does anyone think these plants will yeild a whole lot less if they don't improve.

they have been stuck in this droop and color for a few weeks now ...i've tried everything i can think of.

what does it look like to you?

They look fine, give us more details such as
We need all the info on your grow including
What strain?
How old?
What type of medium?
What type of lights?
How far from the lights?
What, how much and when was it fed?
What is the medium/runoff pH?
What are the temps and humidity in the room?
What size pots?
If any of these questions have already been answered please disregard as I cut and paste this for everyone.

What strain?night life(night trainx o.g kush) and chem dawg
How old?about a month and three weks( one week into 12/12)
What type of medium?coco and hygromite
What type of lights? two thousand watt hps in cool tubes
How far from the lights?about 28 inches
What, how much and when was it fed? it is in a recurculating water farm system ppm is around 1200
What is the medium/runoff pH?about 5.9
What are the temps and humidity in the room?temps are strong at 75 in the day and 60- 65 at night
What size pots? i thinkk five gallon, it is the water farm buckets

i put coco mats at the bottom of the inner buckets to avoid pump clogging, could that cause any issues?

Yeah pump needs to be free and running. Ph of 5.9 is a bit high. I wonder if they uptake differently at pH 5.8 or lower.

This is just a thought, not sure if it's right. But I'm wondering if, since they're under a 1000w HID, you might not need to up the nute concentration a bit more. That's a lot of light, and the plants will grow very quickly under it...which means they eat more. I could be wrong though.

Also, maybe check your TDS in the buckets instead of in the reservoir. If those mats you're using are slowing down the circulation too much, you might find that the plants are getting less nutes than you think they are.

Just a couple ideas. Might not be worth much
