Woke Up To This!

So 3 days into flower and i walk in to turn light on and i find my hydro plant drooping badly. Ive followed all nutrient instructions. Can this be saved? I have a pic of it doing well then 12 hrs later it looks dead. What can i do? First hydro ive tried.

Looks like it needs water, did the water level drop below the roots. Or it just got too hit what's your temps.

My temp is 72-80 constantly. Water has been fine ph is good. I changed bucket couple days ago. Maybe nitrogen problem? The only nee thing i did was put fox farm tiger bloom in. So i changed water to its ph around 5.6- 5.8. Leaves feel dry and curled down.

So its working off ph water and fox farm big bloom at 1/2 strength. Seeing if that works. Should i go get aguashield?

You have air stones I'm assuming in your buckets?

Temp of water in hydro like this is crucial (65-72). They are sitting in nutes so whats your ppm/ec ? Did you just transplant or did they veg in these buckets?

Did you wash your rocks if you just transplanted (hydroton has high ph until its washed with lower ph)?

Looks like your not top feeding, so are the roots touching water? i don't see lock out or anything like that so I'm thinking your feed was okay at least until you added the tiger bloom which I'm not familiar with.

I can tell you from the first pic your ph is off. twisted leaves is a dead give away. ( how often do you check it)?

They have been in those same pellets since i started veg. And the ppm/ec i dont know. I dont have a meter for that to tell. Ill have to get one. The ph like i said has been good. I check it daily sometimes twice a day. And roots are in the water. Roots are big and balled up. Yes i have an airstone. I feed when i change bucket out, once a week and add ph 5.6-6.0 water from top to fill within week. And i use all foxfarm. My soil is doing great. This is like i said my first hydro. Can it be fixed you think. Its in 3rd day of flower.

Lower water level down to 1" below net. Ph should be 5.8-6.0 to start I don't let swing above 6.5. Temp is not that crucial if you run hydroguard and run 500gph or more in each bucket. I'd lower ppm too in the dwc. Maybe 3/4 of what you feed the soil

Thank you guys. Ive lowered water and clipped all the bad leaves. Now it looks naked but they are reaching for the light.. plant is still very green and thick healthy stock.
