Week 1 Hydro Droopy Plants

I just transplanted my plants to their final home, ebb and flow buckets. Here is the info:

Ebb and Flow
Hydroton
PH 5.8
Water Temp 68
Room Temp 72

Lights -
6 HPS 1000W
2 MH 1000W

Both lights are dimmed down to 600W and lights are 5 feet away from plants for 1st week.

Lights cycle 20/4

Nutrients - House and Garden 1/2 strength for 1st week.

Feeding - 3 times a day 20 Min


PROBLEM-

Plants seem to be droopy. Leaves are starting to bend down more and more eachg day. There seems to be alot of new growth on the tops.

The Hydroton was cleaned and rinsed well, however the PPM after 2 days goes from 400 to 900. I am in the middle of a PH flush right now to see if it fixes it.

Any input would be great.

minor shock from the transplant coupled with a possible lack of oxygen (but very doubtfully being eb and flow. what is your flood and drain cycle?). Are they expressing any sativa characteristics? sativa influenced plants like to droop on and off constantly from what I have seen. if they are growing its something i wouldn't worry too much about

Airstones in each res tank. Feeding 3 X a day 20 Min each. Only feeding when away.

Yes I have sativas and Indicas in the room. Both drooping. I will give them TLC and talk them through it.

Thanks,
