Hydroponic tomatos

I've been growing Dixie Golden Giant tomatoes in DWC and things were going well until this week. The leaves were large, clean, and deep green. The fruit were growing bigger but not showing any color change yet. Then two days ago, the entire plant looked wilted. The next morning the wilt was less but many of the leaves had black/brown edges. Now those leaves are yellow and dying. This applies to the entire plant with the exception of a few extreme ends. Anyone have any ideas?

PH?
PPM?
Water and air temp?

Wow, that is a drag!

Something similar happened to me when I put too much hydroponic nutrients in.

If you post a picture, then we can take a look.

I know a friend of mine also had an issue with his in the ground garden when his landscapers were spraying weed kill stuff and some of it must have drifted on the wind to his plants....

From what I understand, when growing hydroponically, the plants do not thrive if there are sudden changes with anything. Too much Nutrients introduced at a time, or an abrupt PH change can really shock or even kill the plants.
