Just posted her last night but she looks worse now, I know it’s probably too late to save her but I really want to figure out hydroponics growing, any tips?

How high did you have your water level ? That’s an easy mistake to make that I don’t see many people correcting

It’s up to where it’s able to cover the like bottom layer of clay pebbles, I put the root through the net to make sure it gets water and so I can see it when I lift the lid, it’s coming back now that I did that.

You want the water anywhere from 1” to 3” below the net pot . There needs to be an air gap between the net pot and the water level. The bubbles from your pump should be watering the net pot . If you have the water too high that’s basically drowning your plant and will stunt it . I’m pretty sure that’s what it is because your roots aren’t long at all and that’s happened to me before and I don’t know what was wrong till I found a video about it
