    They look severely overwatered, and one of them looks like its starting to show a pH defiency. the bottom picture to be precise. ive never used hydro so i cant really comment on how it became overwatered, sorry. :confused:

    are you following the waterfarm instructions???? it also comes with nutrients and none of it includes Hydrogen Peroxide.

    Suggest getting some General Hydoponics nutrients and using that.

    Check your airstone if its working properly and your water level. Hydro PH should be 5.5 - 6.0 with 5.8 being best, jumping up and down between 5.8 and 6.2 is not good in hydro. Anything over 6 is not good in hydro.

    im about 90% sure that peroxide can cause ph fluctuations as light and air gets to it... thats what killed a few of my plants...
