I am having issues with my plants that are drooping I have a total of 4 plants two are doing great while the other two are drooping one is a seedling with about 4 true leaves with multiples coming in while the other has about 10 true leaves and keeps growing more. they have been grown from seed the bigger one I switched over to dwc and yesterday was the start of the second week while the other is just finishing its first week today.

I will be doing a bucket change tonight I was thinking of lowering the nut strength to 200ppm for my seedling if not lower. My bigger plant was changed on wen and its sitting around 260-280ppm starting from 240. My temps run about a constant 77-79 room air while the buckets I change out frozen bottles all day and stay about 70-72.(I am waiting for my bigger pump then I am going to start pulling cold air from an ice chest)

For my Ph they are currently at 5.5

the strains I am running that are causing me issue are Jack Herer and Caramelo. The strains that seem to be doing great are Sour Diesel and Critical Sensi Star

I will take pics when they get up tonight but any ideas would be appreciated. I dont know if I am being paranoid being a new mom or if I have a problem I saw a spider run through which I then sprayed the room with some dont bug me by foxfarm. Also checked to make sure the medium is staying wet I am really out of ideas and since I am new to DWC I am not sure what to do. HELP PLEASE !!!!:wall::wall::wall:
 
How were the seeds started? it sounds like overwatering to me. placing rockwool too low and water level too high will cause them to drown
 
Thanks guys for replys, I have changed the water levels which I brought them down which has not seemed to work I tried to transplant since when I touched my medium it was bone dry. and now there is some moistue but not much. Here are some pics I have also been tryin to keep my PH between the 5.5-6.0 the ones that look good are SD, Caramelo and Critical Sensi, the one that is doing back is JH.

I started them in rapid rooters in a cloning station misting them whenever the medium was dry with a spray bottle. This plant has been weak from the gate or finicky or its just me with the lack of experience.
 
I put my rapid rooter on a single layer of hydro-ton, that way if I keep my water at bottom of net pot they never drown and always keep the rapid rooter moist, thus roots get to water quick. Never an issue, with such a small plant in such a big pot you need some sort of drip to help moisten the hydro-ton and get the roots looking down ward for water.
