That moment you decide to clean up some of your handy work and organize your wiring.

Running hydro in a sealed, controlled room with co2.

Next thing you know plants are looking over watered and what looks like transpiration issues, drooping like I have never seen them. Like wtf! Everything was fine until I messed with all the wiring which looks a lot neater by the way.

Well after checking roots, water and air temps, humidity and fans. I look over and see my CO2 controller is signaling for CO2 during lights out... Wtf I say to myself. Sure as shit instead of plugging my controller into the timer I plugged my timer into my controller so with it being a manual timer everytime the CO2 was up to the setpoint it shut off the power to the timer and that pauses the time until it calls for more CO2. So was pretty much running full CO2 on top of what the plants produced during lights out

TLDR: I'm a fucking moron and lesson learned.
