Ive just had a look at the first 2 pictures of your plants in their ebb and flow and they look very healthy.

This is just an assumption, but you say ten days ago, that you're feeding at 7AM 8mins a feed every 3 hours.

And according to your post above i think your still on the same feed schedule/routine.

in my opinion those plants have out grown that feed pattern, and now need more regular feeds, maybe for shorter intervals, with a slightly stronger nutes.

I can see roots sticking out the bottom of the plant thats right middle and the one thats top right, this would indicate to me that the plant might be thirsty hence the drooping leaves.

The 2 plants at the front still look healthy,if the flow/drain goes that way, this would suggest that they sit in the solution just a little bit longer therefore getting a longer drink.

Looking great Shogun, I see you have added Hydroton pebbles into the tray around the pots to stop the light on the roots, which is a good idea :) would it be more benneficial to raise the level of the pebbles around the pots though giving more room for roots? Like a giant pot :) I don't know as have never used your system before but in my head it makes sense lol.

Alright m8 cheers i have more pebbles soaking as we speak i didnt want to put to many in the now as there is still plants not shown sex
i have cheese for my next run so i cant wait to fill the table with clones..lol...Atb shogun
