as you can see in the picture these plants look overwatered, they were watered since first day in this aeroflo 15min on/45min off.. besides the overwater, I did some over nuting as well, some have symptoms on couple of leaves..  first day when I saw the drooping leaves I changed the water and flushed them with clean water for 2 days on the same timer schedule 15/45, but they never changed.. now I have them in this state for over 2 days.. don't know what to do.. continue wasting my time and money waiting for them to come back to normal or start over?? (ps this is my first attempt to grow)

it looks like you could have a salt build up, thats why you add the least amount of nutes first and slowly add more. flush your plants with a bunch of ph balanced (5.5) water. get a ART DNe adjustable recycling timer and adjust time for like 15 secs on 1 min off or even 3 mins off and slowly raise your on and off time to what your plants need. good luck

i never made daily notes on what was the temperature or other things like pH.. usually they were on 18/6hr under 2x400W lightening, temperature 17-18C for the nighttime, 23-26C for the daytime; pH between 5,5-6 (I have the ph test kit from GHE,so cannot tell exactly..) they had the air extractor on for the 15 min they were fed then off for 45min and so on.., another fan for air movement in the room was always on.. the EC of my tap water is 0.5mS/cm (250ppm), nutes added and made it 1.0mS/cm (500ppm). the plants were fine for a week or so, after that I rised it to 1.4mS/cm (700ppm) and seen that they didn't like it, on 2 plants the leaves start drooping leaves, and only after a day when all of them had drooped their leaves I changed the water in the system, and flushed them for about 2 days with clean water.. I think you are right, I might fuck up with the pH after i was preparing to start the 12/12 cycle by changing the bulb from MH to HPS for the last couple of days, it gives a more redish spectrum of light in the room and maybe I wasn't adjusting the pH under 6 but it was closer to 5.. dunno what to think but my plants are getting worst every day, their leaves are getting more yellow, it appears they are underfed or something..  I'm so disappointed and hopeless.. I want to throw them away and start over, but what if this will happen again with my second try?  I need to find out the mistake I made.. and if this can be fixed or is it too late to save them? at the moment i have them on 24 hrs lights on, feeding EC 0.7 (0.5 of tap water + 0.2 from nutes) and still getting worst as you can see..

I dunno about the rez temp coz I cannot mesure it.. I think it is cool enough, if the room temp is at 18-19C then the rez shouldn't be too hot.. I see some mold already on them roots..  it becomes unbelievable for me that they will survive.. is it still possible?
