Ok I posted this in my journal but thought I might get more responses here. My husband is away and I'm left with 4 wilted WWs! Over the weekend they were pruned and flushed. He added Lucus formula (also added Flora Shield for the first time) They sat out for several hrs (in water) after being back in tent started wilting, he drained the res replaced w nutes but didnt add the Shield this time, still wilting. Lowered water level, lowered lights, turned up ventilation ? These are things he told me over the phone to write, so some things might be a bit off sorry lol. Anyways, idk if they are just shocked from the flush and being out of tent so long?? Oh, we also added a portable AC to closet. I dont think that has anything to do with the wilting, but it and the Shield are the only new things we've done. The only thing I can figure thats caused the wilting is a combination of the plants sitting out, the pruning, and flush?? Here's 2 pix, a before and an after.

perhaps something is wrong with water oxygenation? check that the airpump running into the water is working properly and that it has a pipe running to an airstone (a long thing that makes bubbles) under the water.

one thing i can tell for sure - your husband is a lucky man! from you looking after his plants

Lol thanks man! The airstones seem to be fine. H2o oxygenation should be excellent. They are in an under current system that he built. Could they be this badly wilted from sittin in water for a few hrs while res change, pruning, etc?? That the only thing I can figure. Again thanks for advice +rep

that's what i was thinking...if they had the air-stones, while sitting for so long, they might have been ok ? but even still ....seems a bit long for them to be in water...few hrs? ahh ...just a thought?

Thank You! :bigjoint:
