Cleaned out rez last night. Go see the plant once a week to clean rez out. Saw it within minutes of dark period. This is week 2 of 12/12. Leaves were drooping. I dont know what I'm doing wrong. Seems like only the new growth is drooping. Is this normal. Also I use cal mag, liquid karma, hydroguard, hygrozyme, hydroplex, and pro bloom.

they sleep , you watch most plants even in your garden when evening comes , they hold down their little leaves and chill !! be like us holding our arms up for hours a day

Good glad to hear. I have never grown anything before so I'm learning

same here lol, mine do the same thing at night and next morning they were reaching for the clouds , i wish you all the best , dont water too much and dont feed too much , biggest and most common mistakes , water every other day , put your fingers into the soil and if its dry finger deep give them a bit , never feed on full strength nutes either , build up , my mistakes ive made so ill pass the learning curve to you

happy gardening .

Props for learning on hydro. It's a difficult skill to master from what I've read.
And major props for filling out all the grow information. That helps a lot!

Unfortunately, being hydro, I can't help too much, but we have a ton of guys who are experienced with hydro, and someone will come by to help you out on your specific setup. (I've also never looked at my plants after lights out, so I can't say if this is normal or not)

Was gonna grow with Soil but found ebb and flow setup for cheap in Craigslist locally. Came with 2 hps 400watt lights and nutrients for $100. So I figured I would give it a shot. Thanks for your inputs

I guess no one does Hydro anymore

Tons of people do hydro, sometimes replies are a little slow due to personal life, jobs, friends, family, the usual stuff. Just be patient, you'll get a reply.

The drooping leaves is natural during dark periods, nothing to worry about. If you check on your plants about 30 min from your normal lights on time, you should see them reaching for the light.
