Troubleshooting Help? Drip/dwc health.

Ok so this is my first attemp at hydroponics. Im running a drip/dwc system but so far i think i may be doing something wrong. I am growing 2 plants in soil and 2 in the hydroponics system but the ones in soil seem a whole lot healthier. In one of the hydro plants the leavers are long and skinny and curving down for some reason. In the other the leaves are also long and skinny but pointing up. I attached pictures of both hydro plants and a soil plant for comparison...these plants are coming up on 2 and a half weeks and ive been using botnicare pro grow (2tbs/gal) + botnicare pro bloom (2tbs/gal) + liquid karms growth catalyst (2tbs/gal) for my nutrient mix. And theyre on a 18hour cycle under a 400w hps. Can someone please offer me advice?

Cover up the root system of the plant in the first photo dude. Shes getting shocked from the light penetration. Also your nutes may be too high. Anything over 350ppm at this stage is way too much. Do you have an E.C reader and a PH meter?

yea looks like nute burn on the first on, and lockout on the second...

you dont need any nutes at this stage. ive grown plants 3x as big with just ro and cal/mag in dwc

switch to plain water, mabye a few drops of liquid karma, set ph, and wait. should take 1-2weeks to clear up
