I can't say exactly what the problems are, but I can make some observations:

1) It looks like you have water tubes going directly into the rockwool cubes. If it's possible to overwater with a DWC, that's how to do it. Personally I just set them up so the bottom of the net-pot barely touches the nutrient solution, and that wicks up plenty of water for the plants. They will put down roots pretty quickly.

2) When I do my grows, I bury the rockwool in the hydroton. That puts the roots closer to the water and provides more hydroton for the roots to latch on to as they grow out of the cube.

3) It's hard to tell, but it looks as though there is something wrapping the sides of the rockwool cubes? If that's true, remove this wrapping. The roots will grow out of the sides of the cube in addition to growing out of the bottom.

4) If you're doing any kind of foliar feeding, I'd lay off of it for a while.

5) What are you doing for aeration? Are there bubblers in the bottom of that tub?

1) changed that. in all the pics ive seen the tubes have been running right over the rockwool

2) im going to put more hydrotron on in the next few days so maybe this should help

3/4) i havent been doing any foliar feeding so thats a plus

5) i have a air stone in the bottom its one of the big 6" diamiter air stone

and currently im not using any nutes because the ph is too high

thanks for the help man i hope they get better

Getting any improvements?

oh yes very. i added liquid nutes and lowered the Ph to the correct level and they are doing better. i just started the nutes (very very late i think i screwed them over though by waiting so long). a link to my log is below im going to add new pics tomorrow.
