This is my first time growing and I was expecting problems but I tried considering all the possiblities but to no success. I started with 6 six bought white widows that are in rockwool and were put under a 40 watt CFL room that is around 4 feet length and 2 feet height that is well ventilated. The plants were in a pool of water with tap water with a ph of 7 for 24/7 that were filled up till the 3/4 of the rockwool. After a week in being the small room I moved them to a 600 watt bulb that is at least 20" from the tallest plant, for the first three days they were left in a pool of water 24/7 that had a ph 7 then I noticed the plants were turning yellow and droping so I decided to water them once a day with a ph of around 5 through 6 with a the recommended amount solution of Flora Nova, the room was below 80 degrees but since it has been getting hot here it has reached above 80 but below 85 degrees. After several days the plants are still suffering so I decide to get distilled water with the recommeded amount of solution and with no effect. One plant I am sure has died on me but one shows a sign of strength. Below will be the pictures in days that were taken in order. Thank you for taking the time to read this post and I appericate any help I can get.
My plants are not doing well plz help.

They were sitting in water? You may have drowned them..Roots can sit in water if they have an oxygen source (Air Pump)...Leaves droop when over fed not only when they need water..Gotta let them breath man..Let them dry up and try to water them only when the rockwool is dry and see if that help..Good luck

Absolutely, you can't have the, sitting in water. How are you planning on growing them? Soil, Hydro? Whatever it is, take them out of the water!!! They are drowning.

flush your system with plain good quality water...
and then give a 1/2 strength solution.. no more than that!!!

I hope you take this the right way, I think you should do some more reading and try again. Those plants are so damaged, and you're going to spend forever trying to save them.

Well, I take that back, maybe the three on the right can be saved. What is your grow plan? You cant just leave them sitting in water.
Over watering.... drowning. Don't guess what your plant needs... feel the cube it should dry out (but not too much ) between watering/feedings.
Throw all but the front right 2 girls, as said above you'll waste more time trying to make them recover...if at all possible. Those remaining 2 you have a good chance with.

I dont personally agree with this at all. Its a weed.
That being said get them out of standing water. Rockwool holds water very well. You dont need extra. Also are you going to hydro or soil? Forgive me if you already said.

unless you plan on doing a long veg on the other 2 then you can learn and expierement with the sick and wounded

On closer inspection. Get rid of the ones that look like they came out of a Dr. Suess book

Haha, but seriously,start with soil and learn how to grow a plant first. It's so much easier. Once you know how to grow, you can try out more advanced methods. Start with 2 - 3 plants, it's ant art form if you do it right.
