I will try to find something else for the net pots. But I put some Hydroguard in my resovoir bout to days ago since the day before I water. I put about 1.5 ml. I will check my ph again today. My plants looking worse and worse everyday.
1.5ml?? No No you need 2/ml per gallon so if your res is 10 gallons you need 20ml.

Take cuttings and start fresh.

Jiffy pellets are organic matter that will get in your reservoir. You didnt state if you were doing peroxide (h2o2) to keep your solution sterile? once you add hydro your are using bio and you will not be able to add h2o2.

Your are also getting light in your container which is causing algae, which is also being fed by phosphate from the degrading peat moss pellets. If you start fresh and plan this out right now you will have much less headache.

I used peroxide a couple of days until Hydroguard came in. I changed eater and didn’t use anymore. So I need to cover my holes also. But I will check I think I have a small scratch on the container which is black.

I wouldn't have a problem with Jify pellets. A little peat in the water shouldn't hurt anything. I have done it a few times. They can't leak that much peat because they are tiny. The plants are not happy with the nutes though. Something is toxic to them. I would invest in some name brand nutes that others have had success with. Definitely cover the unused holes. I think I see bubbles in thee so that is good.

They look they are getting worse.
Hydroguard = No Peroxide unless cleaning between runs. The bacteria in HG are going to do the job of keeping your res shit free. If you add peroxide you will kill them.
You never said what brand nutes you were using. That would be quite helpful.

What brand nutes are you using?
If you mix in the wrong order some of the nutrients will bind and fall out as a visible solid. I know for a fact it happens with GH trio but I havent used any others and seen it. GH Trio will fall out as salt looking chunks if I mix it wrong.
I don’t know but i ordered some fox farm
