These are OG Purple autoflowers. 2 days ago they looked amazing. I went into the tent today and they are drooping like this! I have them set on the ACINFINITY auto water bases so they should be getting the correct water? 18x6 light schedule, everything was going perfect until this morning. Can someone please tell me how to right the ship? Thanks.

I have had that happen with my bubble-ponics set-up. Found the roots covered with brown slime. I changed the water a couple of times and let them finish. Probably the heat. In my case. Good luck. (not auto's)
 
Thanks for the advice guys. Here is what I think happened. So I purchased the ACINFINITY CONTROLLER 69 the other day. I hooked it up along with my filter, fan, humidifier, and lights. I set everything to VPD mode and with the low VPD trigger on .9 and the high 1.5. Well for some reason it didn't stay in those parameters and the humidifier was going FULL blast on the plants. I opened the tent and seen them dripping with water and the humidifier going HAM mode the day after I posted this so do you think that's the cause of it? Having all that extra water in the air + the auto watering pots? Since then I've turned it OFF.
 
I love the ac infinity controller. But I had issues with its auto modes related to humidity. I thought about getting the ac infinity humidifier that connects to it.

LOL Hopefully you have better luck than me friend. I contacted ACINFINITY and they looked through my settings and everything was correct...So dunno wtf happened lol Figured it was user error but I'm pretty tech savvy and did watch youtube videos before hand.
 
*UPDATE* So the leaves have perked back up after couple days no watering. However, I have a leaf showing some sickening signs. I use Fox Farm Ocean Forest. From googling it I've seen Potassium def could be prob? What do you guys think? I have 4 plants, other 3 look good but this one has 1 leaf look bleak. Here's the pictures.

Looks like cal mag to me. Normally caused by low pH then nute ratio (EC) or soil problems
New LEDs are almost twice as efficient as HIDs and produce at least 30% more yield, perhaps 50%. Nute problem right there

Yikes. This is why I don't like the idea of buying an already made system, I don't trust one size fits all. That's why I built my own watering system with fairly cheap separate parts/electronics that can easily be replaced by any brand (e.g. water pump, short-interval timer, day/week timer, tubing, fittings, air pump, air stones, drip tray, tub.....). You control everything and can adjust anything. AC Infinity does make nice products though, I just wouldn't use them all in one, but rather use them to build something of my own with other controllers and doodads.
 
When you say one leaf looks bleak, I don't think pH, EC, nutes, or that. If there is something wrong with one leaf, that does not necessarily mean there is something wrong with the whole plant. A whole plant issue like nutrients would affect the whole plant.
While your damage does look nutrient/pH, I would remove it and check it with a loupe. The leaf is dead, anyway, so removing it won't hurt.
 
I don't have the controller but I absolutely love the humidifier! I bought one last year and it was perfect until a tiny piece of coco fell into the water reservoir and blocked the push up valve from closing. I did not notice and all the water drained into the bottom - ruining the unit. Since it was my fault I said fuck it and bought another one. Not only was it the same price, but they upgraded a ton of stuff. The new one comes with a guard over the valve so the issue I had could not happen! Not only that but the tech is upgraded to show/track VPD - the old one only had humidity. I can't wait to get the rest of the AC system and set everything up. I'm in the middle of moving my grow room from our third bedroom to the garage, but once that is done I'm going all out.
