Feeling like giving up soon

Hi everyone,
My son and I made a hydroponic tower to work on growing some herbs and some strawberries.

I’ve never had a green thumb, my soil is garbage so the combination led me to this hobby.

For some reason no matter how much guidance I follow I can’t seem to get this to grow.

We’ve got some mint in here (one is doing well, one is all but dead). Strawberries (no growth).

I’m trying to follow references on EC but I’m having a hard time with different scales for difffrent references when using the spider farmed meter.

Current readings are:
669ppm
5.87 ph
1331 us/cm (that’s 1.3 EC, right?)
0.06 salt.

Sincere thank you for any advice any of you have.

This is farm more difficult than my old hobby of brewing, but it’s primarily to try to engage with my son and growing/making things
