Hi everyone, I am currently having some problems with my budding babies. The lower leaves have started turning yellow and falling off. Also the newest leaves on the top are coming out curled over. I have attached some pictures so you can see the problem. I believe that the yellowing leaves are from root rot which I have been trying to cure with H2O2 but Im not sure why the young leaves are curled over. I am growing in a home made hydroponic system similar to the Aerogarden just larger. I am using technafloral plant products for nutrients and the PH is just about perfect around 5.8. If anyone can help me keep these girls going strong I would strongly appreciate it.

Root rot is a fungus that grows on your roots. It coats the roots and blocks their ablility to absorb nutrients and oxygen.
If you've got a known working root rot issue, I wouldn't bother trying to fix any other issues before you solve the root rot issue as you're likely to cause more damage than good.

Yep, the root rot is limiting nute uptake, causing deficiencies. Until you can get the root rot under control, it might be a good idea to start foliar feeding, because the nutes will be directly absorbed by the leaves, bypassing the root problem. Foliar feeding is 8-10X more efficient that root feeding, so if done correctly, will help alot.
