Can anyone diagnose this?

Cheers, last time I did the bucket yes it was about 420 but then made a bit of a mess adjusting pH, pH up/down will raise ppm so it ended up at 480. A day later no change, pH up from 5.7 to 6.1 so put that back down to 5.6. The damage doesnt seem to be spreading and new growth is ok. Not the healthiest looking plant, she seems a bit pale, hopefully she starts feeding a bit more soon. And yeah will do a bit of work on the bucket try and tidy it up a bit make sure theres no light leeking in...cheers!

still could use a touch more Mg in my opinion. one or 2 foliar sprays with epsom should fix it
Just noticed the beginnings of more rusty spots on the newer leaves. Urgh. I hate having unhappy girls.
The foliar feed, i just did that, 1 teaspoon in 1 litre is that about right? Thanks man.

i'm not seeing rust actually. a Mg issue will show that kinds mild yellowing or light green in the leaves. they should all be a nice uniform green color.

Thanks. So pH up slightly 6.1 to 6.2, put that down to 5.7. But ppm much the same 530. Id like to see that going down, just so i know shes feeding...

Thanks.
Man, im having stress with my ppm meters, the one of been using i dont think is right, it measures my tap water at 270 and it was always 170 ish. The other one i have seems more accurate maybe because of this ive been underfeeding?
Put her at 6pH and 620ppm.
Cheers!

I think that last res change has killed her :( I added about 150ppm of CalMag then 350 of my base nutes Canna A+B but something has gone very wrong obviously...fark. Shes now in straight water hope she survives...what a fuck up.

even if your ppm meter is fucked plant should survive a 1/3 recommended dose of base nutes. and doesnt canna have calmag in its A B?

Thanks AH, its just a PITA with unreliable pens. Theyre not the $10 yellow and blue ones, one is an Adwa and the other is a Miluwkee (sp?) $60 each so not the best but not cheap junk either.
Yes will maybe leave her on plain water just to flush out whatever it was that screwed her up then tomorrow start feeding her again. Fingers crossed shell pull through, never lost a plant this early on

got one from aliexpress.before that had some shitty 5$ one from amazon but died after i didnt use for a year XD
is the ppm meter broken or did you just stop trusting it?
if you make a nute and it gives you same results its probably working maybe make a strong nute and put it slowly in to a weaker one and test if it raises ppm or if it goes like crazy changing.
