Help please. Going downhill fast

[JP1]

So these are all around 40 days old. They were all looking pretty good up until about week ago (except for the front left that I snapped in half, which kinda was doing ok still..) all autos. No bugs around. Coco/perlite. Autopots. 3g megacrop v3, 1ml TPS calmg, 1ml TPS silica, well water/per gallon. Total ppm 575. Keep it 5.8-6.2, generally stays around 6 half the time. 75 degrees ish, 50% humidity ish. I also flush weekly with half a gallon of quarter strength plus recharge. Haven't had this happen before and kinda concerning being that it's so sudden and affecting everybody. Only new change is new light but been using the light for a month and it's 30in away from tallest and I don't really think that's the problem

Good pics. Water source?
Looks like a weird lockout.
@Mañ'O'Green will sort this out

Oops.. well water.. got it...

Well water. Always been 50-65ppm. 6.3-6.5 out the hose

Im not a coco guy, but it kinda looks like a magnesium or calcium (leaning towards calcium) issue...? why I couldnt tell you... could be lockout or just not enough of it since they are getting to the point where they are getting ready to put out

That's my feeling to. I use half the rec calmag. But I'm doing the same thing as usual and this is new, so it's strange to affect all of them. Ya know, does liquid calmag expire? That would be a 1st for me. Bottle does say use within a year of opening, I opened it maybe a year and a half ago. But also been using it this whole time... I don't know

Try not to do anything different until ManOGreen hopefully sees this.. I'm not sure if you're supposed to add calcium when using megacrop as its an all-in-one nutrient, but I don't use it so try to hold off and don't do anything drastic until you get an educated opinion.

Watching this thread for info and confident that you'll get her back on track.

Not a drastic kinda guy. I got a pretty good steak of waking up in the morning going so far. The back 2 have probably stretched like 4-6in this week since the problem showed up so nothing is dying, but obviously solving the problem is getting necessary soon

You cannot mix silica and calcium together at strength. Always mix silica in the water first and give 15 - 30 minutes to bond to the water add the mega crop and then the calcium then beneficials. Too much free silica can wrap it self around the calcium slowing down the calcium uptake

Your well water is a big wild card it could be all Mg? or just really soft water. It makes a difference in your nutrient ratios.

It looks like a calcium problem but I don't think the problem is stemming from the amount of calcium present but more an inability to absorb it.

When was the last time you calibrated your PH meter? When was the last time you did a flush?

I would do a good top flush followed by 2.5gMC, 1g Epsom Salt and .5 g calmag/gallon & Kelp, Humic Acid and B-Vitamins

I flush every weekend with recharge. Calibrate pH meter start of every run, so that was calibrated like 45 days ago. Apera pH pen. Usually mix calmag 1st, then silica, then megacrop, let it sit for a day, pH, sit for another day, adjust pH then into the res where it goes through about a gallon a day at the moment
