not sure what is goin on with my clone?

OK so I bought this clone from a very reputable dispensary and have had it under my care for about 9 days. It is in a 5 gal DWC with hydroton media, water temp= 68-72, ph=right now 5.2 major isssue, using xnutrients grow, micro and bloom as directed. I know that my ph is too low so I have used ph up with no avail thus far. I am pretty sure there is somekind of nute lockout goin on so any help or advice would be awesome. Oh by the way this is my first DWC.

You gave your little clone full strength nutes? It looks like it's frying.. l...change out the water and switch to 1/4 or 1/3 strength nutes till you get a little new growth, and SLOWLY up the dosage...

It looks like you are getting lockout/burn...I hope you are not giving it full nutrients right now as its still a baby...you want to ease them into it.

The PH is a factor to how well the root system will accept the neutriets it needs. The farther away from the optimal PH of 5.8 the worse off things will be.

Check the PPM of your water, check to see if the root system is browning already, get that PH UP and settled, be sure there isn't light getting down into the res...looking at the pics there is light going down through your medium into the tank...

Once you get all these factors dialed in you should be good to grow

and do what Metasynth says about that water change

Thanks so much I took both of your advice and it worked out perfectly. ph= 5.9, brough the nute solution down and the ph leveled out. Checked out the roots and they looked great no color change at all. Also put a reflective cover to keep the light out of the res. Once again thanks you have helped save my baby.
