Theyre turning yellow because water doesnt have any nutrients in it. When a plant is in dirt, the only thing you need to give it is water, because the dirt holds plenty of nutes to keep the plant alive. (perhaps not THRIVE, but it will live in dirt without adding nutes). Such is NOT true for hydro. The plant has nowhere to pull nutrients from, so it depends on you to give it to them. A solution of only water will not support plant life. You need to add some type of plant food for them to thrive in there. Keep in mind, you need to monitor your water ph and EC (ppm). Both things (ph and ec) need to be kept within a certain range. If you can do this, and give the plant enough light, you will be successful.

good question about nutes, my hydro shop is insane expensive like 40 bucks for PH up alone... so i went and bought a box of miracle grow blooming formula the blue crystals for my DWC system can it be used for flowering?

yes but if you use those, you might want to put the nutes in a seperate cup, stir it up till it dissolves, then filter out the rest of the debris, all before you actually put it in your res. Otherwise toxic salts and other shit will build up....

Your plants are turning yellow because they have no nitrogen, you have to feed them. Your Ph should be between 5.5-5.9
