Plant drooping

hey guys so I don’t understand why my plant is dropping like this. 2 days ago I hit it with some H2O2, did a res change yesterday.

Temps 68-70
Ph 6.14
Ppm 710
GH Flora trio
Cal mag
Hydroguard

I thought it was not enough DO so I bought 2 air pumps with air stones to make that a total of 3 air pumps in my system. Everything looked good 7 hours ago when I looked before I went to bed. Any help is appreciated.


Also water level is a good 2 inches under net pot.

Water temps were 68-70

Air temps are 74-78

What are the LPM's of your airpumps? I've seen people make do with fairly low lpm's before, so idk if this is your problem.....so, your plants weren't droopy like this app 7hrs ago, or am I getting ya wrong?

I have two of these

And a 70L hydro farm air pump in my res. Also on top of that I have a 1000 gph water pump shooting into water fall right next to my plants. I’m 90 percent certain that it’s not a lack of oxygen.

My RH also dropped as well. It was pretty easy to hit 50% humidity in my room but today and yesterday both seem like I can barely hit 40. Maybe something with the stoma?

You are correct though I saw this yesterday at lights on and did a complete res change and that seem to be fine. I had to wake up before my lights turned off and noticed the pictures that I linked. I added a little more plain RO water to my system and now my ppm are at 650 and the distance between the net pot and water is about 1 inch or so.

Try an air pump like this with a 4 way splitter and a two bubble bars.

Thanks man I’ll add this to the list for next grow. The 3 separate air pumps I have now should suffice for this grow. I also have waterfalls in my grow bucket so I’m almost positive there is no problems with DO. My issues were resolved with some H202. I’m sure it was a weird source of bacteria. Here is a pic of my waterfalls

Yeah man you're good to go on DO, I wouldn't invest in more/another air pump unless or until one goes out or you simply decide to upgrade...I have a 110lpm air pump going to two different 5 gal buckets and it's like a rumbling river in there lol. I'm glad you figured out the cause of your problems, apologies I couldn't be of help! Consider getting some beneficial microbes like Hydroguard, Great White, etc etc. Then even with temps higher than 68F you'll still more than likely be fine, and it has an added benefit of making your root growth explode! Really can't recommend it enough for DWC.

I was using Hydroguard. 2ml per gallon. That’s why I was confused. Now I just drop a cup of H202 every other day. My chiller kicks on if the temps hit 70. The growth is extreme in this set up. Almost 3 inches a day on the main branches.
