Likely the plant is suffering from root rot. As soon as you chop it, pull the root ball and inspect the color of the roots. If not white but brown then it's root rot from not allowing the soil to dry enough.

Thats all I have with the limited information provided.

Also, don't take indoor plants outside, they will be very likely to bring pests back into the grow with them. Leave the outside where it belongs, outside.

Over watering is not about how much water but how often. The soil needs to dry enough between waterings. This allows oxygen to get to the roots and kill off the anaerobic bacteria that cause root rot. You may have heavily oxygenated water but it won't be that way long after poured into the soil. So if the soil stays wet all the time your roots will get sick. Allow the soil to dry enough that the pot feels light when lifted but not so dry that your plant wilts. You will be surprised how dry the soil can get before the plant wilts.

Something I first observed 30 years ago was that when the soil is on the drier side, near time to water, you get a growth spurt. The ideal levels of O2 / water at the root zone. Using an over sized pot means the soil stays saturated much longer and the plant experiences the ideal moisture less often during it's life. This limits growth and yields. DWC is a system that uses heavily oxygenated nutrient solution to attempt to achieve the ideal growth rates all the time. You either get amazing results or a bad case of root rot with DWC, not much in between lol.

We pulled that plant that’s why it’s outside
