I have had my DWC system running and plants in it for about 10 days now.......they all started off great but now I have the two largest beginning to droop and lay over.....I don't know if I had the light too far away to start or if I didn't give enough nutes.....but now I need to fix the problem before it gets any worse.....any help???

Could be the light... What kind are you using and how far from the plants are they? What kind of nutrients are you using?

I got the light down close now, but its been a couple days and the two bad ones show no signs of improvement.

Anything I can do further to fix or is moving the light gonna work but just take time???

You can try to bury the stems in the medium a little more.. In other words add more medium if you can..

What is the PH of the res? what are the PPM levels? What fertilizer are you using? What are you using for a medium? Rockwool? How big is each plants reservoir?

May be lack of oxygen in res. Try adding another airstone.

Make sure the water temps, aren't above 86*F cause some nutrients don't agree with warm water, and won't do their full job when these warm temperatures are present.

make sure no light is getting into the root zone-will stunt them for sure
