stepped down from full nutes to half nutes and they're still getting worse! i'm getting really worried about them. temp, ph, venting, everything seems to be fine. is it possible that using 5000k CFLs is causing this? I can't imagine what else is really out of order. my nutes are Ionic Grow which are 3 - 1 - 5 which confuses me because i thought people prefer using 20 - 20 - 20. any quick responses would be greatly appreciated!!
My plants are getting worse!! HELP! (pix)

they are in DWCs. they were on 1/4 nutes for a week, full nutes for two days, 2/3rd nutes for the rest of that week and now 1/2 nutes for a day. i don't think i can overwater them and i think changing the water = flushing?
i have two 1 foot long bubble sticks in each tub powered by a 100 gallon whisper air pump. do i need more bubbles?
i've also noticed mineral deposits on the hydroton and rockwool and think i might have hard water. Since i'm not using hardwater nutes, could this cause the problems i'm seeing? Really need help figuring out what to do here!

hey man a guy recently was having troubles like this. His plant looked overwatered in a DWC. I told him that common sense told me that if it's overwatered in a DWC system than there probably wasn't sufficient oxygen in the water. Recently he told me he added another air pump and they were thrivin..so that's my advice, they do look overwatered.
