Mine looked like this before I started adding cal mag in coco unsure if it was the problem but seemed to fix itFirst-time grower here having major issues with a few of my plants. I'm in my 4th week of Veg, using Cultured Solutions Nutrients, in 8 gallon buckets. My PPM have been spot on according to the general recommendations from the current Culture feeding schedule, my water temperature has been steady at 68-69 degrees, and my CO2 levels have been as recommended by CC. Could this be caused by me using PH down to maintain the recommended PH levels for each week by CC? I'm getting new growth, but it seems as though it's at a much slower pace. Two days ago I did a complete system flush and added fresh RO water with 10ml per gallon of UC Roots, but a few are still looking sad. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance!

Your temps are too low ( 80-84f+ c02 + 25% more intakes on nutes vs traditional lights ), your humidity is too low ( I see 40’s, it need to be above 55% on canopy )
That’s why your plants are loooking like , see the purple lines and droop? Mag def from these results ( I def suggest + 25% on nutes and micros )
before I did that, my plants had issues, you gotta fix em ( environment is 30% of the battle )

i was wanting to crank that 1400, too... I've read more about not goin over 1600, than i have about goin above, far as co2. my regulator is limping along & originally, i thought: limitless co2, regulator cause whatever titan, stops @ 1600. so- if u were serious- that's my .02$, on the diox. the diff between 12 & 16... being night n day- i was ready to asphyxiate the entire household, over it.No, neither was I. What you said made a lot of sense, I was just showing you the current numbers. I’m using a Biowave, that’s dilating the planta stomata. Maybe that’s causing them to need and want more of everything. The company that makes it told me I could push my CO2 levels up to 2000 ppm, they also mention something about me being able to up my nutes.
Just so you know when I have my my digital min/max temps with probes on walls misc places in growroom ( it’s not same as under canopy ) cause lights do a factor difference

I try to have multiple meters , just in case if one is off or if you put it in certain ranges of room ( you know you are getting big ranges differences from min/max ) it matters to the plants stress levels
For a easy and cheap fix , Pulse environment ( this device can make it so you can see your room anywhere in the world and know everything from temps , vpd , humidity , dew point , light % and pressure of your room ) big thing I love about is you can have a log forever and know when things change in your environment and for whatever range you choose , when the range it’s out it will email if you want it to ( it logs everything in the software ) and than if you have it on main page ( which what I do) it will update every few seconds what your stats are ( this has saved my ass from when my a/c has turned off or I see my rooms off , I can easily figure out my issues in seconds and know if my girls okay
Built in batteries to keep it running g just in case if it even fails if you lose electrity . The software once you get used to ( which is ultra simple ) you’ll love cause too many companies can’t even beta test or make it too complicated imo

Humidity is to high I'm thinking. Can you take actual leaf temps. Using RO you will need cal mag. At that size they need a bit higher VPD. To calculate VPD without leaf temps can really throw ya for a loop
Roots look great.
How much is your ph and ppm swing in 24hrs? You may need to add a buffer back when using RO.

Sounds like you are trying to do the right rants and do right things ( from your above post) rock on
Are you running your lights at the 6-8 inches like fluence recommends ? Does not matter on dimmer %
That ph is far to high. I would say never go over 6.0 I suggest 5.6-6.0Thanks! The PH doesn't swing to much in 24 hours, usually over a couple of days. When it does swing, it may go from 6.2 to 6.4 and that's usually when I add PH down to bring it back to CC’s recommendation for the given week. When the problem began, I reached out to the CC support team and they advised me that constantly changing the PH can stunt plant growth as well develop unhealthy root structure. This is just one of my many rookie mistakes
That ph is far to high. I would say never go over 6.0 I suggest 5.6-6.0
Plain and simple they are wrong. That makes no sense to even have a static Ph swings of 0.2 in 24hrs allow for better nutrient uptake as a whole.
