Ok, so I tried dwc again and this may be the last time. My 2 week old plants from seed are drooping and look super fucking unhappy just like me. They started out alright, I also had a top feed going. As they got bigger they started to droop more and more. Now they look like this.
The roots are fine, cripsy white, I actually wish I was growing roots, because that's the only thing that's growing for me in dwc. Ph is in range. The water temps are def not too high. I'd say they're on the colder side of the spectrum. I was using 1/4 strength GHE nutes, changed the res a few days ago to 1/2, no improvement, got worse actually, lol. I have COB led lights. No, they're not too far, as the plants are not stretching. No they're not too close as you can't even feel the warmth from them on your hand. There are no light leaks in the res. The res doesn't stink. The water should have more than enough air in there. I have 4 air stones bubbling right under the roots. It was 2 before. I put another pump in there a few days ago, no improvement. I thought maybe the space between the net cups and the water is too much,because the roots just recently hit the water, so most of the roots weren't submerged although they are dripping wet from the bubbles, so I changed the res again today, added more water, so It's almost touching the net pots, also added more nutes as the 3rd week has started. A few hours have passed and there is no improvement. If it was underwatering I guess they would have sprung up pretty quickly. Atleast that'a how it was during the good old soil days where I had no major problems and I could come to the growroom and leave with a smile on my face, not pissed off and ready to punch a hole in the wall and throw the plants in the trash.
I am using tap water and it is pretty hard, so that is the only thing I can think of, but like i've read people doing that and not having a problem. And no, I can not get ro water, because there's just nowhere to buy it in my shitty ass country. I also do not wish to install a filter, I'd rather just grow in soil. Sorry for being rantyish, I'm just really upset, because I'm not used to having such a hard time growing weed. Hope someone can help, thank you!!

.Her roots are also the smallest rn, so maybe there's a correlation.
