Why are my hydroponic plants wilting?

For the most part, your plants exist almost entirely thanks to a nutrient solution. If that solution is too alkaline or too acidic, your plants will experience nutrient deficiencies or simply die. An off-kilter pH level is one of the most common reasons for plant die-offs in a hydroponic system.

Is my plant overwatered or Underwatered?

If the soil is wet, it’s overwatered – if it’s dry, it’s underwatered. Browning edges: Another symptom that can go both ways. Determine which by feeling the leaf showing browning: if it feels crispy and light, it is underwatered. If it feels soft and limp, it is overwatered.
