Did you do anything yesterday or the day before (add nutriets or change anything)?
Do you have a pic?

Take pics... give us more info. Wilting could literally be from a number of things.

Ouch ! Is the air pump running? Bubbles? Have you flushed the res?

Yeah -
If it just occurred overnight and the temp has not been drastically altered and nothing has been added to your reservoir, you might want to flush the eservoir, add distilled water with 1/4 nutrient strength. I would also check for bugs/gnats and spray the leaves with distilled water. The brown roots could also signal a lack of oxygen - check to see that the water pump is working. I hope she has not contracted one of the many forms of root rot. If it is root rot, you need to be sure the aeration is working. Clean your reservoir with hydrogen peroxide. Use a fungicide for root rot if the rot is not too far advanced. If the root rot is too far advanced and the plant does not respond to your attentions, you will need to try and clone the plant to salvage it.

Really? Your very first post is a lecture on root rot....Please .....

Yeah, that's right Mr. My VERY FIRST POST is a lecture on root rot. Imagine that. You must think I'm some sort of unheralded genius - If you do, you're correct - I am a genius. I've been growing indoors and outdoors since 1974. I started out my "post modern" growing experience using a couple Aerogardens - under LEDs. So, I have encountered this wilting problem on numerous occasions. I am replying to you as a courtesy to the distressed individual who asked for assistance. They said their temps, etc. have not been changed. If you have something constructive to contribute, please do. Otherwise, DO NOT answer my posts to other members in a vain attempt to glorify your ineptness. I am merely attempting to contribute and to learn. I'm not here to compete in a pissing contest.

The outside temperature should be around 75 to 80 degrees and the water temperature should be at or even slightly below 68 degrees for hydroponics/aeroponics. The temperatures can be increased slightly if you are using CO2 - However, since your plant is stressed, I would keep it cool. Also, you may want to check your humidity. Sometimes, when my plants have become dis eased, especially when they are young, I have covered them with either a transparent plastic container or a transparent plastic drop cloth (try to keep the plants from touching the plastic) and the extra humidity helped them recover more quickly. Just keep as much aeration in your reservoir as possible. As long as your roots are in the water, you can never have too much air going to those roots.
