Does anybody know what’s wrong with my plants. It was said it Can’t be over or under watered since I’m growing hydroponic. I’ve also tried multiple things to get my temps inside my box down. It was average 90+ degrees. But you can see my new temps on grow meter. I just changed the water an put in nutes a day ago. It could possibly be wind burn since I had a small fan pointed directly at my plants but it has been 3 days since I moved the fan upward.
Help anybody know what’s wrong...week for of grow

How far above the soup is stem? Just roots are in it with some air space? Because you can overwater in hydro if not set correctly.

And what is in those net cups for inert support media?
Water is about and in. under net pods in resovoir. They are in jiffy pellets. Which I’m starting to think they suck. But I don’t know what you are askin...

the roots look healthy for now but if you don't get those water temps down your in for a world of pain when the root disease sets in
im not saying its related to what your current dilemma is but its gonna be a problem for sure
im not a dwc or aero guy but im betting the peat is also staying too wet or at full saturation
are you using a sterilizer like h202 or bleach or an enzyme like hygrozyme or beneficial bacterias in the root zone?
I might also spray them for PM just to be safe ..maybe some greencure
your humidity is good so it may not be necessary but its not going to hurt
is your humidity always that good or does it spike during lights out?

The nets around those peat pucks can be death traps I hear due to how much they make the puck retain moisture. I cut them off even when using them in soil.
As you can see the pod in the front is extremely wet. Don’t know how to help it dry out. My humidity has been around 50% last couple days. But it also hasn’t been to hot outside. I just made a mix of root stimulator and cold RO water. But my box temps were averaging 90-93 but I got temps down.

honestly
id consider a long term plan to switch your grow style or find a way to EFFECTIVELY reduce the reservoir temps = chiller
the grows style you've chosen water temps are perhaps one of the most critical issues
your roots look healthy and the solution looks nice and clean which will help so you don't have issues as of yet but they will come at those temps
youll need to get the temp below 70 (preferably 65) to successfully mitigate root issues over any length of time
Spray them with what pm? And I’m trying to reduce the saturation in the peat pellets. I’ll try cutting my ac unit off tonight

powdery mildew (PM)
I might hit them with some greencure.. but my region is prone to PM you may not do the same if you've managed to keep your humidity in check
but they look like they might benefit from it..possibly
and its not going to hurt anything
but maybe wait until you get the medium a bit more dry to be safe I guess...that's likely the main issue
