Droopy leaves

[MissTricky75]

I've got a young plant in full hydro bucket. No water roots just yet. The leaves are drooping slightly. I've done this for years but it's also been about 13 years since I've grown. Refresher course for sure. I've two air lines with stones in my bucket. The roots are submerged in the water, I'm not quite sure what the issue may be. Any suggestions are most welcome.

Sorry to hear that man trial by fire as they say

Water temps?
What’s the air temps at canopy level?
Any photos?

How much light do they get?

water temps at about 68 degrees. Brand new vivosun system. Looks to be plenty of light. I'm wondering about tent temp. What should that be roughly? Tiny tiny yellow spots on a few of the leaves.

Also what your PH and CF/EC?

Have you inspected underside of leaves with a loop? Also checked the root system for root health and any sign of wrigglers ? (It’s unlikely but just good procedure imo)

Temps should be 24-28c ideally.

Also how often are you watering atm as the roots aren’t yet in contact with the res right?

Good point. Also distance from the plant?

Hydro is not my field... i would first think of thrips damage when i see these spots because there are a lot. Maybe you could do some close up shots from both sides of a leaf!?

On the other hand, these big spots looking like light burning from water spots but also could be damage from fertilizer.

The PH is running around 7.5. Please forgive me what is the EC and CF. Im old school. Lol. The leaves are clean. No buggies at all! The roots are in fact reaching the water even some are submerged. Roots are good! No root rot.

CF = conductivity factor it’s the strength of your nutrient.

Your PH is to high it needs to be lowered to 6ish

Thank you so much! I'll lower it. I'll have to check my CF here shortly.

All good

Maybe check your room temps and humidity too just so you know….. knowledge is power

Hope that sorts it for you
