Lost air to DWC

[Conkcowboy]

Doing my first DWC . I had a airhose come off the pump and have a sick plant. I when I found the issue I washed the rootsbin clesn water and changed the nutrient water then replaced the plant.
the plant still looks weak and wilted.
Any other knolage would be appreciated.
Thank you

Photo? Often times "weak and wilted" plants in DWC aren't getting enough oxygen to the roots. Is it a seedling in rock wool by any chance? Overwet rock wool can form a smothering blanket around the roots. If so, gently pull it away and let the roots sit in just hydroton or whatever media you are using.

If your plant is not in rock wool but has just been in still water with no circulation, reconnecting the hose should help. Act fast, though.

Please be careful how you handle your hose in the future.

DKN, haha! Still got jokes!

Alright cowboy,
You already know why the plants are fkd up with the air hose coming off the pump. Same effect as big-time overwatering in media.
Get the bubbles going and your system running properly. The plants will shock, Wilt , and look like overall shit for a couple weeks but new growth will be nice and normal. Don't mess with them. You will cause more stress and harm. If they have ANY life, they will grow. If they fall over and shrivel up... Start over.

Yeah, been there a couple times damn near losing an entire run of seedlings, young veggers over air pump issues. Good luck

how old is your plant?? any pics? if its a seedling make sure you drop your water level an inch and a half below the net pots and make the roots chase it.
