your pH should be 5.5 and your temps should be lower by 5 or 10 degrees. Vinegar will lower your pH. What ppm's
are you at and what nutes are you using?

Its def overwatering, your drowning that thing by watering so often. Rockwool only needs 5 mins of drip once or twice a day, your doing about 100 times that!

Res temps, you need to get it cooled off, preferably under 72F, colder water holds more oxygen. The more oxygen the better the roots do. The better the roots, the better the plant.

Res PH needs to be anywhere from 5.6 to 6.2, not lower, not higher. Use PH down, its fucking cheap and will last you for years. Pool places or hot tub places also carry PH Down.

chill out bro, it takes a couple days for these things to happen, you won't ever get instant results. The damage was done already, caused by weeks of overwatering, might take a week to get back on track. be patient.
