PLLEEEEEASSE help me. I can't for the life of me or my girls figure out whats wrong with them.

I'm thinking Nitrogen or Phosphorus deficiency... but im far from an expert...

The smaller of the two's lowest leaves are turning yellow (but she looks perkier than usual) and the larger is droopy/wilting like CRAZY.

I dunno what to do...suggestions? Thanks in advance! and +rep to whomever helps

The last picture on the right looks like over watering.

They should not need nutrients for a while.

Yea I stopped nutes and will not continue for 2 more weeks.... but can a DWC get over watered? the water height isn't higher than it should be.

What is your definition of "higher than it should be" ?

If the rockwool is soaked all the time then the plants roots will suffocate.

good question lol...well i meant the water in the rez.. its just touching the bottom of the net cup.

the rockwool.. yeah, that is true. should i take them out of the rockwool then? or just leave it, and hope this all just goes away.

LOL... you should lower the level of the water until it is not soaking the rockwool. The purpose of the rockwool is just to hold the seed and get lightly watered.

The important point is that the seed get a taproot down in the water. It will actually happen faster if the rockwool is not soaked. That way the plant goes looking for the water.

the rockwool isn't on the bottom of the netcup there is a layer of hydroton below it, but ill lower it more... yea i know thats the purpose, lol. I just found a buncha posts saying it should be just touching the bottom while you start then gradually lower it... guess u can't believe everything you read. hah...ill lower it some more then.

Whoops...
The rockwool cubes should be damp. You can hand water them from the top for a few days but dont over water. Once the roots get into the DWC they will not need help anymore.
