My hydroponic tomato leaves are curling downwards. Some leaves also have yellow spots. The same spots seem to be on some basil leaves in the same water container. Any help would be appreciated.

Do your plants perk up after watering? If not the problem is probably over watering your plant most of the times a plant will droop due to nitrogen toxicity (roots aren’t able to absorb oxygen due to over saturated soil) and based off the picture the yellow spots are possibly light bleaching.

Is it easy to fix?

Do a semi flush (3gal container-3 gallons straight water) then feed a gallon of something more balanced like FFGB. 6-4-4 ratio every other feed. I do 2 tsp starting out, then bump it up 1 tsp every other feed. It think it’s 3-5 tsp/gal once a week.

I’m so sorry I was was so high I didn’t see you posted about tomato plants XD sorry for the confusion m8 the yellow spots could be septoria, it’s common in tomato’s. As far as a fix for it I couldn’t tell you not well educated on garden plants lol.

Lol! Yeah OP did, I ended up growing one because a seed worked it’s way into my soil mix. Folks told me to keep it going so I did. lol!
I’ve been nursing it along with some Fox Farm I had laying around. It loves it!

Fox farm has been by go to supply chain for a while. Any of their soil works amazing for my plants and they have a great nutrient line as well. My plants love it. Still can’t believe I didn’t read this fellow was asking about tomatoes.
