This seedling sprouted on the 19th. the strain is dutch passion's Euforia. i put it in my dwc unit on the 22nd. its growth has really exploded since then, compared to the rate of growth ive seen in soil. yesterday it started taking on a generally strange appearance, the leaves are kind of curling and look odd. its not wilting, the leaves and stem are very sturdy. there are some rust spots on the first true leaves and the second set to a lesser degree, which suggests mag deficiency? im hoping someone can take a look and help. ill list my environment and parameters.

I have a 4.25 gallons, I rigged up a water cooler as a chiller. I haven't dialed the temp in perfectly yet, but over 24 hours I tune it between 63F and 65, and i have a powerful air pump with large airstones. Air temp is 77 to 79, and I have good circulation. Rh is 45%. I'm using a "Viparspectra par 600" led, I used it before , it works well for veg. ph is 5.9.

Im using gh flora trio and going with the feeding schedule on growweedeasy, with cal-mag+ and hydrogaurd. my ppm started at 134, and has been eaten down to 119 over 3 1/2 days. i cant think of anything else, i might have forgotten something relevant. heres some pics

ppms are really low, bump that up to about 4-600

For a week old seedling? I thought it was supposed to be low, but this is my first attempt at hydro. Should I just mix the nutes and put them in, or should I change the res?

tap water has more ppms than you're using, start at 4-600, then move up slowly. I don't grow hydro, but I would probably change the resi.

I just did a little reading. I don't understand why she would consume more, but it is supposed to be higher. I'm gonna raise it to 400

there is 16 different nutrients the plant uses, your measurement doesn't tell you which ones it used
I just noticed your name and felt the overwhelming compulsion to shout "HI, DR NICK!"
Anyyywaaay...I'm going to have to read up more to understand this, but for now I'm mixing up a new res at 400 and changing it out.
Thank you, I wouldn't have caught this without this advice

Make sure your PH is about 5.8.
