Weak drooping branches

if you watered it and it still looked like that, then it's probably overwatering.

Anytime my plant starts drooping and I water, it perks up within 5-10 minutes. and I water every 3-4 days.

everyone's thinking over water, what about branches turning spongy and dropping late in flower in DWC ?
you would think its been in a steam bath the way some of them feel and sag .
humidity stays around 40-45 temp no higher than 8o indoor.

Have you checked your roots? It's actually possible to overwater DWC if you have root issues. Phosphorus deficiency is a cause of problems like you describe.

You don't mention any details. Are you checking your pH regularly? Meaning daily. PPM or EC?

You set your res at a level like 450. You check daily. Some people OCD and do it multiple times daily.

It will remain fairly stable and actually might rise just slightly if the plant drinks instead of eats. Check daily. When the PPM starts to drop it's the sign they're eating. Once the PPM drops around 200 you swap out the res solution.

You set it up at 600. Repeat the above.

pH you check daily. If it starts to swing suspect root issues. If you do DWC buy a jug of botanical grade 34% H2O2. Root health is absolutely everything .

Do you have a lot of air to the soup?

yes large air stones, right now im using Aqua veg & Aqua floral & cal mag . I check them once a day and i change my water every 7 days i only ppm when I'm mixing, should i check ppm daily as well & only change when it drops ?
 
like i said this plant has been thru some issues . first i had a light issue now have two types led and a sun system 475 watt hps for flower . then i had some die off learned about water temp got that taken care of in a short time it rebounded then out of the blue i had a cooling line leak and flood this plant and my closet. i started veg way to late it outgrew my tent and got burned while i was trying to make room in a large closet where it is now.
started in the beginning of april went into flower in mid may it was about 3 foot tall it's about 7 foot 2 right now have not seen any real growth in like a week or so but it is changing colors and im seeing these branches drop.
learned a lot or so i would like to think in just a few months, I now have a small tent for seedlings and a larger tent .
i plan on starting them a little sooner into flower next time .. im now starting to flower some bubba kush as this one ends .

Check your PPM daily. I do it right after lights come on because I get busy and forget. It's interesting. But yes check daily for best results.

Did you measure your old,solution before dumping?

So i had my girlfriend go check it today since I am not home. she sent me this picture and it looks pretty grim....
I think I'm going to flush it and see what happens but I'm expecting it to die. I could still use advice if anyone has seen this before so i can keep it from happening to my next plant :( View attachment 1546499

side note: notice the sexy blackberry bush... yum :)

From the pic it looks like something has chewed around the bottom of the main stem.
