New grower here, having trouble with some Querkle clones, they have been in the DWC bubbler for about a week.... but the leaves are drooping, and some of them are curling, like a claw, I thought maybe my nute strength is too high, 5ml gro, 2.5ml micro, 2.5ml bloom, 2.5ml diamond necter per gal. with the PPM around 400 in all buckets. I have emptied out some of the nute water and replaced with RO water. now bringing the ppm down in most buckets to around 350 Have been keeping the PH aat around 5.8 lowering it about once a day. What am I doing wrong here? too much nutes too early? The roots are looking amazing, i cant beleive the leaves look like crap, and are the stems suposed to be purple? They where that color when i got them, but I was reading somewhere that purple stems are a sign of some kind of deficiency? Any info or insight is much appritiated. these pics are from day 7 of being in the bubbler.
Is this too much nutes? Or too little? The leaves arent even that green, they have a yellow tint to them, they arent looking healthy. ANY insight or info is MUCH appritiated!! Thanks!

Now the leaves are darkening on the blades, they are looking horrible, should I flush with water? Or does this look like a lack of nutes? mabye a N defficiency??

plants look a little light. appears to be a deficiency. 400 ppm is ok for clones from my experience but that depends on how hard your water is. if the water from your tap or source is 200 ppm then that is a problem. are you using epson salt?? try a teaspoon per gallon. I recall having purple stems when I first started and then learned about adding epson salt w/ my nutrient cycle. good luck.....
