Please help me unf*** myself :)

I posted this in the wrong section earlier so maybe reposting it here we'll get an answer but what's going on with these plants? At first it was just one in the dwc getting it bad and now all three in the dwc have it and one in coco has it. The leaves look swollen but they're crispy and they have ridges like they are three-dimensional. Any help would be appreciated. I've got some that I'm having no problem at all with it's just these in this tub and then one in a separate veg room. I keep my pH around 5.8 in the tub and 6 to 6.5 in Coco. I recently switched to crop salts. When I was running sensi ph perfect i had no problem but I don't have their bloom set and crop salts had me sold but I may be calling them tomorrow to see if they can help.

I'm not personally a big fan of fabric pots/containers growing indoors in Coco Coir. They dry out to quickly and create a more compact and less homogenous medium in my book.

The extra oxygen argument doesn't hold up to scrutiny either since you feed and replenish an aerated nutrient solution that has plenty of oxygen in it.

It's harder to water/feed evenly and they dry out too quickly and unevenly. The only positive is the ease of storage and cleaning between runs but the positives ends there. Some use the fabric pots inside as collars for the exact same reasons to make it easier to clean and maintain while not letting the medium dry out from the outside.

To better help with actual problem we need a little bit more info like what they're being fed, at what strength and how often?

Cheers!

I apologize I miscommunicated and my pictures were kind of confusing. The ones in the last picture are doing great. I agree with you though and I think that it may be a better idea to put those type of pots inside of a larger walled pot because they do dry out pretty frequently but I just thought they were supposed to and I was supposed to feed them right before they did. I am using crop salt nutrients at around 0.75 the label recommendation and I keep my p.h. between 5.7 and 6.2 in the hydro and I water he coco at 6-6.75. I shoot for an e.c. of +/-1500

Is that the bloom or veg formula or using both? Do you feed at least two times a day? I'm further along than you and I feed 3 times a day at 1.0 EC with about 10 percent runoff.

I aim for pH 6.5 running in soilless. Anything lower is aimed towards hydro and water culture systems.

1.0 EC = 1000 microsiemens.

Cheers!
