Why is my leafs drooping and really dark please help

[mememolly]

Okay so i had these plants for more then a month now and it only has grown that big...
It is in 25gallon DWC with 60gallon of airpumps should i add more?
I gave it the basic nutrients of 200PPM and the PH of the water is 5.8
It is under LED and CFL lights 75F and 60% humidity on 24 hour light cycle.
Should my plant be way bigger than this after 1 month?? Why is the leafs drooping?

looks dwarfed to me for a month of veg. sometimes its the mother for clones, or is it from seed? Center growth looks goood. this is the size i normaly start with.
Im 3 weeks in, 2 weeks veg, one week at 12/12 and im at 3feet. BUT, i have one dwarfed that is maybe a foot tall.

Good luck!

Drooping is usually too much or too little water. You may have a root rot issue which inhibits the intake of water (check for nice white roots not brown ones)
A month of growth... you should have much larger plants. Something is wrong

How can hydroponics have too much water? isn't the whole plant on water? And the roots looks white and there is tons of root. Should i add more air pumps would that help?

Im not hydro but I know when cloning the more air the better! Too much water in hydro could be considered not enough air bubbles. White roots are good but a month they should be bigger.

Are they from seed? Also your led lights will make a dark leaves.

Also how much hydroton do you have compared to bucket? I think hydroton is just for keeping plant up right anything more is a waste of root space cause how much can roots really get around and fill up hydroton? It seems like when most hydro growers on here lift up there bucket when they have hydroton most of the roots are draped down and thick below hydroton......just a observation again I have never grown hydro.

Yeah they are from seeds. So are you saying i should use less hydroton or more? Someone told me to fill it up with hydroton so i did, under the hydrton is rockwool cube

how far do you have the rockwool buried? If the water in the bucket is hitting the cube it will drowned the root system.

the rock wool just barely touching the water level. Should it not touch the water?

Not at all. lower it. rockwool floods easy so a constant flow of water to rockwool will probably drowned the root system. reach ur hand inside your bucket and feel the underside of the lid. if it is wet you are watering fine. the water almost never touches the netpot in DWC. the bubbles the airstones create splash water up to the roots every second. water and air = happyness. too much of either is bad.

I just got 2x 170 gallon airpump and 8x 12inch airstones theres tons of bubbles everywhere now should i lower the water level so it barely touch the net or would the extra air be fine for now?

Read up on hydro threads on here will help try using google and type rollitup after your key words. You will get good help there picking brains. Not saying you won't get good advice here but finding it is faster.

just lower it. Obviously something you are doing wrong. troubleshoot. fix one thing. wait a day see if it gets better. if not try again. DWC (aka bubbleponics) the bubbles that splash up onto the net pots will give you plenty of water, if you buried the cube low then you are fine to have the water level a CM or two away from the netpot.
