Plants not eating

Hey
I'm starting week 7 flower this Sunday (almost done week 6)

Plants were doing great until Tuedsay. They just stopped eating.
Up until Tuesday they were eating 200ppm daily.
Now nothing.

Roots look perfect. No slime no root issues.

Yesterday I did a res change early. Filled with ph balanced RO water and let them sit in that for the day.

I refilled with fresh nutes and went lower on EC to 900ppm.

And again today not eating.

Here's my details

RDWC system
Water temp 68deg
Tent temp 70deg
Humidity 50%
Running 900ppm of Remo line
PH 5.8
Roots perfect
Leaves are good no symptoms
Week 6 day 5 of flower

I did read that EC static, PH static and water dropping is perfect Conditions, but I assume that if you're adding nutes to the top off Reservoir and the plants feed from the top off Reservoir.

I am running straight RO from my top off Reservoir and topping off the system as the plants need it.

Plants look OK without any considerable symptoms, just curious why they just instantly stopped eating.

I assume nute lockout would show symptoms within the 4 days they have stopped?

I have had this happen with DWC set up.
I changed the buckets with fresh everything in case of excess build up of nutes.

Your assuming there not eating because the ec did not drop?

Water stop going down?

I think I understand what your saying that your feed at .9 ec ( eg 450ppm)
Then you see them eat .2ec ( or 100ppm)

So your starting at 5.8 and I would assume it higher when eating ?
Usually would be the case as my nutes drop mine.

Stable ph and ec and water dropping it perfect conditions in which there eating .

Your ec dropping with the water is an indicator for more .
