flooding them twice a day? Why on earth?

Man, its due to over watering..dont water ur plants that often... wait till one - two inches of the soil dries up...then and only then can u water again...u'll kill ur plants like this man, take good care of em.. all the best

30-35 celcius??? Thats a bit too hot there mate if you got zero humidity.... also may be an over watering problem too what medium are you using?

Well mate you need only water them with a pump for approx. 1 minute per day, or until your drainage starts to drip. Any more is an over kill!!! Get those temps down too if ya can!!! Try around 25-28 celcius.

FYI bud you do want some humidity. This looks like a shock or sorts. What is your ppm and what nurturance are you using…. I am guessing they are all clones?

Yeh its workable but really do need to drop the temps a couple of degrees. Humidity needs to come up alot mate, i think your hygrometre is fucked but then again maybe you live in a desert or something i dont know. Try get another fan onto your plants or something and definitely cut down your watering scheduele asap cause that looks like your main concern.

Yeh mine can spike at 32 or 33 but a constant temp of 35 isnt going to get you the best results... But as i said, its an over watering issue.... I dont understand your PPM reading though.

Oh i see... Well depending on what nutrients you are using, just add slightly more and more each time you feed until the leaf tips begin to burn then take a reading, start over a new nutrient formula and back off the nutrient amount slightly and thats how much nutrients you should be using but they seem to be looking ok in that department.

The dropping = over watering

Leaves curling = Heat stress...

Good luck mate!

1000 ppm is a little high for that size of plant. You def are over feeding it with water so pull it back some.

I had this happen only when I

A over water… Your plants look like this although the textures of the leaves look bad
I am assuming this has been going on for a couple a days now maybe longer than a week?
B Over feeding. You can shock the plants and they lock up. It’s a way to stay alive for them. Your plants look more like this because of the way they are hanging. I’m sorry to say that it is going to take a couple of weeks for them to bounce back and that is if you do everything right to save them. However I am growing hydro … Your plants look like soil mixed with clay beds. And still only need to be watered every couple of days… In fact, I do a flood and drain system with 3 inches of beads and only flood once a day because of the winter and cold temps in my house. Even if your buckets were all clay beads you would still only have to flood once a day. The reason is the deeper the balls go the longer for the water to dissipate. I hope this all works for you man you have a nice set up good luck.
