How old are your plants? And have you started giving them nutrients? What kinda setup do you have? Need a lil info before i can help you out

They have been in my aeroponics setup for a week, before that they were a couple weeks old (rooted in rockwool). I give them iguana juice grow, and I have a homemade aeroponic setup with a 18 gallon rubbermaid resevoir. The misters are on 24/7 and I have a MH light on 18 hours/day. The temp in the grow room hovers around 88 during the day. I have a fan blowing on them when the lights are on. Thanks

I'm not all that familiar with Aeroponics however you may want to give them a little more darkness as it helps produce root growth(ie: Darkness makes the roots grow in search of water/light). Then again I could be wrong. Try 16 - 8 light cycle shouldn't hurt the plants any. Also I was told when transplanting you shouldn't feed them for about a week or until they look stable enough. Also what watt MH are you using?

Sounds like your temp is too high. Also what is your ppm, ph and reservoir temp?

reservoir temp was pretty hot, the last couple days ive been putting frozen water bottles in there to cool it down, ph is around 5.8, and dont know the ppm, i havent gotten a meter yet. but i follow the directions on the label and top off the res every day, rotating regular water, and 1/2 strength nutrients every other day.

400watt MH, so you think if I flush the reservoir and just put regular water for a few days and change the cycle to 16/8 it will be good? Dont the leaves look like a nutrient problem?
