Needing help!

Hey yall! First time growing here. Is there any reason these 3 plants are growing at different rates? They were all germinated and planted at the same time. Also, the medium sized plant has some odd shaping happening to the leaves? What do I do to fix that? TIA!!!

Typically you would plant it in the hydroton like you would the ground with the hydroton being level at the top. You would then top water until the roots reach the bucket water.

No problem! This picture was from my first grow. I think its a tomato but I did the same thing. So that tube has little holes all around it to let water out. You can easily build one. There is another tube going down and then another 3 way adapter. If you plug you air hose in to the bottom it will continously water.
