I run a ebb n flow system that waters 3 times a day. I recently cut the 24 hour day down to 12/12 but just realized the leaves on one of my plants have severley drooped. I then seemed to notice all the leaves a bit droopy. Please help me im leavin town and want to know if i should jsut water once a day. The leaves look healthy so im just goin to flood once when the lights on over the weekend. Sound like a good idea? Check my pics.. any help would be much appreciated . Jah Bless

I agree with gotot.

Kinda looks under or over watered. The symptoms look similar, however, if you are in ebb and flow I doubt it is because they're drowning. Maybe another watering or two in the day, they can suck it up while in flowering.

So your saying i should lay off the water for a day then water just once a day during the light hours???
Thanks for the advise

well, from what I understand about ebb and flow is that you want to saturate your medium and then let it get almost completely dry before watering again. As said you only need to water with lights on. What is your medium?

I would dry cutting back the watering to twice with lights on and go from there. If you keep an eye on things you will be able to correct any problems with cutting back rather quickly.

The medium im using is clay pebbles in net pots. The entire ebb and flow table is filled with roots about an inch thick. I found the earlier problem was due to a malfunction in the pump timer.... I always over think things haha damn well i switched the waterin to go twice a day one an hour after the lights are on and then and hour before they go off... I'm out of town so i hope my caregiver can help me out with symptoms. The last i saw of em was they looked a lil dry and wilty but i think it was just caused by the lack of water for the lack of normal watering.
If anybody uses are has experience flowering in an ebb and flow any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
