If your plants are drinking 280ppm water, and the ppm is rising to 300+ they are eating very little nutes. That's way low for pretty much anything in full bloom in dwc (my dream lotus was getting 300ppm at 3 weeks from seed full veg), and since your ph is getting as low as 4.5 your shit is too far out of the ph range... so they aren't able to use the nutes. I don't believe your leaf tips would burn at 330ppm, I think that might have come from something minor that happened before.Okay, so I check the tubs daily and PH has been dropping from 6.0 to around 4.5 almost daily now. I have been cutting way down on nutes to about 300 ppm. The girls have what looks like a tiny bit of nute burn on the tips but not bad. Any ideas what is going on?
Don't know what you are putting in your water cuz I didn't read the thread... but obviously there's something causing the ph to drop. Be it slime, nasties, nutes, additives, crazy nuclear waste in your well water... who the fuck could know? A shot of the roots like you said you were gonna do with the grow lights off and not blurry as fuck would be sweet. Make sure you have the basics down though... cold water, no light leaks, bubbles, proper nutrient mix, benes/sterile, and ph. Having that down will fix a lot of shit.
All that said, I'm pretty much talking out my ass and have no idea wtf I'm talking about... so probably ignore 90% of my advice.
