So I've been looking through threads but can't really find any answers to help me out.
Growing hydroponics, using the Stealth Hydroponics System
Stealth Hydro pack nutrients (pre-mixed)
Have 2 airstones
6 gallon res
temperatures never exceed 70F
Exhaust and circulation fans present
pH is kept within 5.5-6.0
Awaiting ppm pen (nutrients are supposed to me made for perfect ppms when dissolved in the 6 gallons.)
Plants are almost 3 weeks old. CFL's are used for lighting at about 4 inches away on the AK and 3 inches on the OG.
one of the plants is experiencing some drooping, other is growing slower but not drooping:

5 more days and one plant is growing perfectly, other is still experiencing drooping despite having swapped places with the other (rotated lid of reservoir 180 degrees):

another 5 days, drooping continues for one plant and not the other despite several attempts to fix (ph raise, nutrient redution, water reservoir reduction, addition of h2o2), other one still going strong:

Plant that is drooping also having some problems with the leaves (dark tinges on some, yellow leaves on some): in total I would say about 4 leaves are affected, and for each leaf the percentage affected ranges from 1-20% or so :

Any idea why two plants would give two totally different results when they are in the same res (same ph, same nutrients, same temperature)? Is this a competition issue? I have even swapped their positions multiple times with no change.
Here is a better look at my pictures, these two leaves were getting me so mad I broke them off (they practically fell off)
Dorsal and ventral views are both there, notice how the largely damaged parts are visible from both views. Some affected areas are a shiny bronze colour
Thanks again for everyone's help
