Purple OG dwc issues

A little background, this is the second time trying dwc, first time failed because I didn't realize a few things and corrected those issues and was able to grow again. I grow in my spare bathroom, was using the shower but moved it out due to heat. I had gotten bugs (spider mites/gnats) so i sterilized the room and all the equipment, bleach, h2o2, even my dishwasher. Changed the light from a 250 to a 1000 w because the light now has vents and air cooled. One bucket was switched out for a water indicator,fully sealed and no light leaks with the indicator. The other one hasn't been changed because the sealant wasn't fully dried, will be switching that on Thursday with the res change & flush.

Jan 17th I got 2 clones (purple og) from a club, not sure how old. But I have had them for 10 days now.

i had heat stress issues at first, took the carbon filter out of the shower and placed it outside the room, dropped the temps 14 degrees and then they started growing better and the taco shells started to go away. From 93 down to 82 is the highest I've seen now. Lows 68. Humidity 35%, highs 49% & lows 30%

I do not have a ppm meter at this time, I ordered one but it hasn't arrived yet.
Using x nutrients, micro, grow and amino blast.
I check my ph levels with a liquid tester. Checked last night and the ph was high, but I lowered it.(6.1)
i don't have a chiller, I'm doing the water bottle swap, I try very hard to do it about every 1.5 hours or so, but I still have to sleep haha. Someday I will be afford to get a chiller, but not this grow.
One of my plants seemed to do very well with the heat adjustment, and the other one just...not so much.
I don't see any bugs yet so I don't think it's bugs, and when I did a res change last Thursday I didn't see any algae..
Im sorry about the pictures, using my iPhone 4 at the moment

Any help will be appreciated, advice is always welcomed, and I can take any tips I can get. TIA

I know the sticky says to take the pics with the light off but I took it with my Nikon, plus they're less droopy when they're awakelol
Plant 1


Plant 2


I can tell there's still heat stress, still recovering from that. They even look better than earlier but let's hope they're just recovering from heat

you just anserd you own question they look good with the light off that tells me its to hot when light is on get fresh air in old air out keep around 75-76 you will have big problems with water getting to hot and bugs get a good exaust fan and get it cooled down and you will be amaised on how fast they grow

I think you misunderstood me,i said they look better light on than off. I heard that under 85 is good? Im able to get it lowest 83, which is a lot better than 93, and since I was able to get the heat down by that much,they aren't taco leaves anymore.

83 IS good, but you still need proper air circulation. that will help get fresh air they need and lower temps even more. i know you have a few already but try to get an oscillating fan or two in there. good luck.

I have 3 in there right now, one at the door to help pull in cool air, and I haven't even used my heater during light hours. And so far I got the temps down to 81 highest and 70 lowest. They look a bit better than before I got a handle on heat. Hopefully I can finish this harvest
