Droopy Leaves

So I have a nice Hydroponic system but my plants are starting to worry me.
They're about 2 weeks old and the leaves are starting to droop more than I'd like them to but on the other hand, the whole grow box is covered in reflective tape so they might be curving to get the best of the light. They seem strong mind you, but I'm still worried. I'm an old pro at consuming the stuff, but this is my first attempt at growing.
If I could figure out how the heck to post pictures here, I would but that seems to be giving me even more problems. Dog gonnit.

in the 'advanced' mode there is a button that says manage attachments, or in your 'my rollitup are theres alink that says pictures and albums, if you follow that you can upload photos there and copy the link into the mountain button.
aww jeez, i'm ripped, hope that makes a lick of sense.

Anyhow 9 times out of 10 droopy leaves are a sign of overwatering, thats my 'shot in the dark' guess.

Welcome to rollitup.

You have to make several posts before you're allowed to add attachments. What that number is I don't know, but it's more than one.

I've got a "PC Planter" followed their instructions as to maintenance and all, and they've gotten to pretty good sizes but now they just don't look like I feel they should. The leaves are practically limp and starting to have yellow spots.
Grrr... Should I ditch them and start over? I'd really only be losing a few weeks time.

If your problem gets fixed or if they're still doing ok they can bounce back. If the problem isn't corrected though and it's fatal starting over will probably have the same result. Did you mention what kind of water you're using or what your ph is? Hope your plants get better man.

I use the ph control kit to keep the water between 5 and 6 (so says the bottle).

Well... Messed with the Nutrients a bit, started distilling my water and then doing the PH manually, Looks like they've gotten better (knock on wood).

what did you do with your nutes? (I've got the same problem) my ph is around 5.6 and I carbon filtered my water last time I flushed.
