Your not explaining how… eg. Overwatering caused lack of gas exchange and thus a lack o2 and increased co2 trapped killing off microbial life leading to decay and a high production of co2 as a result that then becomes trapped and dissolved in the water forming carbonic acid that causes a ph crash.Ive done runs with out phing my water. Always led to nutrient problem. Simply going back to pHing my stuff the problems stopped. Thats some of my experience. I can go through my journals and find the times ph was the problem to give more exact times. I know my wife wpuld water when im was out of town and wouldn't ph. Low and behold i had nutrient issues that were fixed by pHing the water. And that was the only thing she didnt follow on my instructions. But when my ph is consistent to what my medium needs my roots go crazy and my plants flourish. For 5 gallons of water takes more then 1 drop of ph solution. When i said 1 drop that was to one gallon.
Thats explaining how. There are many many man reasons you experienced what you did…. BUT i can say with ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE it was not for the reasons you claim
