Hey dabman, yes, your babies look a little stressed!! I'm a newbie myself, but I can ask you some questions, anticipating what the expert growers might ask: What do the roots look like? Are you letting the pH fluctuate between 5.6 and 6.5? PH might be a little low. In my hydro setup, I let it fluctuate 5.6-6.4. You'll get some help soon, so hang in there!!!

First I would eliminate the possibility of root problems and heat stress. Is your grow area between 70F (21C) and 80F (27C)?

I would, like others, check the roots. Do you use Hydroguard? If not i would. I dont think it's pH if it is above 5 (however 5.5-6 is better). With hydro root problems are common. Hydroguard helps A LOT with root issues. Also using Hydroguard allows for slightly higher temps. Also also make sure you have enough oxygen being added to water (via air stones). Also also also make sure reservoir water is not too cold....i think only because it is winter where i am...

PS Not advertizing Hydroguard. Just know it has helped me and i don't know of any alternative (other than hydrogen peroxide which i do not recommend)

Nebula recommends Hydroguard; I use it, too. Great product, price is right.
