What would cause this much color change overnight?

Ph 5.6
DWC with bubblers working well.
Good air circulation.

I had that happen to me and discovered it was the minerals in my tap water.
I started filtering my water with a Brita water jug (which lowers the ph) and then used PH-UP to get it to 6.5
The plants healed and turned green again.. Try it.

Bubbler = hydro, no? Why would he want the PH to be 6.5, try like 5.5
