Probably your issue. Run your solution level so there is a little gap between bottom of net pot and solution.
Not enough air into solution could be a problem too.
I can’t leave a space because its rdwc and it fills up to the overflow
Theres three other plants on the same system and no issues (yet)
There’s even twi limbs on the wilted plant thats still strong others not far from dead
It just don’t make sense to me but it is my first time in hydro

In order for the plants to receive oxygen, your water needs to be at least 1.5” - 2” below the netpot. The air stones alone does not supply enough oxygen to the roots by itself. You have to have that gap in there also.
How is it an rdwc if you are using an overflow. Would you happen to have a picture of your setup? Maybe ebb and flow?
I have an rdwc and I can go 6” below my net pots.
Not an overflow its the return back to the reservoir and its within 3 inches from the top of the buckets
Its one of those superflo bubble bucket systems
Net pots 7 inches deep and 10 inches wide

Could you possibly have any bugs? They would be seen only by a loupe or scope on the bottom side of the leaves, but if that would be the case, seems like they would be on all of you plants.
Pictures may help if you can.
