well, hydro not my cup of tea, but the leaf curl indicated a deficiency, i think, i would lower the base nute dose, and add a cal/mag supplement, but id wait for someone more familiar with hydro to chime in

It's a potassium def your ph is either under 5 or above 6(double check your ph again) ph in hydro which will lock it out...........adjust your ph accordingly............good luck grower

edit: if your ph is still around the 5.5 and it gets worse then you have a potassium toxicity which will lock out mg and cal which also show those signs....and cold temps will also lock out potassium

How could I fix that
well first how are your room temps/ if too cold raise it........then flush with cocco adjusted ph(5.6-5.9)water double your container size.....and when dryed out give them the cocco nutes at a 1/4 strength(ph adjusted!) and see how they react.....

Brown edges is overnuted and drooping is possible overwatering looking to me if it was in dirt but I'm not the hydroguy either how many ppms are you feeding? you are checking them ain't you? you can look at the roots you wanna have them white and healthy looking if their brown and slimmy maybe overwatering my best advice is to switch to dirt~

Room temp is 65-70 what is cocco adjusted ph water
Is that at lights on or off?? meant water ph adjusted for cocco..........when you run straight cocco, it's basically under the guidelines of a hydro system.....you need to make sure your water(ppms/tds/ph) and nutes are spot on......it is NOT as forgiving soil, which is a natural buffer............good luck
