You need to lower your water level to 2 inches below your net pots and 3 inches would be even beter from here on out…
Your running the risk of drowning them or damping them off by killing the trunk…
Also , you never mentioned the water temperature…
The plants look cold …
Another thing , is your little fans blowing directly on your plant’s?
If so , get a little stronger fan and point it at the wall and get the air to circulate around the tent instead of directly at your plant’s… :+1:
Everything else looked like it was in range as far as i could tell…
Sometimes they just have little hiccups… :wink:

Thank you @peachfuzz, i after my last post i read somewhere that you should leave a few cm between the net pots and the water level so i kept it 5 cm below for the ost few weeks … and the plants stardet to look a bit better.
It has now been 4 days since i switched to 12/12 light input, and today i noticed a few black spots on some leafes.
Here are some pics.
Maybe you know what is causing this …


I also feel like the plants are a bit light in colour

Thank you for the help :v::four_leaf_clover:
