White widow plant is really messed up!!!!!!!!!!

I bought a WW clone about 10 days ago from a medicinal clinic. It was a very nice lush green. I decided to put the clone into my hydro tank when I got home. I decided to keep the white wrapping on the rockwool on and placed it on top of hydroton. I currently have G 13 only in the hydroponic tank and thought I would see what happens. My new clone drooped heavily and turned quite yellow as you can see below. The plant has started to show a bit of green again in some places, but yellow still in other areas. But all of my G 13 plants are a very nice green color. I took the white rockwool plastic off and buried the rockwool into hydroton instead of placing it on top. Is my white widow clone nutrient deficient or overfed?

It might be a deficiency but drooping leaves are usually caused by overwatering. How much do you water it? Most mediums dry up within about 4 days, but it depends on how rooted the whole plant is. If you water it once every 4-5 days itll perk up. But if anything it could be a nitrogen deficiency. Are you feeding both of these plants the same?

The flood and drain table is watered 4-5 times a day 30 minutes to an hour each cycle, some days it only gets watered twice. The clone is not well rooted at all and the rockwool cube it came in was a beefy cube that was freshly watered. could that possibly be causing my plant to droop? And the G 13 is very green and not drooping as I heard heard, tested, and found out that they can consume so much nitrogen. I added 4 times the nitrogen measurements and they took off. Is it that WW might need even more N, or possibly the rockwool cube being wet from the beginning?

too much nitrogen will cause slow root growth on your clone for sure so dont add any more N. The yellow leaves will never come back to green, give it some time to adapted and grow roots, then up the N for faster top growth once roots are establisted.

the rockwool cube has to be moist for the roots to grow at all times add some seaweeds abstract something like canna rhizotonic i only mention it because its what i use but ther is many out there that shoul work as good rhizotonic is one of the best.

too much watering , flood the tray half that much and it should improve.

It could be much simpler than that. If the plant has little or no root it could be getting way too much light.

White widow is a strain for experience growers, most use barely any nutrients or just go organic so the nutrients isn't introduced to roots too fast. I haven't looked into growing it but id ask one of the people growing widow for some advice. G13 is probably much more resilient, but widow is more delicate. Try giving it about 1/2 of the suggested serving of nutrients, and when it asks for more you can put more until you reach the recommended serving. And Jefferstone reminded me, how close are your lights and what type are you using?

my lights are about 19 inches away from the light. All the big ones are LST.

Lights are HPS
