I think it might be the clear color container you are using. I been told you should always use a light proof container. I covered mine with foil tape. I made sure I had no light leaks in my container. The reason is the roots hate light, its not good at all. When you see people going hydro. The tubs are always a solid color or a black bucket.

i agree with the last post,you need to cover the clear container,read many post here saying that,

WATER LEVEL !!!! the water level in your res should be BELOW the net pots. A couple inches

AHH OK thanks for that. I will do that so only roots are in water and Cover clear container. Thanks for the help

Black out the rez, you can insulate it using Reflectix if you have water temp issues.

IMO those PH drops are not accurate enough for hydro. A small change on the scale of PH is huge changes to a plant, your scale jumps an entire PH point at the range you need to be in.
