I was wondering if it might be poisoning the lower roots if its a nute salt build up, or screwing up the run off readings, you probably know how the mind wanders sometimes.:smoking:

Yep I've been wondering alot.....also cut those leaves as you suggested...thanks

Old, dead, dried up leafs do have a tendency to overly exaggerate any issues that pop up, and if nothing else removing them is better on the eye, the ego and light penetration and saves some work when it comes down to trimming. :smoking::smoking:

The Water report is fairly neutral for the Ca, Mg levels. Chloramines are used and you should be treating for that. The water is very alkaline probably from bicarbonates a PH of 10 is going to require a lot of PH down and this can skew your nutrient balance. How much PH down are you using and what kind?

Ok it took 2 ml to adjust 3.5 gal of water to a pH of 6.75....i took pics of process....I added 150mg of absoric acid and 6 ml of hydroguard....now I'm going to let it sit open for 24hr....also it takes way more to adjust pH when it's straight tap water...now I just mixed 1.75 gal ro and 1.75 gal tap and it only took 1/3rd that amount to adjust to pH of 6.7 why is that....also when I mix half ro half tap I get a ppm of 50-55.... What do you think? Thanks for the help..

^^^Because tap water is buffered.

Got a question would it be better to use half tap half ro ..then all tap? Or what ppm range am I looking for?

I grow in organic soil, so I’m going to leave this to someone else. Obviously, it’ll depend how you formulate & supplement your media.

So far these plants look like they could be served myself I would just take it as a loss and start up another plant if you got enough seeds and stuff of course
