I bet they perk right up after seeing the oxygen they are craving.I did not have any air stone in my res. Just added one in. And going to feed today to see if that helps. Some plants are fine and others look horrible.
It kinda looks like a phosphorous and magnesium deficiency. Water at least once per day.
I use this feed schedule and have never had a problem

I would like to agree with SeriousBurner that I see signs of a phosphorus deficiency. I would ask your friend who grows in coco to check this against his assumptions that you should alternate between 5.8 and 6.1. I submit that you already pass through 6.1 after every watering at 5.8, and that you are missing the low and middle end of the hydro range by never coming in at 5.5. I also repeat my above and state that when you water at 6.1, you drift almost immediately out of the range and of course you are going to see deficiencies as a result. You might ask your friend why it is appropriate on that watering cycle to let the pH drift up into the soil range, because I am sure he will have an explanation for you. Welcome to the online world, the place where Bro-Science and actual science meet and have a discussion. It is now up to you to choose which path to follow.I water between 5.8-6.1 alternating feedings to get the best uptake of nutrients. I was told this by a friend who grows in coco.
Now thats GOOD NEWS!!!Just wanted to give an update. Fixed ph to 5.6-5.8. Plus added the air stone. Plants love it. They are all growing beautifully now and at a faster rate than in promix
