Yea looked it up I'll pick one up see how it does I'll bring the water back to my job and run a titration on it to see free chlorine and fluoride levels because my free chlorine ppb in my city tap is around 400 ppb with around <100ppb fluoride , could be a find thanx still would you my ro water for drinking scents it has option to be alkalized to a 8 ph

On my couple grows,the first set of leaves after the cotyledons sometimes will twist up or even discolor and die off without affecting the rest of the plant. yours look fine to me

Are you saying 400 PPM of chlorine? That would be insane since 4-5 PPM is the max acceptable level for drinking water. That filter will drop chlorine and floride significantly, but not as perfect as RO. More importantly though it will drop your 750 PPM tap down to about half that and into a very usable range, without the need for CalMag or silly stuff like that.

Your plants are fine. it does look a little heavy on the water.
You should not be needing cal=meg till flower starts. Thats when your girls require a little more cal.
RO is fine but you have to keep up constantly on your ph. and your ph to most should be around 6.5 but that is more of each growers style and what kind of nutes they use.
Do you have little slits cut into the bottom of the cups? Also your girls are big enough to get the hell out of there. The roots are starting to bind at this point and you are starting to lose growth you could be getting.
Good rule of thumb on watering:
Fill them till you get approx 10-15% run out. (also check that run out and see the ph coming out is in the zone) and if your pots are still wet after 4 days or so then you need to take a pencil and air out the soil so it will dry. You will have hot and cold spots in your grow so you need to check them individually and see.
They are doing fine right now .
Peace out
