Combo of overwatering and your ph is too low so your plant isn't taking up all the nutes it needs...6.8-7.0 is ideal for soil!very important.
Fix the ph but I think it's from overwatering.Don't overfeed or same thing will happen.:thumbsup:

Since you are not growing in soil I would say that your problem is from a high tds. I say this as your leaves are curling, burning(browning) and algae is growing off the excess nitrogen on the perlite. Cut the tds in half at least and you should be fine. If you were growing soil I mix my nutes to 5.9-6.1. Your tips are not burnig so I wonder did you just up the tds? What nutes are you using?

I always have a ph on soil of 6.0 and that´s the ideal ph.. It´s just overwatering.. don´t worry and give the roots a chance too breath

Sorry but I do not agree. Over watering with a high tds sure. But to much moisture to the rhizoshpere will not cause your leaves to curl as much as droop. Your tips are not burning so maybe you are using alot of ions to adjust the ph with the right amount of NPK ions? Could you mention the feeding structure you are using?

sorry guys i havent been getting email notifications as i said i replaced the nutrient with plain water and little did i know my digital timer was stuck on 24/0 so theres my reason the plants were over watered and droopy i have since put them on 30min feeds once every 3 hours they are loving it tonight i will go back to 50% nutrients the nutrient i had been using was "Total Growth" made by R&D Aquaponics an Australian business i have changed to Europonics the PH did drop from 6.2 down to around 5.8-6

My PH is 6.8 but I use soil so a soiless medium should have a lower ph this is true.
