OK so this is a new system Ive never used before. Ive ran dirt,coco,rockwool drips floods,DWC, indoor, outdoor etc, etc and this is the first time ive had plants take a total shit on me and respond to nothing. These plants were being hand watered in red keg cups filled with hydroton for a week after getting rooted clones at my local co-op while I was setting up this new Ebb and Flow bucket system. They were all looking good and healthy all between 6-10 inches tall well on their way to being beautiful plants (strawberry diesel and Grape Ape). The day after I plant them in this new system they all just took a complete shit on me. I didnt know this at the time but the buckets dont fill up the whole way to the top only about 75% full so the top half of the roots got dried out so I dug up all the plants and replanted them to where to water line came up to the original rockwool cube. But still nothing Ive raised the lights, changed the nutrients brought the PPMs down moved the PH around and no response to anything. Three floods a day for 15 min (every 6 hours with lights on) Im using the Lucas Formula with hardwater Micro started off with 1400 ppms and steadliy brough it down to 800 PHed from 5.6-5.8. Im on well water with about 350ppms to start mostly calcium and lime. The room is a steady 71-78 degrees and the res temp is about 65-68. Any help or Ideas are appreciated. ITs been a week now and no growth or anything and severely curled and droopy leaves on all the plants. Ive included pictures to help with diagnosis. Thanks

Not a DWC guy But it would seem to me that your ppms are way to high for the size of the plants. You need some pure water and flush, get all the nutes and salt off the roots and start over a lower ppm say 500 and build up from there....Flush for a couple days
 
Its a Ebb and Flow bucket system and I have plants from the same batch that I planted In a coco/perilite mix in a diff room and im watering with the same exact solution Im even taking it out of the same reservoir even and those plants are just killing it big bushy and super healthy.

OK then just keep doin what ur doin.........
Or Change them abck to your old Mix
Don't try to reinvent the wheel, if it working for ya then do it, maybe take a couple plants and try this ebb and flow till ya get it down. Just my .02Cents
