You can over water rockwool if you dont have proper drainage or water too often. I would start by giving it less water less often, wait until it feels light when you pick it up before feeding it again. Your ppms are also about 3-4 times stronger than they need to be which will also reduce the plants ability to drink.What’s up guys I’m new here and not too sure if i put it in the right category sorry
so i have my plants growing in a hydro system which includes a groblock on top of a unislab with a drip system.. i keep reading about how it’s impossible to over water Rockwool but it just doesn’t seem to get better i let them sit for a day and a half with no water and today i watered them for about 5 mins with run off and before the watering they were picking up a bit but now after i watered cause i felt they were a little dry they are all droopy again and tacoing up on new growth i have 2 pictures of two different trees i empty the resivoir and only added my nutes with nothing extra have my ph about 6.0 and my ppm is about 1000 what could it be should i not water them till they are dry like almost completely ? Just worried it might kill them please help me out want to get these on the right path and keep growing !

Wait until the rockwool feels light when you pick it up before feeding it again.how long should i let it go for without water ?
Some are lighter then others was thinking of hand feeding those and leaving the heavier ones to dry out a little moreWait until the rockwool feels light when you pick it up before feeding it again.
I did twice on during veg, give them time to dry out and water after
I didnt water until the rockwool of the overwatered ones almost dry out. you will see the leaves pointing up again as they recover.just water or mixed with nutes ? How did they do did they snap out of it and come back ?

Watered them this morning they seemed fairly light i also opened up some more drainage holes weird thing is the stocks on them are big and sturdy and roots are growing through the slab and they are growing just feel like they are struggling, i had my room at 79-80 degrees so i brought it down to 75-76 and i increased my lights from 600w to 700wI didnt water until the rockwool of the overwatered ones almost dry out. you will see the leaves pointing up again as they recover.
So i waited and watered them this morning i also brought down the ppms to about 550-600 to see what happensYou can over water rockwool if you dont have proper drainage or water too often.
