Howdy vinny, how are ya?

If your saying you water for 15 minutes every hour your plants could be drooping due to overwatering. When i run an ebb and flow system i water for 15 minutes every 3 to 4 hours. If the leaves that are drooping are limp and lifeless: not enough water. If the drooping leaves are sturdy and actually kinda hard to push back up than their overwatered.

peace

Yep that's overwatering , only overwatering , underwatering , shock and being rootbound ,, will make a cannabis plant lower her leaves like that

peace

Wouldn't hurt to check your PH either - just to be on the safe side...
But yeah - 15 min every hour is too much....

thanks guys so should I let them dry out a bit then water every 4 hrs

I'd go every three hours and for heaven's sake - check your PH
In your system of growing PH is critical - and just about anything over 6.0 is too high - 5.8 would be perfect
Just from looking at them I'd guess your PH at about 6.8 - 7.2 range
And they will droop once you get in the sevens......
Also - what are those rocks doing in there with the hydroton..?

those are silica rocks they hold less water than hydroton. I think my problem is overwatering and high ph so we will see if they turn around.God I hope so my last bog clones.

Compare your transplant depth to the others that are doing good.

I struggled with a similar problem and finally realized the ones that were drooping were just planted too deep (My bad dea to reduce tip over) and the top of the rootzone was remaining too wet regardless of the watering frequency.
