i can't remember but have you done a 12 to 24 hour flush with 0 ppm water??
might be time to think about doing that.
About to give up completely

Is that to get rid of excess salts?

yes and also i think he's still got nute lockout. water not dropping, EC staying the same or going up/down slightly, the twisted plants too.
and then start back at even lower EC than 0.5
Stems are doing great and leaves are up
Yea i did a 12 hr run of just water. Maybe i sbould do it again and run it for 24 hrs?

go for 12, then empty it all , and go for another 12. still use the shock too. then start back at like 0.25EC or close.
Fck, this is going to take me forever lol. 300gpd ro system... fml

yep! welcome to multi plant rdwc. the bad part is that i'm sure there are a few plants that are doing OK and don't need the flush but the bad ones do. like math: the lowest common denominator. lol.

Did you use this in replacment to draining and running with 0 ppm water?

you add it to the flush water. helps suck out nutes

yup. also flushing, for some reason flushing never worked for me.
0 , nada , also RO was a waste i have 120 gall system so every water change with 1:2 RO membrane is 240 gall wasted. so i went and bought this besided i dont want to wait 4 hr to fill up 100 gall (my current 3 stage takes about 30 min for 100) now im using it at every water change at 0.4 ml per gall rate and it can be used with SAG or any beneficials

How well did this work in bringing your tap ppm down? My tap water is 380ppm with 274 ppm of it being cal/mag

only reason i went with drip clean vs flora kleen is i started to dislike GH line slowly
0 , it does not lower ppm at all , my tap is 280 and its mostly calmag, reason for 3 stage is to remove stuff like chlorine . chloramine , arsenic amd bunch of other crap dirt , sand etc. in veg my highest ppm was 1200 strain was mimosa they grew amazing. only RO will lower it to around 20-30 and if u need 0 then u need to add DI. Whats the other 90 ppm ?
This is the latest quality test

almost same as mine , u dont want arsenic and fluoride.
if i were you ill just get a nice 3 stage to remove all chemical crap and wont waste a water , run sterile or beneficial its up to u, i tried both and i like beneficial more , i can run my chiller at 68-69 instead of 65-66. i also use root exc and love it , rapid start was good too but not as good as root exc
So are you just including the ppm of your tap water into the total ppm as a base and not adding any calmag?
How exactly are you working the figurative number for feed?
