Hi my plants are 2 weeks old now, they are really droopy im not sure wether its over or under watering i havent watered from the top in few days or yet another issue like low temps???

1)DWC set up

2)They are in hydroton balls

3)room temps around 60f

4)humidity around 45

5)ph around 6.5 (just added some ph down because it was around 7.2)

6)The water level is just above the bottom of the pots

7)ive given them 1/4 strength nutes a few days ago

looks like ph. 6.5 is better, try to stay around 5.8-6.0 and you should have prettier less mutated growth.

could the droopy leaves be due to sudden flux in ph level?

The leaves are going pale green and crisping at the ends now aswell, my lights were 25-30 cms away do you think its heat stress aswell

That, sir, looks like nute burn. I know, i know... 1/4 nutes and nute burn? Its possible, happened to me... Try doing 1/8th strength (in the res), and pouring PH balanced water with no nutes through the hydroton

Isn't 6.5 way too high for hydro? I thought you had to stay below 6 and preferably below 5.8.
