@Wisher619 Once I switch to straight water should I ph the water? Current Ph out of the tap is 7.25. I'm sorry if I ask this before.
yes ph the water
I am thinking the tap water is the actual problem
what ever is in it is causing ph swings and probably lockout within the media itself
that is what it looks like to me
also remember
when you water
whether it be with nutrients or tea or just plain water
water until atleast 10-15% drains from the bottom and then get rid of that water
do not let the plants sit in it
if you are not feeding to drain *feed to waste*
you are building up salt and burning the hell out of the roots
which is what it looks like to me
so when you flush. flush with ph 5.8
and flush until your ppm/ec level is down to say 500-600 or 1.0ec
then let it dry
again do NOT allow it to sit in the runoff
as for the Tea
there is absolutely no way it should sit that high in ph
it should be very low like around 4.0
everything in there is acidic so it should be real low
if not there is something very wrong
I have had 2 other people come to me with very similar problems
I believe it is watering practices
this is just my belief
if there are Ca issues I believe it is being caused by ph issues and a lockout is occuring
need to really reset the plants roots and start fresh
