I would transplant too as @Rurumo suggested. Those bottom leaves are obviously nitrogen deficient. Not from a lack of nutrient, but a lack of pot space. It's cannibalizing those bottom leaves to compensate. Difficult to keep up with. Lots of tail chasing and watering to try keeping it healthy...

Good luck. Give updates.

clean water, cycle feeds down if necessary, lower ppm, change light schedule to 18/6, revise ipm treatment, properly identify pest. You should see some improvement. G/L

Sorry to see/hear you might have mites. Try your best to identify them properly before throwing the kitchen sink at them. You've already implemented some ipm. I would positively identify spider mites yourself, before treating for them. Have a look at their stages online and try to find some...

Setup looks really good. If coco proves to be too difficult, use perlite, or perlite/vermiculite mix next-time, even clay balls. With a recirculating system I'd steer away from organic materials as your grow medium. For 1 they're not as sterile and they also have a direct effect on pH and EC...

Looks good. Pretty safe to bump ppm up a good bit since distilled. See no harm in starting at 400 or so. I'd leave the silica until you see things getting better. G/L.

Can give my 2cents, sure. Glad if any of it helps and I'll try to be straight-forward. You have to do something about the water asap. Even use store bought mineral/RO water if you have to, until you get the filter system sorted out. 550ppm water, I'd cut the silica out entirely, you don't need...

Myself, I was used to coco dtw style indoors and wanted a good substitute. Had used coco/peatmoss mixes in the past. But generally found the peatmoss specifically to be too soggy when wet and stayed soggy too long. Wanted something that would drain well, have heaps of aeration, yet hold a fair...

I've found coco to be good, but coco quality to be inconsistent. Tried 50/50 mix perlite/canna terra pro last grow, liked it a lot. Trying roughly two 3rds perlite this time around and liking it more. Next time going to try 100% perlite automated. Currently using 18L pots, 1.8EC, about 6.1pH, 2...

You need to be starting the plants in a sterile medium like rockwool for DWC. It's no wonder you got root rot starting off in soil. I'd start again. May I suggest browsing the Hydroponics section at the main page. There's some good information in there, DWC specific as well. If I'm honest you'd...

Doesn't look like a typical nitrogen deficiency, looks more like lockout. I'd suggest not using any PK booster for now, if at all. PK booster is generally more appropriate towards the last few weeks of flower, too early now.

No worries, good luck.

I think so. Not a good while either. Just a couple waterings and then continue as per usual, once they're looking better.

All I'm suggesting is to double check what you're measuring. Because if you indeed dosed 10mL bloom / 1.75L of water, you've overdosed the recommended amount.

And 10mL of bloom. What about that?

Well, if you used the above measurements, then you added nearly 10x the nutrient recommended by the manufacturer. Again, 10mL of bloom is more than the recommended.

I was about to ask what your feed EC is. That seems like a lot of nutrient to 1.75L of water. Are you sure that's correct and have you double checked the manufacturer's recommendations?

I'd even suggest curing is exactly the same for some food products. Dry-cured meats, salamis, dry-aged beef, fruits, whatever, all use a process of the combination of enzymes and drying to preserve. (There's always a hanging/drying process + enzyme reaction)

Although very valid, most of the argument is environment related, not plant related. Number one argument for organics is carbon replacement. Organic growing practices supply much larger amounts of carbon back to the environment. And carbon is essential for life and soil fertility. Second...

I will agree with smoother, but not taste, or potency. If anything it loses a tiny amount of flavor after time. The biggest impact on smoothness and flavor ime is from inadequately dry weed. The enzyme reaction we want to take place, mostly happens whilst drying. I would argue that very same...
