Tropaeolum growing hydroponically deep water culture. LEDs provide side lighting rather than above so they don't grow inward and over shadow each other. More vertical space down the sides for them to naturally hang down. These have been growing rapidly now that they are properly rooted and I have the nutrients and acidity balanced.

Well that might be the issue then, because I'm reading these plants actually thrive in nutrient deficient soil for the most part unless flowering. If that's the case, just hold back on refreshing whatever you have in there now on your usual schedule. If they start getting new growth when what you've added has been used up, just add 1/4 of whatever you've been adding at the next refresh after letting it lapse. So skip a refresh, see how they do, then wait a full refresh period before adding 1/4 the amount you normally add.
