wilttering, can i save it?

I had to be away for a couple days and my biggest plant almost drank all her water in the dwc bucket so she wilted pretty bad. Had this happen once before to a different plant and after resupplying the nutrient water she was looking good the next day. However this time after 2 days shes still drooping pretty bad. Anything i can do to perk her back up??

give her water...............

Don't over water....but do water. It didn't rain for a month here and my outside grow I only watered twice and it made it somehow. Just make sure you watch for signs of over watering.

Along with giveing them water to their roots, give them a good misting when the lights go out. Get down inside the foliage and stuff as well. I hardly ever mist my plants, but when they wilt from lack of water, I always mist them as well.

Good luck on their recovery.

Thanks everybody, i figured that water was all i could do but didn't know for sure. The plant is 3 weeks into flowering so i hate to lose it now. One more question,,, would cutting a lot of the fan leaves off hurt? there's a good many of them that probably won't purk back up anyway??

Leave them. When they plant needs nutrients, it will feed from those leafs.

Thanks Dangly, that makes sense. A friend of mine that's been growing for yrs. said, right before putting his plants into the flowering stage he cuts off all the fan leaves then after budding all he has to do is cut off the small leaves. Is that a good idea?????

I can not even imagine why anyone would remove ALL of the FAN leafs, just when they are going into flowering stage. Flowering stage is where the fan leafs are going to gather all that energy from the lights and put that energy into growing Buds. But to each his own. Just because I know people that feed their plants Piss, does not mean that I am going to go Piss all over my plants.

Hey guys im new to this site i could find out how to start a new thread but mine is related.. I have 4.... 1 month old plants that were in a ebb and flow system with a t5 on them feeding them flora series according to the feeding chart. I just changed them into a DWC and my two biggest strongest plants are wilted as F!@# and my lil ones that were kind of taking there time to grow up are all perky and pretty lol. it hasnt even been a day yet and i want to figure out what to do to FIX the problem.. so far i thought maybe i over watered them before i put them in the dwc.. the roots are not that long yet so i was thinking over watering was the problem, so i gently squeezed the rockwools to get most of the water out and now im just stuck here hoping they pull through, what else should i do. info would be much appreciated...Thanks o and my ph is 6.0 i have the T5 2 inches away from the tops a little fan just to keep the stems wiggling a little and two big air stones in my black reservoir... ill post pics

Those two clear lines are for two air stones, right? What temp is the rez? Are they all the same strain? How many crops do you have under your belt, that made it to a fruitful harvest?

the rez is 74 deg i have 3 super bud plants and one blue widow, and this is my 2nd grow. 1st grow i had two plants and it made a qp of dried happiness.

You ever wonder why Chinook Salmon (Kings) are so Huge in Alaska compared to Oregon and Washington? It is because the water is cooler in Alaska and holds more Oxygen and such within it. When you allow your rez in a DWC system to get so warm, you are starving your plant for Oxygen. Get that temp down to about 65 degrees. Make sure to have a good sized air pump with a 6 inch round air stone. This disks put out the heavy, super fine micro bulbs that airiates you water better.
