what's your humidity at? I've seen plants do this when it's too humid...esp the indicas

I've run some strains in the undercurrent that were great in soil, but not so great in the undercurrent. I like leggy sativa-like strains with weak stems for the undercurrent. Sometimes you get a strain in that just wants to grow bushy and grow a big stem and fill the bucket with roots. I have found some things that will get them to stretch up more though:
Getting your temps up as long as the solution is cool
More nitrogen
More humidity
Cutting away some of that bottom growth
Less lighting

All these apply in veg, hopefully it will help you out.
I only like to run one strain at a time in the system too.
I've grown grape ape in soil before and it probably would'nt be a choice of mine for the undercurrent.
It's a fantastic high though, super mellow

Thanks owlfarm ive cleaned up some of the bottom growth already. I'm just gonna put them in flowering tonight and cut my losses.
