yesterday the plants went into bloom, i did some work in the grow room. put up a air filter for odor control, put up the hps. everything is running fine on bloom nutes as well. the plants look happy and are just 19 inches tall

I think they might be a little too small yet to be feeding them full nutes. DWC can be a tricky set up and takes time to adjust. I usually grow mine for another week, and then switch them into flower and start feeding them nutrients.. I just nute locked my plants in week 6 of flower due to too much nutrients building up in my tank. Ended up losing about an ounce, but all is not lost.. Do you have solid root structures hanging through the net pots? Could also be due to overwatering if the water level is pretty high up on the net pots.
If you have proper aeration, then the water level is not going to matter at all.

its been a crazy week with Easter and building a veg closet to put my new ladies that i just popped in. they look great considering that 10 days ago they went into the paper towel to germ.
I had 8 other plants going, 4 of them turned out to be male and will be disposed of tonight i cut them down yesterday. the bloom is 10 days in as well.

i was running a 20gal aquarium tank pump in the beginning but now i have just upgraded to a eco air1 very quiet 18w and 38 liters/min so it pumps some great air. i think that would do fine for you. but a 50l res might get small during flowering as im finding out now haha i have 2 plants in 10g which is very close to what your growing with. the roots are massive 2 weeks into flowering and drinking almost 2 gallons( about 8.5 liters i think) a day. thats why im going with buckets for each plant now.
