This is my first grow i recently changed the res and i got these awfully droopy plants. Prior to this they were in a 20 g rubbermaid but i switched over to buckets to easily control each individual plant. These are from seed Pure AK seeds to be exact and on my third week. HELP I CANT LOSE MY YOUNGNS :'(

Swank give us all the details what your growing in medium wise is that hydro or coco? whats the ph of your water etc etc im not much on hydro or coco im a soil grower but to me they look healthy other than the droop almost like they are needing moisture?

Im growing in what i believe to be called bubbleponics. I have a air pump hooked up to two hoses. I used a T to divide one hose into two seperate buckets. Rapid rooters used to germinate in clay stones. I believe my ph to be in between 5 and 6 i cant directly pin point with my kit. I've been growin from seed with a 150w hps and 100w mh at the same time the entire growth. I know that's not a great wattage so to say but with the poor ventilation of my closet grow its been doing quite well. I admit my humidity is very low (30%) but I never had the drooping until I recently changed my res 3 hrs prior to this post. During the process i was switching hoses and air stones and the plant was just sitting in water this never happened before. Am i suppose to drain it or is it something else like nutrients? Idk but i feel like im making run on sentences lol

I switch to the buckets because in my diy model i was fearing root rot wit a tint of brown on the roots idk if it was just stained. I would take a pic of the roots but the lights just turned off. I used floragro tri formula for nutes 2 tsp gal in a 5 gal bucket csuse i didnt want to over do it. With this free sample i picked up at my local hydro store. I cleaned each bucket with 3% peroxide and added 5 tsp to each bucket. Idk if this was smart or not but i also treared to roots directly and idk it didnt seem to harm.

Sounds like this is happenned after right after a res change if so then a few problems could have happened.
1- your ph is way off and needs to be fixed
2- you shocked your plants with a massive temperature change in water
3- if you are using tap water you could have crazy amounts of chlorine and chemicals that your plants hate.

You should do a process of elimination starting with 1.
Do you check your ph and ppm or your solution with a digital meter?
Those are a must when growing

H202 is very smart to use

Hard to say from the pic. They look pretty good. You can try a root stimulant like super thrive. Just a small amount. Dont over do it.

What is the water temp? Are those roots slimy? If not, I would say they are stained. The first set of picks looked as though they were starving for more air in the buckets. You def should increase air into those buckets anyhow and keep the water temp below 68. A root stimulant would help as well. GH makes one called Rapid Start.

I used tappin' roots which was a dark brown which possibly could've stained them but my temp is 68° and i cant tell if they are are slimy they dont stink tho
