dude stop using hydrozyme for now until they get better, you most definatly are feeding too much, those plants are too dark green and starting to curl effect.

Are you feeding them anything else besides the stuff you typed?
Why do you have hydroton on top of soil?
Also I would stop using distilled water, you do not have anything in your nutes to replace the micronutrients the distilled water lacks.... add some tap water to your mixture. Not to mention distilled water is acidic, have you teste your soil pH run off?? Do you know how too?

What is the dosages you are feeding these plants?

Have you tested how wet your soil is? what brand of soil are you using?

that is fox farm ocean forest, yeah i let my soil dry out inbetween waterings. hydroton is on the top of the surface for when i water to prevent dirsupting the soil and encouraging nicer soil. so how much tap water should i add to my mixture? also i got a ph tester on the way so i can update here in a little bit. Dont you think if i was using too many nutrients that the plant would show signs of nute burn? Also whats so good about tap water that i would add? thanks alot

It IS showing signs of burn. It is too dark, the leaves are curling under, and you said the leaves are brittle. Nute over dose.

Stich is the guy, but, IMO, I would recommend feeding nothing but distilled water until you see some yellow on the bottom leaves. The FFOF will feed them for 3-4 weeks by itself (has guano and fishies in it). I have also read (I haven't used them) that the foxfarm nutes are way too strong at the dosages on the bottle. Stop using all nutes all together for 2+ weeks. Then feed @ 1/2 strength and with ph'd food/water.
