. Little pricey but I have learned to use 1ml per gallon to help plants though shock.
