I have a few grows under my belt.Today I m working with 5 plants.The one in question is a skunk variety.6 days ago,I sprouted it.I am using tap water 380ppm 7.6 (my problem started in R/O water),I am also using a "hard water" nute (Ionic Grow for hard water).Currently I am sitting at 5.5 PH and 580ppm.Why does my plant look like this?

It's getting fried! I have hard water too and from the tap its 250 PPM. I run straight tap water PH'd for the first week then add nutes to get them up to around 300-350 PPM. I run that then bump it up slowly by 50 PPM over the veg period until around 600 PPM. I would pour out some of your full strenght nutes in your reservoir and add back in tap water.

Also, describe your setup, are the roots even getting nutrients any splashes from the bubbles below?

You shouldn't even be using nutes yet with your little seedling until it's at least 3 weeks old. After that use 1/4 strength and work your way up.

The cost of not using RO water is probably higher than using it.When you are using tap water it seems that you have to use more ph up or down to regulate the bucket.For example I was able to get my ph from 6.3 to 5.8 with 3 drops ph down in RO water,In tap water I would have to add 2 to 3 ml of ph down to get the same results!I took a couple of photos yesterday showing how this beauty looks today
