New to forum... careful of me ;)

Is the waterfarm level?
What I see in the pic is the wool protruding on one start, and hard to see depth of 2nd 'drooper' (kinda looks well set)... but on the one doing well, the wool is deeper?

If the roots can't reach, or are submerged, the sister will not do well. if your air isn't pushing sufficient then you'll under water too
(obstructed hose?)

I'm trusting the color of your pic, which doesn't seem too green (over nuted).

I will say that I don't like distilled water, since it has no nutes of its own... but it does work like starting with a clean slate (7ph)...

Which may be part of it as well, since most nutes drop the ph over time.

in conclusion...
Check that you are not under watering, and that your ph is close to 6.

I have 2 of these waterfarms, but only use them as transitional for a couple mother superiors
(I also use an Emily's Garden for this, and do like it better, though you've either got to keep an eye on it, or set-up a float valve for her too).

Just my $.02

Good Fortune.

Check the PH. Fluctuating ph can cause this. What are your PPM's?

the ph is running at 7.1, im not using nutes at the moment and the distilled water is at 0 ppm's

yes the water farm is level, the reason why the rockwool is popping out is because the clone was a bit on the short side and i wanted them all at the same height, i hope that ok. i guess its early enough to make corrections, im only at about 2 days now.

as for ventilation i have a 6" fan in a very small box, air flow is not to much of an issue unless its overkill, and the drip rings are nice a clean.

you can trust the color, i took the photo with a iphone, these clones are from oaksterdam and were being feed 200ppm's

im to scared to use the tap water around here so i just you distilled, anyother suggestions would very cool.

this time around i was going to use sensi grow part a&B, the GH 3part was a bit to much for me and wished to try something different. i guess i should have kept the plant consistant.

i just ran out and recalibrated my ph meter, i hope a quick change to the ph and bring it down might help

thanks so much to everyone for the quick and helpful responces, +rep accross the board!

attached below are photos from saturday when i put them in.
