Droopy plants. DWC Started 3 days ago, seems to get worse.

Plants were looking great. Roots were growing fast. Then I noticed some algae. Treated water with h202 changed out water, and gave the rez a bleach clean during the change out. Thoroughly rinsed all the bleach out, or thought I did at least. Roots look nice and clean. No more algae. But after that ordeal, they started drooping. One plant at a time over the past few days. Ph is right around 5.8-6. Ppm is 325. Plenty of air. I added 2 more airstones after this cause I thought it was overwatering? Doesn't seem to have helped at all. Light is 550w led. But only half the lights are running. Water temps-70 room temp 75-80 what am I doing wrong??

It's easier to follow the crowd a while before venturing out on your own. I would follow the Lucas formula HID crowd for a while until I got at least one grow under my belt. I have had bad luck with bleach also. Everything needs to be triple rinsed.

Turns out they just weren't ready for me to remove the top feed pump. Duhh. No biggie at all. Plants are looking mint again. I've had a few grows before. Just never hydro. And I've got no idea about Lucas formula or anything like that... just YouTube, Google, and this forum. Lol. Well see how this grow goes!
