HELP! Plant wilting!

[BeverlyRollins69]

I have one of my DWC tubs with two plants that are becoming limp and wilted. The plants are big and one month into flowering. I did a water change yesterday and I suspect that something went wrong with that. I'm draining the tub and am going to give it RO water with just half strength nutes, you guys think that should turn things around? Should I just give it plain water? Or full strength nutes?

please help me

I wouldn't give any nutes yet, try flushing that may work.

hope I can help
good luck

Well there's only water and hygrozyme in there for the night. Probably tomorrow I'm gonna drain again and put in fresh RO water and nutes. Any other thoughts?

More O2. Are your roots brown? If so you have root rot. If so, check the GrowFAQs to see how to rectify (hydrogen peroxcide).

I'm pretty sure the cause was I tried to use molasses in DWC tubs and got a film that covered everything after two days, air stones and plants included. I think that choked out the plants. I've since drained the nutes/molasses/water and now there's only water and hygrozyme in the tubs. I tried to rinse the film off the roots the best I can and the water isn't very clean now. Tomorrow I'm going to put in fresh RO water and fresh nutes with no molasses and hopefully everything will be ok.

Yeah Ive only heard of molasses in soil. I tried it with my last grow and I think it really had a negaive impact, not a positive one.

i know people who use molasses with success in hydro, it just had to be diluted with hot water first. that being said, i just use botanicare sweet instead of molasses. if you didnt dilute your molasses then that might be a problem...
