They look under-watered, but I grow hydro in my room. I flood my 5 gallon tray 3 times a day for 30 minutes each time. I'm considering bumping it up to 4 because the reservoir has dropped dramatically and I'm thinking that means they're extremely thirsty, but I'm not sure that's the issue because I'm new to this. I know there's other things that look like under-watering, but everything seems alright.
The only thing that stuck out to me besides the reservoir level were the lights. They were like 2 inches from the plant and there wasn't good air flow up there, so I considered heat stress. So I raised the lights to 4 inches from the plants and made sure the fan was blowing across the bulb/top area.
I'm somewhat fresh off a reservoir change, but not entirely fresh, because I changed it Thursday, which is also when I switched to 12/12. Everything was fine until today, when I noticed that my reservoir was almost half empty.
I've checked my pH and it's at 5.8. The amount of nutrients is the most I've given it yet, so its not a deficiency. Under/over watering or heat stress is all I can think of. I appreciate any help. I'm growing in gravel. Temperatures in the grow space is 79 degrees, my water is 74.
Thanks for any help.
1) PICTURE OF PLANT *** VERY IMPORTANT ***
2) Growing indoor or outdoors -- Indoors
3) Watering schedule -- 3 times a day, ebb & flow
4) Growing Medium -- Gravel
5) What stage of growth -- 1st week of flowering
