i have 6 plants in this dwc system, lastnight i lowered the rez a small bit because of signs of overwatering. this morning i go in my room and see that one of them has its leaves starting to curl up and they are dry and crispy. the roots seemed to be moist from the stones splashing a mist of water on them. the rest of the plants in the same system look fine but this one is bad lookin. what should i do?

also i positioned one of the airstones under the net pot to hopefully get more water on the roots and i misted the leafs with a condensed throve alive solution.

looks like a problem with the nuts. The plant is getting no nutrients from the water and it just slowly dieing

So, all you did was lower the water in the res? A seedling that size should have a small root system exploding out of the net pot into the water res and getting bigger every day... Hopefully you don't have the water level too low.

How are you showing signs of over watering in a dwc setup, and how high is your water level? I believe the only way you can over water is by not having enough oxygen in the res water, drowning your roots.

I mean, from the info you gave us it could be too many nutes not enough nutes not enough water not enough oxygen in the water or too acidic ph. My guess is whatever is wrong will start to effect the other plants too, that would be weird if one plant just randomly fell over and died.

well i have no nute burn or defeciencies in any of the other plants. the overwatering signs im seeing is the leaves curling down at like a 180 degree angle. i do have root explosion going on with all the plants, i did however lower the light to 18 inches above the plants lastnight but im using a cool hood that is cool to the touch. i keep my ph at 5.7 and check it twice a day and calibrate if needed. im using 475 ppm bc grow and boost and tapwater, also im using a 20-30 gallon air pump with 2 stones in the water and my dwc is only 18 gallons so i know my water should have enough oxy in it. i should probably get some h2o2 though. any more suggestions?

its not nutes if it was all your plants would look like this i would cut the damaged part of the leafs and just feed them plane water till it starts looking better if its not better in a week or so rip it out and charge it to the game dont waste your time on one plant when you have 5 other healthy ones it might be alot of salt build up on the roots not allowing it to take in water properly so that could also explain the plant looking over watered(common misconception) just cut the nutes for a week the other plants shouldn't be bothered you might also want to top it and wait for new growth if you see new growth thats a good sign the plant is recovering
