For a plant this age and size, it's highly unlikely to be an underfeeding issue lol. Considering you're using drip feed irrigation and your hydroton looks soaked, the base of your plant is probably staying too moist. I'd let it dry out a bit. I personally never understood the need/popularity for a drip ring in DWC. An aggressive bubble in your reservoir will adequately mist your net pot enough to encourage roots to emerge.
